Tree removal and tree service in Stoneham usually involve trees that grew up with the forest. Much of the town backs onto the Middlesex Fells Reservation and Spot Pond, and yards near the Stone Zoo, Bear Hill, and the Fells edge are shaded by tall oak, white pine, and hemlock that carry right over from the woods. Add rocky, sloped lots and houses set close to the tree line, and a big tree here often means heavy wood over a roof with little room to maneuver.
When a big Fells-edge tree has to come down on a tight or steep lot, that is proper-rigging or crane-assisted work. On the slopes near Bear Hill, ledge and grade decide where a crane or truck can set up, and sometimes the only safe route is to lower every piece by rope. Ahead of storm season, tree trimming takes weak limbs off before the wind across Spot Pond does, and after a nor’easter, our 24/7 crew clears what falls. After a tree removal, we can build the landscaping and hardscaping a sloped yard needs, from retaining walls to planting.
