Tree Pruning
in Lexington, MA
Expert tree pruning, trimming, and canopy management. Serving Lexington and the Merrimack Valley.
What We Do
Good pruning is invisible. When we're done, your tree should look like it grew that way — healthier, better structured, and not threatening to put a branch through your window during the next storm.
Lexington's mature trees need regular attention. Lexington's got historic neighborhoods with beautiful old trees on premium properties. When a 100-year-old elm starts showing signs of trouble next to a historic home, you want a crew that knows how to handle it. We do. We follow ISA standards for every cut, because bad pruning does more harm than good.
We do crown thinning, dead wood removal, crown reduction, clearance pruning, and structural work on young trees. If you're not sure what your tree needs, we'll tell you — for free.
We serve all Lexington neighborhoods including Lexington Center, East Lexington, Follen Hill, Meriam Hill and surrounding areas.

Our Work in
Lexington
Lexington projects require a level of care that matches the town. Recently we pruned a heritage oak near the Minuteman National Historical Park — 200+ years old and still going strong, just needed some deadwood out. We also removed a dying elm on Follen Hill that was threatening to come down on a 200-year-old house, ground three stumps in East Lexington for a homeowner redoing their landscape, and did emergency storm cleanup on Meriam Hill after a nor'easter brought down limbs across three properties.
What It
Costs
$200 - $1,500 — typical range for tree pruning in Lexington.
Pruning costs less than removal, and it's the best investment you can make in your trees. A few hundred dollars in pruning today can prevent a few thousand dollars in removal or property damage later.
A single tree with a few dead limbs? That's on the lower end. A full canopy thinning and crown reduction on a large oak? Higher end. The price depends on size, number of trees, height, and how much work needs to be done.
We give free estimates on-site. We'll walk your property, look at every tree, and tell you exactly what we recommend and what it'll cost. No pressure, no upsell.

FAQ
When is the best time to prune trees in Lexington?
Late winter through early spring for most species. Lexington's heritage trees benefit from regular professional assessment — catching structural problems early can save a tree that's been growing for a century.
What tree species are common in Lexington?
Sugar maples, red oaks, white oaks, and some remarkable surviving elms. The Battle Green area has heritage trees that have been documented for decades. White pines are common on the larger properties. Ash trees are declining town-wide from emerald ash borer.
How much does tree pruning cost?
Tree pruning typically ranges from $200-$1,500 depending on the size of the tree, number of trees, and the scope of work. A single tree with a few dead limbs is on the lower end. A full canopy thinning on a large oak is on the higher end. We provide free estimates.
How often should trees be pruned?
Most mature trees benefit from pruning every 3-5 years. Fruit trees and fast-growing species may need it more often. Dead, damaged, or hazardous limbs should be removed as soon as you notice them — don't wait for a schedule.
