Recent Tree Service Reviews in Boston
- McDonough Tree Removal IncShaun gave us an estimate to remove 3 maples, a black cherry tree and grind one stump in our backyard. One of the trees was close to a smaller maple, which we wanted to keep and there was no damage to it after the tree removal. Shaun set up the crane on the street in front of our house. Eric and Dave drove up with the chipper equipment. Shaun and Eric worked on the tree cutting and lifted the trees right over our house, letting them down in a side street. Dave fed the large tree chunks right into the chipper. The whole operation was done in about 2 hours. They cleaned up perfectly and you could hardly tell they were here except for some sawdust. Less than 2 weeks later a truck pulled up with two guys who proceeded to grind the one stump. They also did a wonderful job. Everyone did a great job and we were very satisfied. We will hire McDonough again if we need more trees removed. We will also recommend them to all our neighbors
- Kucharski Tree Care, LLCIt went great. They were thorough, polite, and they cleaned everything up. They were all fantastic
- Boston's Landscaping and Lawn SpecialistsVery professional -work involved taking down 2 trees - cleanup was very thorough - crew polite and hard working- would definitely have them again. Thanks Henry
- McDonough Tree Removal IncThey did a great job, arrived exactly when they said they would, and charged a fair price. I have used their service often over the years to remove fallen trees and debris, sometime requesting that the wood be sawed into fireplace lengths. I have always been impressed with, not only their work, but also their great communication - always getting right back to me, whenever I had any issue or a concern. I heartily recommend this service
- H&H Landscape ManagementIt went great from the quote to the actual removal. They were responsive, great about getting the paperwork to me, easy to schedule and the final product was exactly what I was looking for. The cost was as expected as well
- Kucharski Tree Care, LLCOutstanding service - on time, thorough, and clean - they truly cared about our property ! Would absolutely use Kucharski’s services again - HIGHLY recommend.
- Collins Tree Service IncCollins Tree Service has completed 3 different tree service contracts for us over the past year+. Each of the crews on the different days were consistently excellent, highly skilled, friendly, and polite. They also took great care to avoid damage to the landscaping as much as possible.
- McKinney Brothers Tree ServicesGreat! I wasn't there when the work was conducted, but based on calls with kirk, I trusted him. And it paid off! I had my tree pruned for service electric line to my house. didn't want a crecent carved out of my tree. MB did a great job pruning the tree and keeping the trees shape. will hire them again to thin out the tree in the winte
- G & P Landscape & ConstructionWe worked with G&P over during two separate phases of a yard renovation project upon moving into our home; phase 1 in the fall of 2021 and phase 2 in the spring of 2022. We had roughly 30 trees of various sizes removed, including heavy ground brush to create a back yard & expand the sides of our yard. They brought in a great deal tailings, fine fill, and loam to level out and grade the new yard space. There were half a dozen very large pines / oaks / maples in our front that were also removed, along with overgrown original landscaping. All around the perimeter of the house were overgrown shrubs as well that they removed. We had a small paver patio put in for a space for our grill. There were a few downspouts that we had where we didn't want the water runoff flowing into the yard / mulch beds around the house, so they installed a few drywells and piped directly from the downspout to the wells. G&P not only expand our yard but essentially "reset" it for us. It was a tremendous amount of work, they were always there early in the morning and worked tirelessly to the end of the day. When we had questions or wanted to go over details they would often come out in person that same day to discuss. Overall we're very pleased, the hydroseed is coming in nicely and in a few more weeks we should have a fresh new lawn to enjoy. I wouldn't hesitate with using G&P again, they're practically a one-stop shop for everything you'd need, highly recommend
- J.A.E Tree ServiceThe workers did a very good job trimming our large Morraine Locust tree that had branches very close to our electric wires. It wasn't an easy job! They also trimmed smaller bushes in our yard. Limbs and leaves were well cleaned up. Good job!

"Perfect job. It wast fast, clean, and very professional.

A perfect team work. I highly recommend them. They know what they are doing.
Boston Tree Preservation, a full service proactive tree company, is committed to an organic approach to caring for the entire landscape trees, shrubs, lawn and soil in order to protect and preserve the urban forest for present and future generations.

"I can honestly say that it has been rare for me to receive such excellent customer service and high quality of work. My experience began with Maria in the office who understood my sense of urgency due to the need to get the injections done before it became too cold as well as my difficult work schedule. She immediately connected me with the General Manger, Joe Alongi who was wonderful. He:
<br /> · worked with me to schedule the injections at my convenience;
<br /> · comprehensively explained my options to me, in order to ensure I had the most cost effective option (this is a
<br /> difficult financial time for us); and
<br /> · telephoned personally to confirm two days before the appointment.
<br /> The work was done by a talented and knowledgeable man, Jason Minaker. Jason was careful and thorough. He took the time to thoughtfully answer all of my questions. I had a lot of questions because I found the whole system of tree injection to be so interesting. Not to mention, that my neighbors were appreciative not to have spray in their backyards.
<br /> Jason, also, made some great suggestions for some tree pruning which I plan to do (with Boston tree preservation) this winter.
<br /> Last, I wanted to speak with with the owner of Boston Tree Preservation, Peter Wild. Coincidentally, it turns out that Peter Wild is also the inventor of the Arborjet products. I was surprised by this because I had done some earlier research around products available for injection and had called Arborjet with questions about their products. After talking with them, I decided that the arborist I chose would have to use Arborjet products on my trees. I had no idea they were sister companies. Peter was a delight to speak with about my experience. He has a heartfelt commitment to preserving trees in the best way possible.
<br /> So, in summary to all my fellow Angie List Members, if you care about your trees, this tree team is the best!!!!!!

"Dalton and crew did a fantastic job removing several pine trees from my yard. They also trimmed a very large tree outside in my patio. Dalton explained, by doing it so would allow my light and more air to flow, and that’s exactly wha happened. I was very happy with the results and professionalism that I received from D&L Tree Services. I would recommend them with out any hesitation.
We are a small, owner operated company that can do the big jobs without the big name. We focus on a more personal service and customer care.
"We had several very large pine trees knocked down and damaged from a severe thunderstorm and winds, and needed them removed quickly since some were still partially held up and could have fallen on our back fence. Any of the trees would have hit our house and done a lot of damage if they fell in that direction. We contacted a few tree removal companies, and Tim came out the next day to look at the situation and was able to fit us into his schedule within a few days to do the work. We picked Neufell Tree & Landscape out of the other tree removal companies because Tim had the best plan for how to remove the fallen/broken trees and a few others that were a danger of falling in the future, and at a reasonable price. We're glad we did because they did an excellent job. The crew worked hard, was pretty quick for the amount of tree removal work they did, and was able to precisely take down the large pine trees in the directions where they wanted to, without any falling near our house or fence (which was a concern of ours with at least one very large broken tree trunk suspended over our fence after the storm). Tim was great to discuss the project and future potential landscaping projects with. At least 3 of our neighbors hired them later to remove storm damaged and other trees on their properties, and were happy with the work as well. We plan to hire them again for any future tree projects as well as other landscaping.

Barrett Tree Service East, Inc.
Super Service AwardWe are a full service tree care company accredited by the Tree Care Industry Association for adherence to ethical business practices and provision of quality services.
"The Barrett Tree Team is professional, knowledgeable and responds quickly. Following an early snowstorm, a number of branches on multiple trees cracked (but did not cleanly break), so I called Barrett to see if they could come to cut/remove the broken branches so they were no longer blocking the sidewalk and street. They came within in a few hours and cut away the cracked and broken branches and hauled them away. I also use Barrett for seasonal pruning and advice on existing trees. I highly recommend them.

Tree Service FAQ
-
How much does it cost to remove a tree?
Answer: Typically, tree removal costs between $200 and $2,000. Tree removal costs vary widely based on the number of trees being removed, the height of each tree, the diameter of each tree trunk, and accessibility to the tree. Smaller trees are usually less expensive to remove than larger ones, as are those that are more easily accessible.
-
Do you need a permit to cut down a tree?
Answer: In many areas, you don’t need a permit to cut down a tree on your own private, residential property. But some municipalities may require tree removal permits for conservation purposes or to comply with local ordinances. When you hire a tree removal pro, they’ll be able to tell you whether you need a permit for your specific tree removal project.
-
When is a good time to trim trees?
Answer: In most regions, the best time to trim your trees is during the winter months. During the active growing season (spring through fall), trimming your trees can leave them more vulnerable to disease and less likely to thrive. During the winter months, when trees are dormant, trimming them will cause less stress and leave them ready to grow again in the spring.
-
What is the average cost to cut a tree down?
Answer: Tree removal costs between $200 and $2,000 per tree. Establishing an average cost can be difficult because each tree will be assessed and priced based on factors like height, trunk diameter, and accessibility. In general, smaller trees cost less to remove than larger trees, as do trees that are more accessible.
-
How much does it cost to service a tree?
Answer: The cost to service a tree is typically between $430 and $1,320. The cost to service a tree depends on several factors, including what exactly you’d like done, the tree’s height, its health, the location of the tree, and local labor costs. The national average cost for tree services is $865. Tree trimming isn’t necessary for all trees but can improve their health and longevity by encouraging new growth.
-
What is the difference between tree trimming and pruning?
Answer: While tree trimming and tree pruning might appear similar to the untrained eye, they serve different purposes. Tree pruning is used to thin a tree by removing unnecessary or burdensome branches. Tree trimming promotes healthy growth by trimming but not removing branches.
