A very large old red maple close to power lines: a recent customer says Galen presented a fair price to remove it, clean up included, and that the crew showed up exactly on time and cleaned up the entire area. The company's website names Vinalhaven and Vassalboro as its service area and says it has been in business for 4 years. A local news site, townline.org, has written about Symmetree's tree work. In a 2025 review, a customer said the company took a huge maple down on a property on Vinalhaven without touching two adjacent barns and an old apple tree. A 2025 customer described a project taking down about a dozen large white pines on a slope near a cottage and power lines; that customer said the project unfolded with some surprises, and that Galen and company honored their contract pricing. A 2025 customer wrote that Galen and his assistant, Ashton, trimmed battered trees along a shoreline on a tricky slope at their camp, with attention to preventing erosion. A 2023 review from a condo association said Symmetree handled the urgent removal of a large tree that fell on one of its condo units during a storm. A 2022 customer said Galen cleared an area filled with brambles and trees into a wide path and filled the path with the chipped wood. A 2023 customer said one job came in under estimate.
“Symmetree Arborist, of Vassalboro, had finished contracted tree work in Union Cemetery, and the town public works crew had taken away most of the logs left behind. Committee member David Jenney had watched some of Symmetree’s work and approved.”
Galen and crew were awesome! We had a very large old red maple on our property which was close to power lines. Galen presented a fair price to remove it which included clean up. The crew showed up exactly on time, were polite, friendly and very efficient. They cleaned up the entire area, leaving it pristine!
Great work. Very accommodating. They even brought my dog back to the house when she got out!
These efficient guys took a huge maple down on my property on Vinalhaven without touching two adjacent barns and an old apple tree. They came when they said they would, were polite, left a clean work site and the price was realistic. Highly recommended.
We went with Symmetree for a large tree removal project involving taking down about a dozen large white pines, on a slope, very very near the cottage and power lines. It was going to be tricky. We had several other proposals for the project, prices were pretty similar but we went with Galen because his approach was thorough and knowledgeable and he offered ideas and insights about how to approach certain situations. The project unfolded with some surprises but the communication with us was excellent and that was much appreciated. In the end the project was very well done and Galen and company honored their contract pricing and commitment to excellence. My neighbor had highly recommended this company and given my experience I am happy to do the same.
