Inside Out
Dracut sits north of Lowell along the Merrimack River, and it's got a real mix of work for us. The dense neighborhoods in Dracut Center and Collinsville have houses close together with trees that have outgrown their lots. The wooded areas out near Dracut State Forest are the opposite — big lots with a hundred trees and no one's touched them in decades.
The Merrimack River properties are their own challenge. Trees along the river get saturated roots, and when a storm brings wind on top of wet soil, they go over. We've pulled trees out of backyards on Merrimack Avenue more times than we can count.
Lakeview and the Navy Yard area have a good mix of residential tree work — removals, pruning, stump grinding. Pretty standard stuff, but it keeps us coming back every week.
We're 20 minutes from Dracut, which is a bit farther than our closer towns, but we've been working here for decades and we know the area well. Plenty of our regulars are in Dracut.

Do you work near the Merrimack River in Dracut?
Yes. We handle tree work along the Merrimack and in flood-prone areas. When permits are needed for riverside work, we help you navigate the process.
How fast can you get to Dracut?

Do you clear lots in Dracut for new construction?
Yes. We clear lots, remove stumps, and prep sites for construction. We've done plenty of lot clearing work across Dracut.
How much does stump grinding cost in Dracut?
Stump grinding in Dracut runs $150-$300 per stump. For lot clearing jobs with multiple stumps, we do volume pricing. Call (978) 375-2272 for a free estimate.
When is the best time to prune trees in Dracut?
Late winter for most trees. But Dracut's riverfront properties often have emergency pruning needs year-round — limbs weakened by storm damage or saturated soil don't follow a schedule.
What tree species are common in Dracut?
Silver maples and cottonwoods along the Merrimack, red oaks and white pines in the neighborhoods and near the state forest. The older residential areas have big sugar maples and some impressive elms that survived Dutch elm disease.
Do you offer crane-assisted tree removal in Dracut?
Yes. In Dracut's tighter neighborhoods, crane removal is sometimes the only safe option. We've also used cranes for large trees along the Merrimack where the ground is too soft for heavy equipment.
Do you chip and remove all debris in Dracut?
Yes. Everything gets hauled out — wood, branches, chips. We leave the property clean. If it's a lot clearing job, we can also handle brush disposal and site grading coordination.
