“Had Boston Tree Service come out and assess the health of three big oaks in my backyard. The arborist spent a solid 45 minutes looking at each tree, explaining what he saw, and giving me a detailed report on pruning vs. removal. Really appreciated the honest advice, he didn't try to upsell me on anything I didn't need.”
Arborist Consultation
“My overgrown hedges were completely out of control after a crazy summer. These guys shaped them up beautifully in just one afternoon, clean lines, no mess left behind. Neighbors actually commented on how good they look now.”
Hedge Trimming & Shrub Care
“Called them out because I wasn't sure if my old maple was worth saving or if it needed to come down. The consultation was thorough and fair, they didn't push removal, which I really respected. Ended up doing targeted pruning instead, and the tree looks great.”
Arborist Consultation
“Needed to remove two dead trees and clear out the brush underneath. Boston Tree Service knocked it out in a day, removed the trees, ground the stumps, and left the yard totally clean. I was amazed how quickly they worked without tearing up my lawn.”
Tree Removal & Land Clearing
“That huge diseased elm in my front yard was finally too risky to keep. The crew was professional, careful, and removed it without a scratch on my house or fence. They even hauled everything away the same day.”
Tree Removal
“My backyard maples were getting too thick and blocking light from the deck. The pruning work was surgical, they thinned them out perfectly while keeping the natural shape. Cleanup was spotless, and I can actually see the sky again.”
Tree Trimming & Pruning
“After removing an old pine tree, I had this nasty stump taking up half the yard. Their grinding equipment made quick work of it, they ground it down deep and even spread the chips for me. Only thing: they could've texted before arriving, but the work itself was perfect.”
Stump Grinding
“A massive branch came down during that windstorm last week and was hanging dangerously over my roof. Called Boston Tree Service and they got someone out within hours. They safely removed the whole limb and cleared the debris before dark. Exactly what you need in an emergency.”

Boston Tree Service has been the trusted choice for homeowners and property managers across Boston and the surrounding areas who need reliable, professional tree care. Whether you're in Jamaica Plain, Brookline, Newton, Cambridge, Somerville, or Quincy, our team understands the unique challenges that Boston's tree canopy presents, from the shallow rocky soil and dense neighborhood lots to the weather patterns that define New England living. Homeowners searching for tree service near me in Boston turn to us because we combine local expertise with insured workmanship on every job.
From the narrow back yards of triple-deckers in Dorchester and Roslindale to the tree-lined streets of West Roxbury and the larger wooded properties toward Needham and Weymouth, we've worked on every type of residential property in the greater Boston area. We know how to navigate tight spaces, work safely around overhead power lines, and respect the character of historic neighborhoods while keeping your property healthy and safe. Ready to get started? Contact us today for a free estimate.
Storm damage is a fact of life in Boston. Nor'easters, heavy wet spring snow, ice storms, and tropical-storm remnants bring down limbs and topple trees every year, often with little warning. If a tree has fallen on your roof, garage, vehicle, or fence, or if you're facing a hazardous hanging limb that threatens your home or power lines, you need immediate professional help. Boston Tree Service offers 24/7 Emergency Tree Service to respond quickly and safely when disaster strikes. Call us right away at (857) 380-7444 if you have an emergency.
Beyond storm emergencies, we handle large tree removal jobs that require precision and planning. Removing a mature Norway maple, red oak, or white pine from a Boston back yard is rarely straightforward. Root systems are shallow in our glacial, rocky soil, trees are often close to structures, and overhead wires complicate every decision. Our experienced arborists assess the tree's health, lean, and proximity to your home, then plan the safest, most efficient removal strategy. Whether the tree is diseased, storm-damaged, or simply too close to your foundation, we have the equipment and experience to do it right.
Time matters in an emergency. The longer a fallen tree or dangerous limb remains, the greater the risk to your family, your property, and your neighbors. We prioritize emergency calls and work around the clock during storm season to clear hazards and restore safety. Our crews are equipped to handle debris removal, chainsaw work at height, and heavy equipment placement in tight urban lots. When you need tree removal fast, trust the team that knows Boston's neighborhoods and challenges.
The cost of tree removal and other tree services in Boston depends on several factors: the size and species of the tree, the difficulty of access to your yard, how close the tree stands to your house or other structures, whether power lines are nearby, and the scope of cleanup and debris removal required. A small ornamental tree in an open yard costs far less than removing a 60-foot oak wedged between a triple-decker and a neighbor's fence. For a detailed breakdown of pricing for your specific situation, visit our pricing page or contact us for a free estimate.
Tree removal is often just the beginning. After a tree comes down, you're left with a stump that can sprout new growth, harbor pests, or become a tripping hazard. Our stump grinding service removes the stump and roots below grade, leaving your yard ready for replanting or landscaping. We also offer tree trimming and pruning to maintain the health and shape of your trees, hedge trimming and shrub care for property lines and sight lines, land clearing for renovation projects, and arborist consultation if you want professional guidance on which trees to keep, prune, or remove.
Many cities and towns within the Boston area require permits before removing trees above a certain size, and some have protected heritage tree ordinances that apply to oaks and other significant species. Property line rules may also restrict work on a neighbor's overhanging limbs without consent or a court order. Because permit requirements vary by municipality, it's wise to check with your local building department or city arborist before you begin. Boston Tree Service can advise you on the permit process for your specific location and help you understand what approvals may be needed. Call us at (857) 380-7444 or contact us to discuss your project and get guidance on local regulations.
