Inside Out
Tewksbury is one of our busiest towns. The older neighborhoods near the center and around Livingston Street have tall white pines and oaks that have been growing for generations. The newer developments off Route 38 were carved out of woodlands, and those remaining trees get stressed when the forest around them disappears.
The Long Pond area and Silver Lake neighborhoods have a lot of waterfront and near-water properties where root systems get saturated. Saturated roots mean unstable trees, especially the big pines. After a heavy rain followed by wind, we're guaranteed to get calls from Tewksbury.
We also do a lot of work around the old Tewksbury State Hospital grounds where the trees are massive and have been untended for years. Some of those oaks are genuinely impressive — until they start leaning toward your house.
We're 10 minutes from Tewksbury. Close enough that we're usually the first crew available when something comes down.

Tree removal in Tewksbury ranges from $300-$500 for small trees to $1,000-$3,000+ for large ones. Pruning starts lower. Call (978) 375-2272 for a free estimate.
How fast can you respond to emergencies in Tewksbury?
We're about 10 minutes from Tewksbury. For emergencies, we can typically be on-site within the hour. Call (978) 375-2272 anytime — we're available 24/7.
Do you remove pine trees in Tewksbury?
Yes. Tewksbury has a lot of tall white pines that lean toward houses, especially after storms. We remove them safely — it's one of our most common jobs in town.
What areas in Tewksbury do you cover?
All of Tewksbury — the center, North and South Tewksbury, Silver Lake, Wamesit, and everywhere in between.
How much does stump grinding cost in Tewksbury?
Stump grinding in Tewksbury typically costs $150-$300 per stump. Pine stumps are usually on the easier side since the wood is softer. If we just took down the tree, we'll often grind the stump the same day for a bundled price.
When is the best time to prune trees in Tewksbury?
Late winter is best for most trees. For pines, late spring through early summer works well. But if a limb is hanging over your roof or leaning on a power line, don't wait for the right season — call us now.
What tree species are most common in Tewksbury?
White pines are everywhere in Tewksbury — they grow fast and get tall. You'll also see a lot of red oaks, white oaks, and some big old sugar maples near the center. The ash trees have been hit hard by emerald ash borer in recent years.
Do you offer crane-assisted tree removal in Tewksbury?
Yes. When a tall pine is too close to a house for conventional rigging, we bring in a crane. We've done crane work all over Tewksbury, especially in the neighborhoods off Whipple Road and near Long Pond.
Do you chip and remove all debris in Tewksbury?
Yes, everything goes. We chip the branches, haul the trunk wood, rake up the sawdust, and leave your yard clean. If you want us to leave the firewood, just let us know.
