The type and scope of tree work will dictate how long the job takes. For example, pruning many large trees on your property may require multiple days, while a simple tree removal can usually be completed in less than one day. We’ll give you an estimated timeline for any work included in a proposal.
Yes, we have a Grove 60-ton crane that’s specifically designed for tree work. We do not need to subcontract a crane for your job, making it easier for us to schedule your work in a timely manner.
In many cases we can remove trees that have electrical wires passing through the canopy. However, depending which wires they, it may need to be done by the utility. When we meet to review the job, we can point you in the right direction if it is not something safe for us to do.
We will not be able to do your unscheduled job while we are nearby, but we’d love to set something up. Please call us at 781-871-8008 to schedule.
Typically, it’s not necessary to obtain a permit to remove a tree in Plymouth or Norfolk Counties. However, if the tree is located near wetlands, you will need to contact the conservation department at your local town hall to gain permission to remove the tree. But don’t worry, we'll guide you every step of the way in determining if the tree is located near wetlands and with obtaining permission.
Yes, we can! We use a powerful stump grinder to get rid of tree stumps.
