Middlesex Tree Service

I don’t know jack about trees but Chris and his crew know exactly what to do. They took down an annoying tree in no time, removed it down to the dirt and cleaned up the area as it was before they started. As matter of fact, if not for the missing tree you’d never know they were there. Knowledgeable, efficient, prompt with very reasonable rates. If you need one tree or multiples removed, call them, what’s not to like.

Where to start. Micro burst Saturday nite pulled out a 54 yr old tree & dropped it on another tree on the side of our house. Both ended up on our roof. Called Middlesex tree, spoke with Chris who came out rite away. After going around the back & looking at things from that angle he gave us all the possibilities, gave us written estimate for the insurance co. & told us he could start as soon as our agent gave us the ok. Agent ok’d the estimate (properly made out) at 8:45am. 20 mins later a man arrived to put out cones & 15 mins after that the crew arrived. Trucks everywhere, as they set up. It was a horrible place to get into & after a couple of options they got started. And then this ginormous crane arrived. They removed 3 sections of our front fence & backed their bucket truck between the house & the tree. Long story short… amazing, amazing, amazing team work. Lifted large sections of limbs up 100 ft over a house & wires, lowered them down between 2 trees INTO the chipper. Later lengths of trunks of 3 trees the same way into the back of a dump truck. They cleaned up my yard front & back, the neighbors, the street & sidewalks. They blew all the rubble off my ROOF. Should be more stars. Best show of teamwork I’ve seen.

I’m just getting around to reviewing some work they did for me about a year maybe two ago. The company did great work. I would recommend them wholeheartedly.
I called them about removing several large trees in my yard. At the time, they said they were busy but would do the work as soon as they were able and gave a fair price.
The owner called me a couple of weeks later and said they could do it Monday, which was either Columbus or Veterans day holiday. They were some large trees, close to the house and power lines. I was away at the time but told them to get the Job done. When I got home, the trees were gone the yard was cleaned up and nothing was damaged. A couple of weeks later, i was so glad I did this as really bad ice storm hit and took down lots of trees in my neighbors’ yards.

Wanted to quickly post some pictures (
) of truly excellent tree service I recently received in Medford, Ma. We had some major tree service done by some truly professionals at Middlesex Tree Service. Friends highly recommended them to me and it was worth the wait! Guys I cannot thank you enough!

Very nice job on thinning and limbing up a big-​ass pin oak in our back yard. Good price, nice people, cleaned up after themselves, were very good about asking me what I wanted, and offering their advice when I asked for it. Also arrived on time. Very good — I am happy. Also, they were stellar at keeping the giant limbs from crushing the neighbors’ fence, which was directly underneath. I don’t like these neighbors, and would have been happy to damage their property, but Chris wouldn’t even have considered it!

I was very pleased with the results and would recommend Middlesex Tree Service to my friends or family. The owner, Chris Martel, promptly responded to my e-​mail and within a day or two I had a very fair quote for removal of a seventy foot tall maple located in a challenging spot on my property. One refreshing aspect of doing business with Chris was that he was extremely responsive (another outfit I contacted gave me a call three days later and one never called) answering his mobile almost every time I called or quickly responding to messages. Russ, whose skill with a chain saw is D’Artagnan –like, and the rest of the crew knew their roles and performed flawlessly. My only regret is that I waited so long to remove a tree that blocked ocean views from my house.

Middlesex Tree Service is by far the most professional and efficient company I have ever dealt with. They returned my call within a day, were at my house removing trees within a couple of days, and did an outstanding job. Russ was extremely efficient in his assessment of the work to be done and gave us an incredibly competitive quote. He and his crew showed up to my house exactly when they said they would (this is rare for most service workers who say one time and show up 2hrs later) and did an amazing job. I can’t say enough good things about this company. I would never use another tree removal service again. Middlesex tree service definitely has my business for life.

We called Chris and his crew mid-​day they were at our house when we got home from work on a Friday at 4:30pm. They arrived with 3 trucks, a crane, and a chipper. They professionally removed the damaged portion of our tall tulip tree and then thoroughly cleaned up all of the debris that had fallen in the street and our yard. They were reasonably priced, professional, and responsive. We would hire them again without hesitation.

We had a tree fall on our house short time ago, Chris Martel and his crew came out immediately and did a wonderful job. I can’t say enough about their professionalism. They even cut up the wood into log lengths for burning. The price was very competitive and Chris is terrific to work with.
