Featured Services
Land Clearing and Storm Cleanup
Looking to clear a lot for a new house? Perhaps some trees have grown and are blocking one of your favorite views. Millbrook has extensive experience with safely removing trees in a woodland or backyard setting. Let us help add more useable space to your property, possibly increase your land's value, and maybe even leave you with useable wood for firewood or lumber (we can refer you to experienced sawyers if you do not have your own mill).
Technical Tree Maintenance and Removals
Have a tree that is beginning to decline and threaten your buildings or the safety of visitors? We are capable of removing trees that require more than just a cut with a chainsaw to safely remove. Climbing hazard trees is one of our specialties, and we would be more than happy to offer you a quote for removal. We would also love to work with you on pruning and tree preservation jobs. With a little maintenance declining trees may be saved for years to come.
Trail Construction
Do you wish you had a way to access more of your property? Are you an avid hiker, skier, or off-road vehicle enthusiast? A new trail may be just what you are looking for. However, there is a lot more to trail construction than merely going out with a saw and cutting some trees. A poorly-constructed trail can cause irreparable damage to your land through erosion and over-use. That's why Millbrook Landservices has a specific passion for trail design and loves assisting landowners get the most out of their forested properties. Whether you wish to build a simple nature path, or an extensive multi-use trail network, Millbrook can help. In addition to extensive professional experience maintaining and building trails, we are also avid outdoorsmen, ourselves. Some of our favorite sports are downhill skiing, bicycling, and snowmobiling. Not only do we have the technical know-how to build your trail, we also have the passion for the sports to make sure it is designed to be as enjoyable as possible for whatever use you had in mind.
Maple Sugaring Assistance
Are you interested in tapping your own trees to make maple syrup? We can assist you with the process of designing and constructing a productive and efficient sugaring operation. From the very first steps of laying out a bucket or tubing map, on through forest thinning, tubing installation, and evaporator choice, We can help you to start out in, and keep alive, one of New England's greatest traditions.
Perhaps you already have a sugar woods, but you don't have the time to operate it anymore. In that case, we can work with you to check lines, run the complete operation (paid either in cash or syrup), or even pay cash to lease your trees for our own operation.
Landscape Design and Installation
In addition to maintaining existing residential trees and improving forested properties, we would love to be a part of your next landscape remodel. We specialize in native, low-maintenance, and edible landscapes for owners that want to improve ecological responsibility, visual interest, and self-sufficiency on their property.
Project Portfolio
Examples of Our Work
Residential View Clearing, Dalton, NH
This was one of our first jobs after opening Millbrook Landservices. The owner had lived at this property for over ten years and originally had a spectacular view of the Presidential Range and Cherry Mountain. However, over the years, the forest had grown in and blocked this view. We felled over two acres of trees in around three days to return this view to him and his wife.
Dead Pine Removal, Starr King Church, Plymouth, NH
This project was completed for a Unitarian church in the Lakes Region. The church had installed a solar panel array in their back parking lot area. Unfortunately, a large white pine had gotten struck by lightning and was beginning to drop branches on their valuable investment. We spent a day climbing, rigging, and felling this tree to prevent future damage, and left a large, valuable log that can be milled into lumber.
Hemlock Prune, Campton, NH
We completed this job in the middle of winter for a homeowner with a valuable home on the side of a mountain. He had an impressive view of the southwestern White Mountains, but a cluster of hemlock trees blocked his view of the many spectacular sunsets over these mountains. Rather than remove the trees outright, he requested that we climb and prune them. He was somewhat surprised when we refused to use arborist spurs and climbed with ropes, alone. We never use spikes on trees, unless we plan to remove them. From a business perspective, this job did not go quite as planned. For a variety of reasons, it took far longer than we originally anticipated. However, the owner never knew this. This job is a perfect example of two of our company's main values. First, we will do everything in our power to preserve our client's trees, and always prefer alternatives to removal. Secondly, the price we give you at the start of the project is the final price. We will never come back with a higher bid in the middle of a project (unless the scope of work changes), no matter what unforeseen circumstances arise.
Affordability and Responsibility
At Millbrook Landservices, we believe in providing the most value to our clients and minimizing our impact (or even improving) the properties we serve. Most tree and landscaping companies you see have invested hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars to purchase the newest and most efficient equipment for large jobs. At Millbrook, we have a different philosophy. We refuse to incur large amounts of debt that raises our overhead and requires increasing our hourly rate to our clients. We prefer to purchase and maintain used equipment in order to keep our costs down and pass these savings on. Additionally, it is far more environmentally responsible to repair existing gear than to purchase brand new.
​
When working on any project, the condition of our client's properties is a high priority to us. We strive to leave your land in better condition than we found it. Whether this is removing large quantities of brush after a wind storm, improving aesthetics through new landscape installations or hazard tree removal, or helping you create a new small business or hobby with maple sugaring, we strive to understand the wishes of our clients fully and execute them to the best of our ability. We believe that forested properties are our state and region's most valuable asset. As such, we take pride in assisting their owners to preserve and improve them for future generations. If you think we can assist you with your land, please reach out. We look forward to working with you!
