Burlington
Inside Out
Burlington's got a unique mix of big commercial properties along Middlesex Turnpike and classic New England residential streets. The neighborhoods around Mary Cummings Park have beautiful old-growth trees, and the residential areas off Cambridge Street and Bedford Street are lined with maples that turn the whole town orange in October.
We do a lot of commercial work in Burlington — office parks, shopping centers, HOA properties. Property managers call us because we show up when we say we will, we're insured, and we don't leave a mess. That's apparently rare in this business.
The residential side keeps us just as busy. South Burlington's older homes have mature trees on relatively small lots. When a big oak starts leaning toward a neighbor's house, it becomes a property-line situation that needs handling fast.
We're 12 minutes from Burlington. For a town with this much tree canopy, having a crew that close is worth something.
