About Herz Tree Service

Owner, Greg Herz, is a second generation tree service provider.  As a young person, Greg learned the tree service business from his father and grew up doing tree work in New York.  He worked for large and arborist companies both in and out of the state of Maine. Greg is very community oriented and volunteers his time. Some examples of his volunteer efforts are a family shelter, Sunkhaze Wildlife Refuge, projects for local fire department and assisting the post office with their flag. Prior to settling in Winterport they traveled some while Greg served in the Army. He was stationed in the Washington DC area and Germany. His military service provided him with the opportunity to achieve the rank of Sergeant and enabled him to serve in a leadership position.

 Co-owner Kim Herz handles the behind the scenes things such as scheduling, communication with customers, and contract management.  However, she has been known to assist with chipping, traffic control and piling brush. When she is not working with Herz Tree Service she volunteers with community organizations and has a Master’s degree in Social Work.

In the 1970’s he broadened his focus and worked primarily in the logging industry for approximately 25 years.  Beginning in the late 1990’s, he served as a board member, trainer and field inspector for the Certified Logging Professional program. The time spent logging allowed him to build lasting working relationships with professionals in the logging industry.  This has carried forth into the arborist field as he continues to work closely with foresters and code enforcement officials to help customers realize individual goals for their property.

In 2008 Greg focused his attention on providing careful conscientious arborist services. Greg is the person that will estimate your job as well as execute your request. He has earned a reputation for having high standards, ethics and principals. He prides himself in providing superior clean-up of jobsites.  Herz Tree Services is insured up to 2 million and carries worker compensation insurance on all employees.  As a company we are very safety oriented, hold safety briefings at the start of every job and have monthly company safety trainings.  We have a no smoking policy on jobsites as well.
