Broad Oak Tree & Shrub Care, Inc.

Broad Oak Tree & Shrub Care has been working on trees around Peterborough since 1990, by the company's own account. Dan Tremblay runs it as president, Marilyn Tremblay is office manager and co-owner, and George Koster leads the crew; the Better Business Bureau lists a second location in Milford, and the company names Peterborough, Hancock and Dublin among the towns it serves. The Better Business Bureau profile spells out the work: pruning, removals, cabling and bracing, soil amendments, fertilization, and insect and disease control. That is arborist work rather than landscaping, and the credentials the company puts on its own site match it — Dan Tremblay is listed as an ISA Certified Arborist (NE-0165A) and as NH pesticide applicator NHPC-268, with a Certified Treecare Safety Professional number and memberships in the International Society of Arboriculture, the New Hampshire Arborists Association and the Massachusetts Arborists Association. The Better Business Bureau grades the company A+. On Google, a 2021 reviewer called them super helpful and knowledgeable. One thing to raise before the crew arrives: OSHA's online violation records carry an entry for Broad Oak Tree & Shrub Care, Inc. carrying the date 11/27/2023. Ask the office what it concerned and how the crew works now. For a mature tree that needs a careful hand — pruning, cabling, or a health problem rather than a quick takedown — Broad Oak is a reasonable call. Confirm the arborist credential and the pesticide licence directly with the state, ask for the insurance certificate, and get the scope of the pruning in writing before anyone climbs.
