Trees in Acton
Acton was built out in the 1960s and 70s under a canopy of white pine and oak, and those trees have had fifty more years to grow. In West Acton, South Acton and the neighborhoods off Route 27 and Route 111, it is common to find three or four pines taller than the house is long, standing within striking distance of it.
Pines that size are not a job for a ladder and a rope from the ground. We climb them or set the crane in the driveway, take the tops out first and work down. When several come out at once, doing them in one visit with the crane is usually the cheapest way to do it.
“They safely removed two enormous trees that were very close to our house using a crane, and the entire job was completed quickly with impressive precision.”
Worth knowing before you cut in Acton
Acton takes its trees and wetlands seriously. Trees along public roads are the Tree Warden's, and Acton has its own wetland bylaw on top of the state law, so cutting near Nashoba Brook, Fort Pond Brook, Nagog Pond or any marked wetland may need the Conservation Commission first. Power is Eversource. If you are building or adding on, ask the town what it expects before clearing.

Questions from Acton
Who do I call about a tree on the wires in Acton?
If a wire is down, or a tree is resting on one, stay well back and call 911 and Eversource, which supplies electricity in Acton. Nobody can work on that tree until the line has been made safe. Then call or text us at (857) 256-1222 and we will be ready to go as soon as it is.
How quickly can you get to Acton?
We are based on Hudson Rd in Bolton, about 20 minutes from Acton. Estimates usually happen within a couple of days, sometimes the same day when the crew is already working nearby. Storm emergencies go to the front of the line.
What does tree removal cost in Acton?
The town does not change the price. The tree does: its size, what is underneath it, how close a truck can get, and whether the wood is staying or going. Adam prices every job in person, for free, and you have the number before any work starts.
