Tree Removal and Tree Service in Ashland, MA
Just south of Framingham along Route 126 and Route 135.
Ashland sits right below Framingham, and we reach most of the town in about fifteen minutes down Route 126 or Route 135. We do a lot of work there, from single pine removals to clearing the back of wooded lots.
Wooded lots and hills
A lot of Ashland is hilly and wooded, and many of the newer neighborhoods were cut out of the forest. That leaves houses with tall oaks and pines standing right at the edge of the yard. When those trees were part of a forest, they grew tall and thin to reach light. Once the land around them is cleared, they take the full force of the wind. Many of the leaning and storm-damaged trees we see in Ashland come from this.
The rocky, shallow soil in parts of town also means roots do not go deep. After a long wet stretch, a strong wind can tip a whole tree over, root plate and all. If you see a crack in the soil or the ground lifting on one side of a tree, call us.
Near the water
The Sudbury River runs through Ashland, and Ashland State Park and the reservoir sit at the south end of town. Homes near the river, the reservoir and the brooks that feed them are often near wetlands. Tree work in those areas can need Conservation Commission approval. We will flag it if your job is close.
Services in Ashland
We offer tree removal, trimming and pruning, stump grinding, lot clearing and 24-hour storm service throughout Ashland. Every estimate is free and written.
A good number of our Ashland customers want light let back into the yard. Taking out a few pines on the south side, and thinning the oaks that remain, can turn a dark, mossy yard back into lawn in a single season.
Ashland homeowners can call (508) 555-0142 or send the form for a free written estimate.
