Tree Trimming in Longmeadow

Longmeadow is one of the wealthiest towns in Massachusetts and sits directly south of Springfield along the Connecticut River. Most of its housing stock is well-maintained single-family homes built between the 1930s and 1960s, sitting on large wooded lots. The town has a formal historic district along Longmeadow Street, a wide tree-lined boulevard that's genuinely one of the most beautiful streets in western Massachusetts. Maintaining that canopy responsibly is a real priority for residents and the town.

Overgrown trees in Springfield drop limbs on houses, fences, and cars — especially after the ice storms we get every few winters off the Connecticut River valley. A lot of the maples and oaks in the Forest Park and Six Corners neighborhoods were planted 60 or 70 years ago, and they have never been properly shaped. Branches that thick don't come down clean on their own — they crack where the wood is already rotting inside.

We start by walking the tree and looking at where the weight is sitting before we cut anything. In yards where the ground is soft from spring thaw — which is most of March and April around here — we bring in the right equipment so we're not tearing up the lawn or working from a bad angle.
