Tree services in North Reading
Tree Removal
Dead, dying, leaning, or simply in the wrong place, removing a tree near a house is a job for an insured professional with the right equipment.
Emergency & Storm Tree Service
Nor'easters, thunderstorms, and heavy wet snow bring down trees and limbs across the North Shore.
Stump Grinding
A stump left after a removal can be a tripping hazard, get in the way of mowing and landscaping, and attract insects as it rots.
Tree Trimming & Pruning
Good pruning removes dead and weak limbs, clears the roof and driveway, and reduces the chance of storm damage without harming the tree.
Hazard Tree Assessment
Not every leaning or ugly tree needs to come down, and not every healthy-looking tree is safe.

Why tree problems matter
Dead limbs, cracks, rot, and leaning trees can fail in a storm and damage homes, cars, and power lines. Emerald ash borer is also killing ash trees across Essex and Middlesex counties, and declining ash trees are a growing safety concern.
