Tree Service & Landscaping in Wakefield, MA

Zacarias has served Wakefield since 2002. The town wraps around Lake Quannapowitt and Crystal Lake, and the older homes on the streets nearby are shaded by tall, mature trees — big maples, oaks, and pines that have stood for generations. To the south and east, the wooded ridges toward Breakheart Reservation add plenty of large conifers close to houses.

Big lakeside and neighborhood trees are a lot of wood standing over homes, and when one has to come down on a tight lot we bring proper rigging or a crane so it’s controlled. Mature trees near the water benefit from regular pruning to shed weak limbs before a storm, our 24/7 crew handles the damage when one does come through, and beyond tree work we build full landscaping and hardscaping — all from one certified, insured local team.

Under state law (MGL c.87), a tree in the public way near the street is a “public shade tree” and needs Tree Warden approval to remove. A tree in your own yard usually doesn’t — but because Wakefield is built around Lake Quannapowitt and Crystal Lake, many properties sit within the Conservation Commission’s wetlands and lake buffer, where removals may need review first. Our ISA-Certified Arborists know how to work within those rules and can provide the documentation the town requires. Confirm the specifics with the town before work begins.
