Tree Removal
in Lexington, MA
Professional tree removal for hazardous, dead, storm-damaged, and unwanted trees. Serving Lexington and the Merrimack Valley.
What We Do
We remove trees. That's the short version. The longer version involves chainsaws, rigging ropes, cranes when needed, and decades of knowing exactly where a tree is going to fall before we make the first cut.
In Lexington, we handle everything from small ornamental trees to massive 80-foot oaks pressed up against houses. 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.
Every removal starts with an honest assessment. We'll tell you if the tree actually needs to come down — sometimes pruning is enough. But when it's time, we get it done safely, cleanly, and without drama.
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
$300 - $3,000+ — typical range for tree removal in Lexington.
Here's the honest answer: it depends. A small tree in an open yard is a few hundred bucks. A 70-foot oak wedged between your house and your neighbor's garage with power lines overhead? That's a bigger number.
What affects the cost? Size is the biggest factor. Then access — can we get our equipment close, or are we carrying everything through a side yard? Species matters too. Hardwoods are heavier and take longer to cut. Location near structures or power lines adds complexity.
We don't do bait-and-switch pricing. The number we give you at the estimate is the number on the invoice. No surprises, no add-ons. If something changes during the job, we talk to you first.
