Local conditions
Trees and lots in Somerville
A typical lot holds a two-family or three-family house, a driveway and a strip of yard with one tree in it. On Winter Hill, Spring Hill and Prospect Hill those trees are often old Norway maples, with black locust and black cherry coming up wild along back fences. Near Davis Square and Teele Square, some yards run deeper and hold large oaks. Soil is compacted, roots are boxed in by pavement and foundations, and trunks carry decades of old pruning wounds.
Typical work in Somerville
- Dismantling backyard maples by climbing and rigging, then carrying every piece out along the driveway.
- Pruning limbs off roofs, back porches, gutters and the wires that feed triple-deckers.
- Grinding stumps with the compact machine so a small yard can become a garden or patio.
Good to know in Somerville
Street trees belong to the city and are managed by its urban forestry staff and tree warden. Somerville also has rules covering removal of larger private trees, so check with the city before booking. Expect to reserve street space for trucks on permit-parking blocks.

Reviews
From customers on the South Shore
The crew was hard working, friendly and efficient. By far the fairest price of anyone on the South Shore.
The tree service provided was exceptional. The team was out a few times to make sure they had the right equipment for the job. I barely knew they were here. Thank you!
Fantastic work. Fast, efficient, added some extra trees to the quote the day of for a reasonable price. All in all, would definitely use them again.
