Our services

All aspects of tree work, clearing, and small excavation

Seven services, one crew, one call. Everything we do is fully licensed and insured, and every estimate is free.

Tree Removal

From a single leaning pine to a yard full of storm-damaged hardwoods, we take trees down safely and in control. Using a bucket truck, rigging, and years of hands-on experience, we dismantle trees piece by piece when they stand close to homes, garages, fences, and power lines — and we haul everything away when we are done.

  • Hazardous and dead tree removal
  • Large tree takedowns near homes and structures
  • Storm damage and emergency removal, 24/7
  • Full cleanup and hauling included

Tree Pruning

Good pruning extends the life of a tree and protects everything beneath it. We remove dead, diseased, and crossing limbs, thin crowded canopies, and lift branches away from roofs, driveways, and yards — shaping the tree the way it naturally wants to grow.

  • Deadwood and hazard limb removal
  • Crown thinning and canopy raising
  • Clearance pruning over roofs and driveways
  • Ornamental and shade tree shaping

Stump Grinding

A leftover stump is a tripping hazard, a mower killer, and an invitation for pests and regrowth. We grind stumps down below the surface so you can seed over the spot, replant, or build — and we can haul the grindings or leave them as natural mulch, your choice.

  • Stumps ground below grade
  • Any size, from small saplings to large hardwood stumps
  • Surface roots chased out on request
  • Grindings hauled or left as mulch

Land Clearing

Whether you are opening up a building lot, reclaiming an overgrown field, or cutting in a new view, we clear land efficiently and leave it ready for what comes next. Trees are felled, logged, and hauled; brush is chipped or removed; and the ground is left clean and workable.

  • Building lots and new construction sites
  • Field and pasture reclamation
  • View cutting and fence line clearing
  • Timber logged and hauled off-site

Excavation

Our small excavation work pairs perfectly with our clearing services. Once the trees and stumps are out, we can grade the site, cut in a driveway, dig for foundations and additions, and sort out drainage problems — one crew, one call, start to finish.

  • Site grading and leveling
  • Driveway installation and repair
  • Foundation and addition digging
  • Drainage solutions and culverts

Septic & Sewer

When a septic system fails or a sewer line needs replacing, you need it handled quickly and correctly. We excavate, install, and repair septic systems and sewer lines, and we coordinate with your engineer or sanitarian so the job passes inspection the first time.

  • Septic system installation and replacement
  • Septic repair and leach field work
  • Sewer line excavation and replacement
  • Water line and utility trenching

Land Management

Land takes tending. We help property owners across the Pioneer Valley manage their woodlots and acreage year-round: cutting trails, cleaning up after storms, removing invasives, and keeping fields and forest edges in shape through every New England season.

  • Woodlot and forest management
  • Trail cutting and maintenance
  • Storm cleanup and debris removal
  • Invasive species and brush control
