Our arborist, Brian, is checking your trees looking for hazards - precariously hanging branches, deadwood, overly dense canopies vulnerable to storm damage - and opportunities to improve the form, health, & beauty of these critical landscape elements. This review is complimentary with your contract. If you see him feel free to ask questions, or just say hi.

If you're not already signed up for our Winter Moth/Gypsy Moth program, we'll be looking for evidence of this nasty pest on your property to make sure your specimen trees and shrubs aren't vulnerable. Local ecologists are predicting another horrific year of devastation from these voracious feeders. For more, see article from the Boston Globe.

Looking to enhance their outdoor space and turn back to nature, homeowners are moving more functional living outside. One customer's unique interpretation of a winter retreat is a rustic tepee. Elsewhere, the small stand-alone deck grill has graduated  to a fully furnished outdoor kitchen, with brick oven, firepit, and fireplace. From bocce courts to reading nooks to outdoor showers, we can help extend your living space outdoors. 

We are the proud new owners of a 72' tracked lift that allows our team to perform tree work in tight, difficult spaces. This far-reaching giant has a tiny footprint, so it fits through confined areas, like narrow fence gates. We're one of just a few companies who operates one in New England.

Made of natural forest "litterfall" - leaves, twigs, stems, & bark - and considered "garden gold", leaf duff is a mulch alternative that nourishes your plants by nourishing your soils. It's installed in a state of partial decomposition, so it's actively releasing nutrients directly into your soils the moment it hits the ground. By comparison, bark mulches are generally inert, offering little if any nutritive value. With a finer texture than bark mulch, it also suppresses weeds and helps the soil retain moisture.
