Professional Tree Removal & Pruning
Living in the Northampton region, we know how quickly storms can roll through, turning even a healthy-looking tree into a safety hazard. If you have a tree leaning too close to your home or power lines, or one that’s been visibly damaged by wind, insects, or disease, give us a call. Our arborists safely remove hazardous trees using professional rigging and climbing methods. We also offer expert tree pruning services to promote healthy growth and shape your trees to enhance both aesthetics and structure.
Stump Grinding Services
Leftover stumps aren’t just eyesores — they can be tripping hazards, attract pests, and even grow back if not properly handled. That’s why we offer efficient, no-mess stump grinding using commercial-grade equipment designed to reach tight spaces and grind stumps down well below the surface. Our stump grinding service is fast, thorough, and leaves your property looking clean and ready for replanting, landscaping, or just plain enjoying.
Cabling, Bracing, & Tree Support
Some trees grow into unusual or unstable shapes over time — especially older maples, oaks, and ornamental varieties found around Northampton homes. Instead of cutting down a beloved tree, our team can often save it using strategic tree cabling and bracing. By reinforcing weak limbs or multiple trunks, we can improve a tree’s structure and reduce the risk of damage during storms or heavy snowfalls. It’s an excellent solution for preserving mature trees without sacrificing safety.
Deep Root Fertilization to Keep Trees Thriving
Our region’s soil can sometimes struggle to provide the nutrients your trees need, especially in high-traffic yards or urban settings like Northampton’s Historic District. Our deep root fertilization service delivers essential nutrients directly to your tree’s root zone, encouraging strong growth and greater resistance to drought, pests, and disease. We customize our fertilization plans based on tree type, age, and soil condition — because no two landscapes are exactly alike.
