Pruning & Maintenance
In order to protect your valuable trees and property from falling or breaking limbs, our professional arborists and climbers can offer the safest and healthiest pruning options for your trees. In addition to reducing the potential dangers of storm damage, skilled pruning can also enhance the health and beauty of your trees and property. It is important to prune safely and properly to avoid damage to your trees. Our certified and well-trained specialists ensure smooth and safe maintenance to protect your home.
Plant Health Care and Diagnostics
In a comprehensive inspection, we can typically determine most health issues with your trees. In cases with rare or more challenging conditions, we may require more intensive evaluation including root excavation, tissue sampling and soil tests. Nick’s Tree Service works in accordance with the University of Massachusetts Amherst Labs for any tissue or soil testing and diagnosis.
Property Inspection
A Massachusetts Certified Arborist will examine your trees for health issues and hazards. This inspection will check for cracks, decay, deadwood, structural defects and any other foreseeable problems with your plants. First inspections are free of charge!
Planting & Transplanting
Whether you’re looking for a new addition to your home or trying to save a valuable tree, our planting and transplanting methods provide your trees and shrubs the best opportunities to thrive. At Nick’s Tree Service, we also have the proper equipment and training to transplant mature trees in crowded and difficult areas.
Fertilization & Deep-Root Feedings
Trees and shrubs that are well-nourished have better resistance to disease, insect attack and drought. Our fertilization programs can help keep your trees and shrubs healthier to improve vigor and promote the development of foliage and fruit adding both beauty and value to your property.
Healthy trees need healthy soil to provide food, water, oxygen and stability to the roots. To protect your tree from decline and death, our arborists can perform soil tests for pH levels, nutrient and mineral content, and soil structure. These tests determine the best possible solutions for your problem through deep-root feedings and aeration techniques.
Firewood
Our firewood processing department works year-round as various jobs provide excess wood to be removed and recycled. All wood is well-seasoned and aged to ensure dryness. Using our wood processing equipment, the firewood is split into manageable pieces and stacked to age throughout the year. It is sold in both single and multiple cords and delivered straight to your home.
Tree & Stump Removal
Although we at Nick’s Tree Service value the protection of trees, there are times when a tree must be removed due to health issues, location or other important reasons. In order to do this safely, an arborist will evaluate your tree and determine the best way to remove it to minimize hazard. Using skilled climbers and reliable equipment we remove even the most challenging trees quickly without damaging the surrounding landscape. In addition to complete tree removal, we also grind and remove old and unwanted stumps from your landscape. Nick’s Tree Service offers full removal of wood and debris and when possible recycles the remains for firewood to reduce environmental waste.
Commercial & Residential Tree Lighting
During the holiday seasons, Nick’s Tree Service offers extensive outdoor tree lighting. Our specialists have designed and created some of the most beautifully lit trees in Boston. We find and deliver the holiday trees of your choice and skillfully light and decorate each one. We also offer removal at the end of the season.
