Tree Care in Medford, MA

Certification provides a professional foundation. A Certified Arborist has demonstrated professional knowledge and experience in arboriculture and must maintain that credential through continuing education. At BTSE, we build on that through continued education, field experience and specialists across arboriculture, plant health, safety, lawn care and related disciplines.

For our clients, that means the people making recommendations and carrying out the work have both professional knowledge and the expertise of a larger team behind them.

We start by listening and understanding what’s important to you. Caring for a property works best as a partnership. There isn't a standard program that's right for every property.

We look at the landscape as a whole, not just visible symptoms. Trees, shrubs and lawns don't grow independently. They share soil, water, nutrients, sunlight and growing space. Site conditions, soils, construction impacts, pests, disease and how you use the property all influence what makes sense.

Greater Boston is where we live and work. Our team understands the trees, landscapes, soils, pests and growing conditions unique to the communities we serve.

Trust comes from knowing the people caring for your property are qualified, invested in the outcome and willing to give you a straightforward recommendation, even when the answer is to do less.

Soils sustain life. Understanding what's happening below ground often explains what we're seeing above it. Roots need water, oxygen, nutrients and room to grow. Compaction, poor soil structure, construction disturbance and other changes to the root environment can contribute to years of stress before the symptoms become obvious. 

Several cities and towns in the greater Boston area have local tree ordinances concerning the removal of trees on private property. Regulations vary based on the city, as well as factors such as the size, species, location and condition of the tree. Our arborists can help determine if you are subject to permit requirements and guide you through the regulatory process for tree removal specific to the town you live in.
