About JW Ballard Tree Service and Excavation

The Salmon Falls River runs the town line at Berwick, brown and quick past the old mill sites, and on the Maine side the fields climb away into hayland and woodlot. JW Ballard Tree Service and Excavation works that whole mix — pasture oaks reaching out over a fence line, hemlocks crowding a barn, village maples that want trimming back off the wires. Removals come out over ground chosen in advance, because a yard in a thaw remembers everything that crossed it. In a hard blow the softwoods go first, and storm damage cleanup runs the length of a road: trunk cut and rolled, limbs fed to the chipper, the shoulder left bare. Pruning is the quiet half of the year, done in the cold months when a tree's shape is easy to read and the cuts close over by spring.
