Big old trees on tight lots

Wellesley neighborhoods are full of older colonials, Tudors and Victorians, many on lots smaller than you would expect for the size of the house. The trees are old and large. Red oaks, sugar maples, Norway maples and white pines tower over roofs, patios and driveways, and the house next door is often close. That means very little room to drop a tree. Most of our Wellesley removals are done by climbing and lowering each piece by rope, or with a crane when a tree stands in a back yard with no other way in.

Wellesley homeowners also tend to want to keep their trees. A lot of our work there is pruning: taking out deadwood, reducing heavy limbs over the roof, and lifting the canopy off the house. On old trees with a split or weak union, cabling and bracing can buy many more years. For timing, see our guide on the best time to prune trees in Massachusetts.

Lake Waban, Morses Pond and the Charles

Lake Waban sits on the Wellesley College campus, Morses Pond is near the Natick line, and the Charles River runs along the south side of town. Homes near those waters and the brooks that feed them are often inside a wetland buffer. Tree work there can need town wetlands approval before we start. We will tell you during the estimate if your job is close enough to check.

Street trees and wires

Wellesley's streets are lined with big public shade trees. Under the state shade tree law, trees in the public way belong to the town, and the tree warden decides what happens to them. Healthy public trees usually need a public hearing before removal. If your road is designated a scenic road, trees along the road edge may also need Planning Board approval. Trees growing into the main electric lines are handled by the utility, so call them first. We can work around the service drop to your house once it is safe.
