Lancaster is one of the oldest towns in Massachusetts, and it shows in the trees. Big, mature oaks, maples, and pines line the historic properties and rural lots here — many of them decades older than the trees we see on the rest of our route. We take that seriously. A tree this old deserves a careful look before anyone makes a call on it, and we treat every Lancaster property that way.
Owner Edward founded Tree Sons in 2013 and built the business around honest, thorough tree work for Central Massachusetts homeowners. Lancaster homeowners get the same crane-equipped, family-owned service as every other town on our route — just with a little more attention paid to the big, old trees this town is known for.
Tree care for Lancaster's oldest trees
Lancaster's older properties often have trees that have been standing for generations, and the calls we get here usually fall into one of two camps. Sometimes a big old tree has become genuinely hazardous — split limbs, a hollowed trunk, root damage, or a lean that's gotten worse — and removal is the honest recommendation. Other times the tree is still healthy and worth keeping; in those cases we'd rather trim out the deadwood, lighten the crown, and clean up the damaged sections than take the whole tree down. We'll tell you straight which situation you're in.
For Lancaster's biggest trees, our crane and aerial lift capability makes a real difference — it's often the only safe way to bring down a large, old tree near a historic house, a stone wall, or overhead lines. And because a lot of Lancaster properties sit back on rural lots with long driveways or limited access, we plan the job around getting equipment in and wood out without tearing up the yard along the way.

Why Lancaster homeowners call Tree Sons
Comfortable with big, old trees. Lancaster's large mature and aging trees take real judgment — we've handled plenty of them, from careful preservation trims to full crane removals on hazardous old specimens.
Ready for rural access. Long driveways, wooded lots, and tight approaches near historic homes aren't a problem — we plan equipment access ahead of time so the job goes smoothly.
Family-owned since 2013. Owner Edward runs a straightforward operation. You get a real estimate from a crew that will actually do the work — no subcontracting, no surprises.
