Services
Tree Pruning
Our certified arborists use proper techniques to enhance tree structure, health, and aesthetics. We focus on removing deadwood, improving branch spacing, and maintaining natural growth patterns while minimizing stress to the tree. Regular pruning extends tree lifespan and reduces storm damage risks.
Tree Removal
We safely remove hazardous or irreparably damaged trees using specialized equipment and rigging systems. Our crew prioritizes property protection during removals, even in challenging locations near structures or power lines.
Stump Grinding
After tree removal, we use state-of-the-art grinders to eliminate stumps below ground level. This process restores lawn usability while maintaining soil integrity and minimizing ecological disruption.
Tree Planting
Our experts recommend and install appropriate tree species based on Vermont's climate and soil conditions. We ensure proper planting depth, root development, and initial care for long-term tree establishment.
Shoreline Tree Service
We specialize in removing hazardous shoreline trees while preserving lakefront ecosystems. Our methods protect water quality and adjacent vegetation during view-improvement or risk-mitigation projects.

I hired Limbwalker to take down a couple of big leaders off a tree hanging over the back of my house and clean up a couple of buckthorn bushes. Sara, Mike, Courtney, Steve and Andrew couldnt have been more professional, knowledgeable, courteous, timely and thorough. When the job was finished the cleanup was so detailed youd never have known the work was done that day. There wasnt even any sawdust. And I had a nice stack of firewood for winter! I highly recommend Limbwalker to anyone looking to get tree work done and I will definitely contact them again for all future tree needs.

I contacted Limbwalker for a free consultation about several large ash trees growing very close to my house. They replied and scheduled the visit very quickly. Mike came out even in the rain and was extremely knowledgeable and professional. He was able to assess all of the trees in question, answer my questions about which trees would be better to treat for emerald ash borer protection and which were likely not healthy enough, and provide a free estimate for treating or feeling the trees. I was very impressed overall and would highly recommend their services.

I have had Limb walker do 3 big jobs and one small one over the past 3 years. On each occasion they gave me an estimate very promptly and the estimates were quite reasonable. They were able to do the jobs with minimal delay and they completed the jobs very efficiently. In all aspects of interaction they are professional, courteous, knowledgeable and very easy to work with. I dont usually write reviews but their service is outstanding. Rick Rawson. Sudbury Vermont

Everyone at Limbwalker was a pleasure to work with! They had the best prices out of the 3 quotes that I got from local companies. When they were pruning the large Maple trees they made sure I was satisfied before they finished and the clean-up was impeccable. They don't use heavy machinery and it was truly amazing to watch them "limb walking" in the trees. Sara is the behind the scenes employee and she was so easy to communicate with. Super responsive, professional and friendly. Overall great company to work with. Highly recommend and will use them again next time I need any related work done!
