Hire us for professional tree care services in North Haven & Hamden, CT
At Stumpbuster LLC, we do more than just remove trees—we help you preserve them. Our licensed arborist-led team offers professional trimming and pruning services designed to extend the life of your trees, reduce hazards, and enhance your property’s appearance. From North Haven to Guilford, we’re trusted throughout New Haven County for responsible, science-backed tree care.
Not all tree services follow true arboricultural standards. Here’s what sets us apart:
We Follow the Biology: Our pruning methods are based on tree biology and proper healing practices.
We Don’t Top Trees: Topping can kill a tree or make it structurally unstable—we never do it.
We Preserve the Canopy: We avoid removing more than 25% of the leafy crown to maintain tree health.
We Thin from Top to Bottom: Our approach improves light penetration and airflow while preserving structure.
We Prune for the Future: Every cut is made with future growth and long-term stability in mind.
A tree is nature’s perfect solar collection system. The leaves are like solar panels that convert sunlight and carbon dioxide to sugars and starches that provide the energy needed to power the tree. When trimming, it’s important to leave enough leafy growth on the tree so that there is sufficient sap flow to heal the pruning cuts. The sap that flows out of the cuts will chemically change into a decay-resistant compound that allows the tree to compartmentalize the wound and form a coating to completely stop the rot from reaching the core of the tree.
In most cases, it’s not a good idea to remove more than 25% of the leafy growth of a tree at one time. However, most customers can’t afford yearly maintenance, and they want as much done as possible when we are working.
Our local tree company has been proudly serving North Haven & Hamden, CT since 1986. In that time, we’ve seen and handled a multitude of tree problems. We pride ourselves on offering our community a higher grade of tree services than our competitors do.
