Courtney Kelly of Arbor Tech- Removed 3 large hemlocks from our property in Alton. All three trees over the past year started to look thin. We came up in March and 1 tree had thousands of wood pecker holes was clearly dead and the 2 others looks to be in poor health. Court mentioned that the woolly adelgid had infected some trees in Alton last year but they were all removed. He thought the tree had a bug called the hemlock borer. He was correct as I contacted the New Hampshire Forestery Dept. whom surveyed our property and reported back to us that the trees were infected with the hemlock borer and the trees needed to be removed. Once the forest dept found out that we resided in Worcester they were up at our property the next day.

I would recommend Arbor Tech anyday. Looks like I never had trees taken down as I was expecting some lawn damage and some sawdust piles.
