Recent Tree Work Across Massachusetts
From large oak removals in Wellesley to multi-day storm cleanups in Concord, Norfolk Tree Service has been working Eastern Massachusetts properties since 1998. The projects below sample the range — emergency response after wind events, planned removals of declining trees near structures, large-diameter stump grinding for landscape rebuilds, and full lot clearing for new construction.
Hazard Removal: 80-Foot White Oak in Weston, MA
A century-old white oak with a major structural crack at the union threatened a Weston colonial. We worked with the property owner’s insurance carrier on documentation, rigged sections down by crane to protect the driveway and roof line, and ground the 42-inch stump to 12 inches below grade. Two-day job, no damage to the house, full property cleanup before leaving the site.
Storm Response: Microburst Cleanup in Needham, MA
After a July microburst snapped six mature maples along a Needham cul-de-sac, three of our crews responded within four hours. We cleared driveways and roads before the utility company arrived for line work, then returned the next two days to remove the downed trees and grind the stumps. Coordinated with two neighbors’ insurance adjusters for documentation.
Land Clearing: Half-Acre Buildable Lot in Franklin, MA
A Franklin homeowner needed a half-acre cleared of mixed hardwood and brush before breaking ground on an addition. We worked with the local conservation commission on wetland-setback compliance, removed 40+ trees ranging 8″ to 30″ diameter, chipped the brush on-site, and ground 35 stumps. Five-day job, started and finished on the dates promised.
Crown Reduction: Three Sugar Maples in Wellesley, MA
Three sugar maples on a Wellesley property were over-extending toward the home and dropping deadwood after every storm. Rather than full removal, our ISA-certified arborist designed a crown reduction and deadwood pruning plan that preserved the trees’ structural health and the property’s mature canopy. The work extended each tree’s serviceable life by an estimated 15-20 years.
