Tree Care in Wellesley, MA

Fertilizer and treatments can only do so much if the underlying growing conditions aren't right. Compacted or poor soils, competition from other plants, grass type, mowing and irrigation practices can all limit how well a lawn performs. 

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.

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.  

Good pruning starts with an objective and a prescription to achieve it. The right approach depends on the particular tree or plant, its age, structure, condition and what we're trying to accomplish. That may mean improving structure, reducing risk, providing clearance or preserving the character of a mature tree. 

Think about what features you are looking for in a new tree: Is it shade? privacy screen? aesthetic features such as flowers or colorful fall foliage? Consider these factors and then give your arborist a call. We can help you guide you to a tree (or trees) that fit your property and your budget.  

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.
