North of the Sleeping Giant, Hamden goes quiet and wooded, and by mid-October the oaks over Still Hill and Shepard Avenue are shedding enough limbs to keep somebody honest. Boyhen Property Services LLC is that somebody: tree removal for whatever is dead, dying, hazardous, or simply standing where a yard wants to be something else, with climbers running rope-pulley systems and technical rigging so limbs come down without marking the ground beneath them. After a storm they assess first and start on the urgent things immediately, and the stump gets ground flat whether or not they were the ones who took the tree. On bigger ground they clear lots of any size — brush and tree removal, trenching, fine grading and leveling, site preparation, gravel driveways, shed pads — for homes and businesses around Hamden, North Haven, Cheshire and Wallingford. Through the cold months there is seasoned firewood, hand split, no dirt, ready to burn, delivered and stacked if you want it that way, and snow removal when the weather asks for it.
