Tree removal in North Yarmouth, Maine.
When a tree has to come down in North Yarmouth, it is usually a big one close to something that matters: a roof, a driveway, a power line, or a well. The town is mostly woods, and many lots were carved out of standing forest, so mature pines and hardwoods often grow close to the house.
We remove unwanted, dead, storm-damaged and hazardous trees for homeowners, haul the brush, and give a free on-site estimate before any work is scheduled.
Removal near the Royal River and its brooks
The Land Use Ordinance treats the 100 feet closest to the Royal River, Chandler Brook, the East Branch, Knight's Pond and the other protected waters as a buffer strip. Removing a storm-damaged, diseased, unsafe or dead tree there is allowed, but if the removal opens a gap in the canopy, the opening must be replanted with native tree species unless young trees are already coming in. Ground cover under three feet and the forest duff layer are to stay in place there.
In the Resource Protection District, cutting is limited to what the uses allowed there require, and in the Royal River Corridor Overlay clearing for purposes other than timber harvest goes through site plan review. A single hazard tree is a different conversation from clearing, but the Code Enforcement Officer is the one to confirm it before the saw starts.
What happens to the wood
The town's Brush Recycling Facility on Public Works Way takes brush and trees from residents by appointment, but it is for residents only and refuses stumps and any tree over 24 inches in diameter. Large trunks from a removal are cut and hauled with the rest of the debris, or left in rounds for firewood if the owner wants them.
Burning brush on site requires a permit, which North Yarmouth Fire Rescue directs residents to obtain from the Maine Forest Service or at the station. On soft Lamoine and Scantic silts, heavy equipment can rut a lawn in a wet spring, so larger removals are timed for firm or frozen ground where the tree's condition allows.
A tree that is already failing is taken down promptly regardless of season, with mats laid to protect the lawn. Every removal starts with the free on-site estimate so the drop zone, the haul route and any shoreland limits are settled before anyone climbs.

How we handle tree removal
When a tree has to come down, we start with an honest assessment and a free on-site estimate, then remove it — unwanted, dead, storm-damaged or hazardous — and haul the brush away. Large or hazardous takedowns are quoted case by case.
