    New England Grows 2016

    If I get there, I'll be sure to "look up", @macswan! (Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No! It's a climbing arborist!)

    Profit sharing

    I was wondering if rewarding employees who show commitment to the business might also be done via continuing ed opportunities that can come from a company profits; opportunity to get more skills and certification translates potentially into positions that pay better. I agree that bonuses are...

    Two cedar trees in SE Mass being "bugged", how serious is it (pics included)

    That's very interesting, Guy--I have said to the folks here that to take down the old trees just to put up new ones and start the whole process of neglect all over again is insane, a waste of money, and killing the town character. I had looked at the planting instructions for the new street...

    Retire was probably not the best word to use. :D I had a quick look at your website and find it very informative. I will likely use it for reference when helping my Fairhaven friends. Just realized you're down by Cary NC; my sister is in Chapel Hill and my mom just moved down to Durham a...

    Guy, The "highway tree" is a Tilia platyphyllos, one of two. It's definitely one that falls under the state's care. I think it is in worse shape than people realize and enclose some snaps of it that shows the condition. the overhanging branch just barely arcs over the right of way though a...

    Guy, it is always possible to have someone do proper pruning if the town officials (in this case, it is suggested the state of Massachusetts has jurisdiction) are of the mindset to save the tree if it is otherwise in good condition. Despite Massachusetts' longtime and very robust public shade...

    Hi @guymayor , I don't really know a whole lot. A member of a group of concerned residents confronted the town DPW and the Tree Warden and was told the state had marked it for removal due to a large branch overhanging the road and then the town Tree Warden (the chiropractor, remember) chimed in...

    I learned that the church who owns the property actually uses the lawn care services of one of the longtime better arborists around these parts so probably won't hurt to have him take a look at 'ant tree' (for want of a better name) when his crew is around next time, just for giggles. There is...

    Two cedar trees in SE Mass being "bugged", how serious is it (pics included)

    Yeah, there's a small round hole in the trunk that has the ants coming and going like a frat party. I did couple the tree base photo with that with the dead wood in the canopy since I'm not the expert like you are (all of you on this forum). Even if the ants aren't doing serious damage, it...

    Thanks @Treezybreez , I take it the cicada is the second tree "hitchhiker". Bad news for it, there has been nesting cicada killers about 50-70 feet away. So the ants are not the original excavators of the hole in the first tree? Just opportunistic at finding a cavity to get inside?

    I noticed two red cedars (coastal Massachusetts) that are hosting a couple of varmints. I know that the trees in question are too close together for starters. They are on the park-style property of a church in Fairhaven, MA so I was hoping to get some advice to pass along to the church about...

    SEO

    I am interested, Jason, and just to be transparent, I have to admit that I am not familiar with the technology they used for your website; I believe it was a custom-built deal using coding language called Bootstrap. I am all but exclusively Wordpress that I know how to build, update and...

    SEO

    Hi Jason, Have they gotten back to you with the Google Analytics I told you about "offline"? You are paying WAY too much even with great results.

    Yet another new website for review

    Thanks for the note on the iPhone issue; it is a case where one has to rotate the screen ( same with Android phone). I experimented with different options on the portfolio tool and none were going to be optimal with smartphones. Carol Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

    So some of you know me as the gal who gives feedback on websites and now you get a chance to lob a few logs at me. I helped Hill Treekeepers get a new look. The old site looked like this: The new site is at http://hilltreekeepers.com The goal was to get it easy to update and maintain...

    Is that Tree Services Magazine (http://www.treeservicesmagazine.com/)? Couldn't find www.treeservice.com nor a legitimate www.treeservices.com.

    @oldoakman , your tagline about sharp tools goes along very well with the videos! Made me laugh again!

    I like the one where the cameraman dryly quips, "Well, that wasn't the plan." The second one sounds like they need a new groundsman...

    Okay, here's a website I've just completed for http://hilltreekeepers.com, using their targeted demographic and personal style to highlight their work. I am finding that anyone Google searching for arborists in the Hudson Valley is getting Hill Treekeepers on the first or second page of...
