Billerica is our home base. We know every street, every neighborhood, every massive oak that's been growing since before the town had electricity. When a nor'easter rolls through and half the trees on Boston Road are sideways, we're already loading the truck.

Our Service
Areas
Chelmsford has big lots, bigger trees, and a few of those trees have started filing complaints about your gutters. The older neighborhoods near the center grew up around oaks and maples that are 80+ years old and finally starting to act their age. We have been taking the worst of them down safely since 1995.
Lowell is a city with tight lots and big old trees jammed between triple-deckers. Getting a 70-foot maple out of a backyard with 6 feet of clearance on each side? That's our kind of challenge.
Tewksbury's got a mix of old-growth neighborhoods and newer developments. The older areas near the center have massive pines and oaks that drop limbs like clockwork every winter. We keep them in check.
Wilmington's got great suburban neighborhoods with mature trees that need regular maintenance. When a big storm hits off Route 93, we're one of the first calls people make.
Burlington's commercial and residential areas both keep us busy. From the neighborhoods around Mary Cummings Park to the properties along Middlesex Turnpike, we handle tree work across the whole town.
Bedford is big lots, old money, and older trees. The sugar maples along the Minuteman Bikeway and the oaks out by Hanscom are the kind of trees people buy the house for — right up until one drops a limb on the garage. That's usually when we get the call.
Carlisle is all big lots, winding roads, and woods. The trees out here are massive — 100-foot pines, ancient oaks. When one comes down in a storm, it's a serious job. Good thing we've been doing this for decades.
Dracut's got dense residential neighborhoods and some seriously wooded areas out by the state forest. We handle everything from tight backyard removals to clearing overgrown lots along the Merrimack.
Westford's upscale neighborhoods have beautiful mature trees on big properties. When one starts leaning toward a $800K house, people want someone who knows what they're doing. That's us.
Andover's got stately homes, historic properties, and serious trees. The neighborhoods around Phillips Academy and Indian Ridge have some of the biggest trees in the Merrimack Valley. We treat them with respect — and take them down safely when it's time.
Woburn's got a dense mix of residential neighborhoods and commercial areas. The old neighborhoods near Horn Pond and along Main Street have big trees on small lots — exactly the kind of job where experience matters.
Lexington has historic neighborhoods, premium properties, and trees that have been here longer than the country has. When a 100-year-old elm starts looking sideways next to a colonial older than the Constitution, you want a crew that knows the difference between a removal and a $400 prune. That is the job.
Concord is one of those towns where people genuinely care about their trees. Between the conservation land, the historic district, and the strict tree bylaws, every removal here requires thought. We've been doing careful tree work in Concord since 1995 — the kind of work this town expects.
Lincoln is mostly conservation land and big estate properties with mature tree canopies that need real attention. It's a quiet town, but when a 90-foot white pine comes down on a driveway out here, it's a big job in a remote spot.
Winchester's got beautiful streets lined with mature trees, but the lots are tight and the trees are big. When a 70-foot oak needs to come down between two houses with 15 feet of clearance, that's the kind of job we've been handling for 30 years.
Acton is growing fast but the trees were here first. Big white pine stands along Nashoba Brook, mature oaks in the older neighborhoods, and a town arboretum that tells you Acton cares about its trees. We've been working here since the 90s.
Waltham is dense, diverse, and full of big old trees crammed onto small lots. The Charles River corridor, the university campuses, and the old mill neighborhoods all have different tree challenges. We've been sorting them out since 1995.
Sudbury is the western edge of where we work, and it's worth the drive. Big wooded lots, old white pines and oaks, a town that takes its conservation land and its scenic roads seriously. We're about 30 minutes out in Billerica, but we already run jobs in Concord and Lincoln right next door — so the truck is usually headed that way anyway.
Framingham is the biggest community in MetroWest, and it's the southern edge of where we work. We're about 35 minutes south of our Billerica shop, so we won't pretend we're the corner outfit — there's a deep field of tree companies right in Framingham. Where we earn the drive is the big, technical work: tall white pines in Saxonville, storm jobs near the Sudbury River, and removals that need a Conservation Commission permit.
Wayland sits right against Sudbury's eastern line, and it's the same kind of town — wooded, conservation-minded, and full of homeowners who care about their trees. We're about 30 minutes out in Billerica, but we already run jobs in neighboring Sudbury, Lincoln, and Concord, so the truck is usually headed that way. The trees here are big oaks and white pines, and the Sudbury River and Lake Cochituate bring wetland rules into most jobs near the water.
Maynard is a compact old mill town right on Sudbury's northwestern line, and the tighter lots make it a more technical place to work than the open towns around it. We're about 30 minutes from our Billerica shop, and we already run jobs in neighboring Sudbury, Acton, and Concord, so we're out that way regularly. The Assabet River runs through town, which brings wetland rules into a lot of the jobs near the water.
Natick sits at the Mass Pike and I-95 crossroads, which means everybody drives through it but the tree canopy tells a different story. Older neighborhoods have mature oaks and maples that were planted when South Natick was still farmland. We're about 35 minutes from our Billerica shop, and we already run jobs in Framingham and Wayland next door — so the truck is usually headed that direction anyway.
Wellesley has a tree bylaw with teeth, a Tree City USA designation longer than any other community in New England, and some of the most valuable heritage oaks and beeches in Norfolk County. Section XVIE applies to most renovations in town, the Tree Bank fee schedule is tiered, and we have read the bylaw enough times to know it cold. The drive from Billerica is forty minutes. We are happy to make it.
