The brief

Tree work in Maine is often urgent: a nor’easter or ice storm puts a limb through a roof and the homeowner needs help fast. The site is built around that moment, with a storm alert at the top of the homepage that leads to an emergency checklist, while eight guides, from costs and cutting rules to pests, answer the slower questions.

What I built

  • Homepage plus six service pages: tree removal, emergency storm damage, trimming and pruning, stump grinding, land and lot clearing, and arborist services
  • Homeowner guides, eight in all, on storm cleanup, removal costs, neighbor tree disputes, warning signs, local cutting rules, ice storms, browntail moth and emerald ash borer
  • Storm damage alert strip on the homepage that leads to an emergency page with a five-step checklist for when a tree hits a house
  • Design system in pine green and chainsaw orange, with Archivo display type, a saw-cut hero edge and a tree-ring texture that adds no image weight
  • Arborist page that explains Maine’s arborist licensing law and shows homeowners how to check a crew against the state license list
  • Land clearing page that covers Maine’s 250-foot shoreland zoning rules before anyone cuts near the water
  • Structured data on every page type: business details covering 12 towns, FAQ markup on the homepage and service pages, article markup on guides, plus breadcrumbs
  • Sitemap dates checked before every build, and a mobile-first layout with a fixed call bar and no scripts of its own
