“What a transformation… thanks to the Les Arbres team for your vision and execution of our new plantings. The mission was to replace 25 years of mature trees that we learned were not the right species to hold up to our tough New England weather. The entrance to our home was compromised, but now — WOW, what a change! The new Sweartia’s were strategically placed to create a natural look on the driveway. The new tree placed near the house made it all come together. Thank you for taking the time to create a vision and plan to find the right trees and placement to bring it all together.”
“It was a pleasure working with Les and the Les Arbres team. His attention to detail made our vision a reality. His creativity brought new and surprising additions to the project as we went along.
There was nothing lost in translation and the project brings us so much happiness. We highly recommend Les Arbes for any outdoor project.”

“Les Arbres took over a community service project for us, working on our Adopt-a-Spot garden and clearing dangerous limbs from our shelter. They were creative, professional and generous with their time and talents.
Our Adopt-a-Spot went quickly from bland to a garden that our entire community can admire and be proud of. Les Arbres continues to come back and maintain the garden and surrounding trees.
The thought and care that has gone into this project is much appreciated by all of us!”

A Tree is a Recycling Machine
When a tree is healthy, all parts of the tree — the roots, stem and leaves — function at optimal efficiency.
If any part of this triad is impaired, a tree may show signs of distress or decline. Les Arbres’ arborists identify the underlying causes of distress and take steps to insure that the tree is functioning at maximum efficiency.
The arborists and tree care experts at Les Arbres aim to respect both the functional and aesthetic value of each tree, shrub and herbaceous plant we care for. We are experts with decades of practical experience as certified arborists and horticulturalists.
Beneath our technical and scientific work lies an artist’s deep abiding love of trees and plants. We combine experienced tree service, garden design and landscape design with extensive scientific knowledge. We create specific designs and long-term care plans for each property entrusted to our care.
Email us and we will contact you to set up a free property inspection and consultation.
Les Arbres has a long-standing association with major industry and accreditation groups in the fields of arboriculture and property care. We have been inspected and accredited for work that meets or exceeds the highest industry standards in professionalism, safety, maintenance and quality in our business practices.
