ISA-Certified arborists serving Lynn, the North Shore, and Essex & Middlesex Counties. Removal, pruning, planting, transplanting, crane work, and 24/7 emergency response, all from one insured local company.

Full-Service Tree Care, Done Safely

Trees add value, privacy, and shade to your property, until a dead limb, a leaning trunk, or storm damage turns them into a hazard. Zacarias Tree & Landscaping, Inc. has cared for trees across Lynn and the North Shore since 2002, combining ISA-Certified arborist know-how with rigging and crane-assisted removal for large or confined trees.

Whether you need a tree taken down, a canopy pruned back from the house, a new tree planted, a specimen transplanted, or a dangerous leaner cleared after a storm, it’s handled by one licensed, bonded, and fully insured local company from the first call to the finished job. We’re TCIA-accredited, and every job starts with a free on-site assessment and a clear written estimate. No guessing from photos, no surprises. We set up to protect your home, lawn, and neighboring plantings throughout the work.

What Affects the Price of Tree Work

There’s no flat rate for tree work. The price reflects the job in front of us, and it varies a lot from one service to the next. We give a written quote after a free on-site visit, but in general these are the factors that move the number on any tree job:

  • Size of the tree. Height and trunk diameter drive the time, equipment, and disposal involved.
  • Location and access. A tree in an open yard is simpler (and less expensive) than one hemmed in by a house, fence, power line, or narrow side yard.
  • Condition. A dead, split, or leaning tree calls for extra care and rigging compared with a healthy one.
  • Equipment needed. Some jobs are hand-and-rigging work; others call for a bucket truck or a crane, which changes the setup.
  • Cleanup and extras. Haul-away, stump grinding, and firewood are your call, and your written estimate should list each one so you know what is covered.

Because we’re a local, family-run company and not a franchise, the estimate is based on the actual job in front of us. For the cost factors specific to a given service, see that service’s page above, or read our guide to the average cost to cut down a tree and what tree trimming costs.

How a Zacarias Tree Job Works

Every job we do, whether a single pruning visit or a multi-day removal, follows the same straightforward path:

  1. Free on-site assessment. An ISA-Certified arborist looks at the tree, the risks, and the access, and talks through your goals.
  2. Clear written estimate. You get a clear written estimate: what’s included and what it costs. No pressure, no obligation.
  3. Careful, protected work. We set up to protect your home, lawn, gardens, and your neighbors’ property, and follow proper rigging and safety practices throughout.
  4. Cleanup as agreed. Your written estimate should spell out cleanup and debris removal, so you know exactly what leaves the site. Firewood can be left on request.

We serve homeowners throughout Lynn, the North Shore, and Essex & Middlesex Counties, and we pair tree work with full landscaping and hardscaping when a project calls for it.

Tree Care for North Shore Conditions

The trees we care for most across Lynn and the North Shore are red and white oaks, sugar and Norway maples, white pines, birches, arborvitae, and ash. Each fails in its own way. White pines shed big limbs under wet snow. Norway maples often grow tight, crowded unions that split in ice storms. Ash trees across Massachusetts are being killed by the emerald ash borer, and a dead ash turns brittle fast, which makes it harder and riskier to take down the longer it stands.

Near the coast, salt spray and wind stress the crown, and road salt and compacted soil stress the roots along busy streets. That is why timing matters. Late winter, while trees are dormant, is a good window for structural pruning, and fall is the time to deal with weak limbs before nor’easter and ice season. Our year-round tree care calendar lays out what to do when, and if you are comparing companies, our tree service hiring checklist lists the questions to ask any crew, including us.

Tree Service FAQs

Common Tree Service Questions

What tree services does Zacarias offer?

The full range: tree removal and stump grinding, trimming and pruning, arborist assessments, tree planting, tree transplanting, crane-assisted removal, and 24/7 emergency service. Each has its own page above with the details, and the same insured local company handles all of it.

Do I need my tree removed or just pruned?

If a tree is healthy but overgrown, crowding the house, or has some deadwood, pruning usually solves it. Removal makes sense when a tree is dead, badly declined, hollow or split, dangerously leaning, or damaging a foundation. Our ISA-Certified Arborist will tell you honestly which one your tree needs.

Do you offer 24/7 emergency tree service?

Yes. Emergency and storm response is available 24/7. If a tree is down on your home, car, or driveway, contact us any hour and we will start by making the site safe. If it is touching power lines, stay back and call the utility first. See our emergency tree service page for details.

Are you certified, licensed, and insured?

Yes on all counts. Zacarias is a TCIA-accredited company with ISA-Certified arborists, and we're licensed, bonded, and fully insured. Ask for proof of coverage before any work starts.

What happens to the debris after the work?

Cleanup and haul-away should be written into your estimate, so before the job starts you know exactly what will be removed from the property and what, if anything, stays.

What areas do you serve?

Lynn, the North Shore, and much of Essex and Middlesex Counties. You can see the full list of towns on our service area page. If you are nearby and do not see your town, just ask.

Do I need a permit to take down a tree?

For a tree well inside your own lot, usually not. Street trees are often public shade trees under Massachusetts law and belong to the town tree warden, and trees near wetlands can need conservation commission sign-off, so check with your town first. Our guide to Massachusetts tree cutting rules explains what to ask.

How do I know if a tree is dying or dangerous?

Look for a new lean, cracked or heaving soil at the base, fungus on the trunk, large dead limbs, and bark falling away. Our signs a tree is dying checklist walks through each one, and an ISA-Certified Arborist can confirm in person.

Can I keep the wood?

Yes. Firewood can be cut and left on request. Mention it at the estimate so it is written into the scope.
