Tree Pruning
in Massachusetts
Expert tree pruning, trimming, and canopy management. Serving 13 towns across Middlesex County — from Billerica to Lexington, Lowell to Woburn.
What We Do
Most people don't think about tree pruning until a branch cracks off during a thunderstorm and dents their car. By then you're paying for pruning and a body shop. We'd rather catch it early.
Proper pruning keeps your trees healthy, keeps branches away from your roof and power lines, and honestly just makes your property look better. We follow ISA standards on every cut — no topping, no lion-tailing, no hack jobs. We've seen what bad pruning does to a tree, and we don't do that.
We serve 13 towns across Middlesex County, from the mature oaks lining the streets of Lexington to the towering pines in Carlisle to the old sugar maples in Chelmsford. Each species prunes differently, each season matters, and knowing the difference is what separates a professional from a guy with a pole saw.
Our pruning services include crown thinning, dead wood removal, crown reduction, clearance pruning, and structural work on young trees. If you're not sure what your trees need, call us. We'll walk your property and tell you — for free. No sales pitch, just honest advice from people who've been doing this their whole careers.

What It
Costs
$200 - $1,500 — typical range for tree pruning in our service area.
Pruning is one of the best investments you can make in your property. A few hundred dollars in preventive pruning today saves thousands in emergency removal or property damage down the road.
What determines the cost? The size and number of trees, how much work needs to be done, and how accessible they are. A single tree with some dead limbs is on the lower end. A full crown reduction and thinning on a large shade tree is on the higher end. Multiple trees get better per-tree pricing.
We provide free estimates anywhere in our Middlesex County service area. We'll walk your property, look at every tree, tell you what actually needs work and what can wait. No pressure, no upselling, just honest advice and a fair price.

FAQ
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.
When is the best time to prune trees?
Late winter to early spring is ideal for most species — the tree is dormant, you can see the structure clearly, and it heals fastest. But dead wood and hazardous limbs get removed year-round. If a branch is threatening your roof, call us today.
Will pruning damage my tree?
Not when it's done right. We follow ISA (International Society of Arboriculture) standards. Proper pruning improves tree health, structure, and longevity. Bad pruning — topping, lion-tailing — damages trees. We don't do that.
