Tree Service & Landscaping in North Reading, MA

Tree removal and tree service in North Reading mostly involve big trees on generous, wooded lots. The town is spread out, with residential streets shaded by tall oak, maple, and white pine, the Ipswich River and Martins Pond winding through, and the edge of Harold Parker State Forest to the north. Many properties carry large mature trees close to homes, driveways, and pool areas, along with foundation shrubs that grow out of bounds fast.

When a big oak or pine has to come down on a wooded lot, careful rigging or a crane keeps it controlled and protects the house. Lots on the north side of town can back onto Harold Parker State Forest; before any cutting there, find out where the line runs, because the forest is state property in the Department of Conservation and Recreation‘s care. Nearer the house, tree trimming and our property maintenance crews keep limbs, shrubs, and beds in check, and a limb dropped by a storm is a job for our 24/7 crew, whatever the hour.

A tree well inside your own yard usually needs no permit in North Reading. Trees in the public way are public shade trees under MGL c.87, and removing one requires the Tree Warden’s approval. Lots near the Ipswich River, Martins Pond, or wetlands can fall under the North Reading Conservation Commission’s buffer, where removals and regrading may need review first. Power lines in town are maintained by the Reading Municipal Light Department, so a limb on a wire is theirs to make safe. Check with town hall before scheduling, and our ISA-Certified Arborists can prepare the tree report for any filing.
