Professional Tree Care Services in Waterville, Maine

Pinnacle Tree Professional Arborists is proud to serve the residents and businesses of Waterville, Maine, a vibrant city with a deep history on the Kennebec River and a beautiful, growing tree canopy.

Waterville's Unique Tree Landscape and Challenges

Waterville's location in Central Maine, with the Kennebec River running alongside it, provides a unique environment for a variety of beautiful, mature trees. From the historic homes near Colby and Thomas Colleges to the revitalized downtown area, the city's green spaces are essential to its character.

However, the trees in Waterville face distinct challenges that require expert care:

• Invasive Pests: Waterville, like many communities in Kennebec County, is on the front lines against damaging invasive species. We offer targeted solutions for pests like the:
• Emerald Ash Borer (EAB): EAB has been detected in Waterville and poses an existential threat to all native ash trees. We provide preventative treatments and safe removal of infested trees.
• Browntail Moth: The irritating and defoliating hairs of the Browntail Moth are a serious public health and tree health concern. Our arborists can identify and remove the winter webs to protect your property and family.
• Hemlock Woolly Adelgid: This pest can cause significant decline and mortality in hemlock trees, particularly in Central and Coastal Maine.
• Weather Damage: Maine's severe weather, including heavy snow, ice, and strong winds, frequently results in storm-damaged trees, downed limbs, and hazardous situations.
• Shoreline Management: Properties along the Kennebec River and local streams require special attention to manage vegetation while complying with Maine's Shoreland Zoning Guidelines, which regulate cutting near water bodies to protect water quality and habitat.
