Our Tree Services in Greater Boston

Trees in Greater Boston face constant stress from coastal storms, dense residential spacing, and aging root systems. Our services are built around the real problems homeowners deal with here: from hazardous removals to long-term tree preservation and property clearing.
tree removal

Tree Removal

Some trees reach the point where they become a safety risk. Whether due to decay, storm damage, or proximity to structures, removal must be done carefully. We dismantle trees in controlled sections to protect nearby homes, driveways, and surrounding landscape.
tree pruning trimming

Tree Pruning & Trimming

Regular pruning keeps trees structurally sound and reduces the risk of limb failure. We remove dead, weak, or overextended branches while preserving the tree’s strength and natural shape. Proper trimming also improves light penetration and airflow.
ornamental tree trimming

Ornamental Tree Trimming

Ornamental trees require a more precise approach. We shape and maintain decorative trees to preserve their appearance, promote healthy growth, and prevent structural issues that develop over time.
stump grinding

Stump Grinding

Old stumps can interfere with property use and attract unwanted pests. We grind stumps below ground level so the area can be safely reused, restored, or replanted.
tree planting

Tree Planting

Planting the right tree in the right location makes a long-term difference. We help homeowners select species suited for Greater Boston conditions and install them properly to ensure strong root establishment.
Tree Cabling & Bracing

Tree Cabling & Bracing

Some trees develop structural weaknesses but can still be preserved safely. Cabling and bracing provide additional support to reduce stress on vulnerable limbs and help extend the life of the tree.
Tree Risk Assessment

Tree Risk Assessment

Our arborists evaluate trees for structural stability, decay, and potential hazards. This allows homeowners to identify risks early and make informed decisions about pruning, support, or removal.
brush mowing

Brush Mowing

Overgrown areas can quickly become difficult to manage. We clear heavy brush and vegetation to restore access, improve visibility, and prepare properties for maintenance or development.
Land Clearing

Land Clearing

We provide professional land clearing services for residential and commercial properties. This includes removing trees, brush, and overgrowth to prepare land for construction, landscaping, or general property improvement.
Emergency Tree Service

Emergency Tree Service

Storms, heavy snow, and high winds can cause sudden tree failures. We respond quickly to remove fallen trees, eliminate hazards, and restore safe access to your property.
Crane-Assisted Tree Work

Crane-Assisted Tree Work

Large or hazardous trees near structures often require crane assistance. This allows us to safely lift and remove sections with precision while minimizing impact on your property.
Wood Chipping Services

Wood Chipping Services

We process branches, limbs, and debris on-site using professional chipping equipment. This allows for efficient cleanup and proper disposal of tree material.

Nevin and the team did an amazing job. Consulted with us on the options for our project, was efficient, friendly and cost effective! Project was scheduled quickly and executed perfectly. Couldn’t have asked for more ... Can’t recommend this team enough!

Ron J.

Dover Country Trees Client
We were lucky to get Nevin and his crew at Dover Country Trees over to our property on Martha’s Vineyard last fall. They did an awesome job trimming some trees and removing others. Nevin really knows his stuff, and will never indiscriminately cut down any trees that he thinks are in good health.
