The Tree Pruning Experts®
Modern arboriculture & urban forestry
Northern Boston Tree Service® Inc. is a TCIA Accredited arboriculture company dedicated to the preservation and management of trees. We believe trees are among the most valuable assets of the urban landscape.
Research & judgment
Guided by current research, industry best management practices, and nationally recognized standards, we develop pruning prescriptions based on your concerns and each tree's condition. Objectives may include improving structure, managing loads, reducing the likelihood of branch failure, and providing clearance while preserving natural form.
Care in the canopy
Using modern rope-climbing systems, our team evaluates tree structure and prunes selectively to achieve those objectives.
Our work reflects a commitment to the highest standards of tree care and responsible stewardship of the urban forest.

Our philosophy
A longer view of tree care.
The way we understand trees shapes the way we care for them.
Understand
the whole tree.
Trees are living systems, shaped by their biology, structure, and surroundings. Their value extends to the people and wildlife that share the landscape.
Intervene
with purpose.
Every recommendation should have a clear objective and consider how the tree may respond. Thoughtful care also means recognizing when intervention is unnecessary.
Consider
the years ahead.
We consider what our work will mean for the tree over time, balancing its preservation with your goals and the way you use your property.
