Inside Out
Westford is one of those towns where the properties are nice enough that people actually worry about their trees. The neighborhoods around Westford Center, Graniteville, and Forge Village have mature hardwoods on generous lots — and when something looks wrong with a 70-foot oak that's 20 feet from a million-dollar house, they don't call the cheapest guy in the phone book.
Nabnasset has some of the biggest residential lots in our service area, with tree canopy that creates that classic New England feel. Maintaining those trees properly — regular pruning, dead wood removal, canopy thinning — is what keeps them healthy and keeps your property value up.
Stony Brook and Nashoba Brook run through town, and the properties along those waterways have their own tree challenges. Wet-root trees that lean, bank erosion exposing root systems, and storm damage that hits harder near water.
We're 20 minutes from Westford. That's a bit farther than some of our other towns, but we've been working here for decades and we've got plenty of repeat customers who call us because they trust our work.
