  • Why is it important to have Massachusetts Certified Arborists on staff? 

    MA Certified Arborists have verified training to evaluate your trees according to the highest industry standards. Clients receive quality advice on how to handle trees on their properties. While some companies have only one or more often no MA Certified Arborists on staff, we have three. This ensures the highest quality work from our client’s first contact with us, to their free consultation, to the completion of the work.

  • Why is it important to have a grapplesaw telehandler crane? Don’t cranes make things more expensive?

    There is a misconception that companies with newer, more advanced equipment are more costly to the client. On the contrary, our equipment is so efficient that it often allows us to offer better prices on tree removal projects than our competitors can, and promptly.

  • Why is it important to have a bucket truck, backyard lift, and tree climbers? 

    We have everything we need in our toolbox to solve our client’s problems in the safest, most efficient, and cost-effective way possible. Front yard, backyard, no access- it’s not a problem for us. We have the right equipment to safely remove or prune any tree.
