Where we work
Southeastern Massachusetts
A service-area business, not a storefront. We come to the tree.
Towns
Towns we cover
Taken straight from our Google profile. Most have a page of their own — the tree mix and the ground underneath it are genuinely different from one town to the next.
Quincy
A coastal city on granite ledge, with dense older housing and mature street trees close to the wires.
Hingham
Big old hardwoods on historic lots, and salt exposure on everything facing the harbour.
Norwood
Neponset valley soil, wet in the low ground, with white pine drawn tall and thin between houses.
Raynham
Swampy Taunton River ground where red maple grows fast, roots shallow and fails early.
Taunton
A river city with old street trees, tight lots, and a lot of ash still standing dead.
Walpole
Heavily wooded lots where the treeline was left standing and is now leaning over the house.
Abington
Glacial till and modest lots, with white pine crowding houses that were built around it.
Brockton
A dense city of tight lots, overhead wires and mature street trees with nowhere to fall.
Pembroke
Sandy pond country, where white pine grows fast, tall and shallow-rooted.
Plymouth
The largest town in the state by area, running from coastal bluff to inland pine barrens.
Rockland
Small, close-built lots with tall pine left standing between the houses.
Weymouth
Two rivers, a long coastline, and mature hardwood on lots that were subdivided around it.
Mansfield
Wooded inland lots with white pine and red oak grown up together and now leaning apart.
Randolph
Close-set housing with mature street trees and wires on nearly every approach.
Roxbury
Boston ledge and dense triple-deckers, with street trees squeezed between wires and buildings.
Stoughton
Wooded lots on the edge of the Blue Hills country, with tall pine over close-set houses.
Barnstable County
Cape Cod: sandy barrens, pitch pine and scrub oak, and salt wind across the whole of it.
Bridgewater
Taunton River bottomland where the soil stays wet and red maple grows fast and splits.
Dorchester
Boston’s largest neighbourhood: triple-deckers, narrow yards and no room to drop anything.
Jamaica Plain
Emerald Necklace country, with unusually large and unusually varied trees on small lots.
The local mix
What actually grows here
Southeastern Massachusetts is a specific set of trees failing in a specific set of storms. Knowing which one is over your roof is most of the job.
Eastern white pine
The first tree down in a nor'easter. Shallow-rooted, holds its needles all winter so the whole crown loads with wet snow, and brittle enough that big limbs snap before the trunk does.
Red and white oak
Heavy, long-lived and usually the biggest thing on the property. The failures we see are included bark at a main fork and long limbs reaching out over a roof.
Red maple
Everywhere around here, fast-growing, and prone to co-dominant stems that split down the middle in a storm. Often the tree that is already leaning toward the driveway.
Pitch pine and scrub oak
The coastal barrens mix as you get toward the water. Smaller, tougher, and usually a clearing job rather than a removal.
