Woburn
Inside Out
Woburn is classic Massachusetts suburban — dense neighborhoods, houses close together, and trees that were planted when the streets were dirt. The areas around Horn Pond have some of the biggest trees in town, and when one of those comes down, it's an event.
The old neighborhoods near Main Street and in Cummingsville have mature maples and oaks on lots that were drawn up before anyone thought about how big the trees would get. Taking down a 60-foot oak when the neighbor's house is 15 feet away requires planning, precision, and a crew that's done it before. We've done it thousands of times.
North Woburn and Montvale have a slightly different character — bigger lots, more space, but still plenty of tree work. The Route 128 corridor affects wind patterns, and the trees along Montvale Avenue and Washington Street take consistent wind damage.
We're 15 minutes from Woburn. Fast enough for emergencies, close enough for routine work. We've been working here for decades.

FAQ
How much does tree removal cost in Woburn?
Tree removal in Woburn typically costs $300-$500 for small trees and $1,000-$3,000+ for large trees. Tight lots may affect pricing. Call (978) 375-2272 for a free estimate.
Can you remove trees on tight Woburn lots?
Yes. Woburn's got a lot of close-together homes. We have the equipment and experience to safely remove trees in tight spaces — it's one of our specialties.
How fast can you get to Woburn for an emergency?
About 15 minutes from our base. For emergencies, call (978) 375-2272 — we're available 24/7 and usually on-site within the hour.
Do you serve all of Woburn?
Yes — Woburn Center, North Woburn, East Woburn, Cummingsville, Montvale, and everywhere in between.
How much does stump grinding cost in Woburn?
Stump grinding in Woburn runs $150-$300 per stump. In tighter yards, we use our compact grinder to get into spots where the big machine won't fit. Multiple stumps get a package rate.
When is the best time to prune trees in Woburn?
Late winter for most trees. In Woburn, with houses so close together, we also recommend fall inspections — catching a dead limb before winter storms can save you a broken window or a dented car.
What tree species are common in Woburn?
Sugar maples and red oaks are the big ones in Woburn's older neighborhoods. Horn Pond has gorgeous willows and oaks. Norway maples are everywhere along the streets — they were planted as shade trees decades ago and now they're massive.
Do you offer crane-assisted tree removal in Woburn?
Yes. In Woburn's tight neighborhoods, crane removal is often the safest and most efficient approach. We lift the pieces straight up and out instead of rigging them down between houses. We've done crane work throughout Woburn.
Do you chip and remove all debris in Woburn?
Yes. Everything goes. In Woburn's tight yards, that sometimes means carrying pieces out through a side yard. We do whatever it takes to leave the property clean and undamaged.
