Professional and great service. They did exactly what they said they would do and cleaned everything up very nicely. Much appreciated and I would highly recommend this company.
No two removals are the same job. A dead ash in an open field and a storm-cracked maple leaning over a bedroom are different animals — different gear, different plan, different price. Whatever yours looks like, we've taken one down like it before.
The emerald ash borer has killed ash trees all over Erie County, and dead ash gets brittle fast — dangerous to climb, worse to ignore. We remove dead and dying trees before winter wind does it for you, on your schedule instead of the storm's.
The 70- and 80-footers — mature maples, oaks, and pines that have outgrown their spot. Big trees come down in planned sections with ropes and rigging, never in one dramatic drop.
The jobs that make homeowners nervous — and should make any tree company careful. Tight drop zones, controlled lowering, and coordination with the utility when lines are involved.
Already down, or about to be? Our 24/7 crew handles trees on roofs, driveways, and vehicles.
Building, expanding, or opening up acreage? We clear multiple trees and brush efficiently and leave you a workable site, not a war zone.
Backyards with no gate wide enough, slopes, trees boxed in by structures. Where a bucket truck can't go, climbers and rigging can.
Trees rarely fall without warning. They telegraph it — sometimes for years. Around here, these are the signs we take seriously:
If you have an ash tree in southern Erie County, the emerald ash borer has probably found it. Bare branches at the crown, woodpecker damage, bark falling off in sheets — once ash dies, it turns brittle within a year or two and becomes genuinely dangerous to leave standing.
Trees that have always leaned are usually fine. A tree that started leaning — especially after a wet spring or a windstorm — means the roots are letting go.
A cavity you can fit your arm into means the structural wood is rotting from the inside out.
Fungal growth on the trunk or the root flare is often the visible tip of decay you can't see.
A major limb failure or a split leader after a windstorm leaves the rest of the tree compromised, even if it looks like it's holding.
The ground bulging on one side of the tree is the root plate starting to tip. That one's a call-us-today sign.
Some trees were planted 40 years ago with no thought for what 40 years would do.
It's the first question everyone asks, so here's a straight answer: tree removal prices vary a lot, and anyone quoting you a firm number over the phone without seeing the tree is guessing. What actually sets the price:
Height and trunk diameter drive everything — more wood, more cuts, more hauling. A 25-foot ornamental and an 80-foot silver maple are different jobs entirely.
Here's the part that surprises people: dead trees often cost more than living ones. Dead wood is unpredictable and can't always be safely climbed, which changes the whole approach.
A tree ten feet from the driveway is simple. A tree in a fenced backyard on a slope means everything comes out by hand or over the house.
Your roof, your neighbor's fence, a power line, a glass sunroom — the tighter the drop zone, the more rigging and time the job takes.
Full cleanup is standard for us, but if you want the wood left cut for your fireplace, that trims the price.
Our estimates are free, in writing, and final. The number on the quote is the number on the invoice — and if we hit something unexpected mid-job, we stop and talk to you before anything changes. Ask about our seasonal discount of up to 20% when you call.
We walk the property, look at the tree and everything around it, and talk through the plan with you. You get a written price before anyone starts a saw.
Plywood goes down where the heavy equipment rolls. Flower beds get flagged, gates and play sets noted, and the drop zone is marked off before the first cut.
This is where experience shows. A climber or bucket operator takes the tree apart from the top down — limbs roped, lowered, and controlled the whole way. Nothing free-falls near anything that matters.
The trunk comes down in managed sections. Want the stump gone too? We grind it below grade in the same visit in most cases. Stump Grinding & Removal
Branches through the chipper, wood hauled away (or cut and stacked for your fireplace if you'd rather keep it), lawn raked. The job isn't done until the only evidence left is daylight where the tree used to be.
Our emergency crew runs 24/7 across Boston, Hamburg, Eden, West Seneca, and Orchard Park. When it's dangerous, we come now — and sort out the paperwork after everyone's safe.
A homeowner in Hamburg, NY, contacted Boston Tree Services after a storm left a large maple tree damaged near their home. With concerns about the tree's stability and its proximity to the roof, the homeowner needed professional assistance to address the situation safely.
Storm-damaged trees can pose serious risks to nearby homes, vehicles, and surrounding property. The damaged maple required a careful assessment to determine the safest removal approach and minimize the risk of further damage.
The Boston Tree Services team assessed the tree's condition, its position, and the surrounding work area before beginning. We planned the removal carefully, focusing on controlled cutting, safe handling of the damaged sections, and protecting nearby structures throughout the process.
The damaged maple was removed, and the surrounding area was cleared of tree debris. Our goal was to leave the property clean, orderly, and ready for the homeowner to enjoy with greater peace of mind.
If a damaged or unstable tree is threatening your home or property, contact Boston Tree Services for professional assistance.
Trimming gone wrong costs you a tree. Removal gone wrong costs you a roof, a fence, or worse. That's why we'd rather talk about safety than slogans:
We'll hand you a current certificate of insurance before the job starts, not after you ask twice. Any tree company that hesitates on this question is answering it.
The people on your property work for us, trained our way, covered under our policy, and accountable to the same owner who gave you the quote.
Rigging and lowering gear, chippers, grinders, and a bucket truck — the right tool for each tree instead of one tool forced onto every tree.
We live and work here. In a town this size, our next job depends on how your job went.
Based in Boston, up in the hills off Route 391 — and on the road across southern Erie County every working day. Wherever you are on this list, you're getting the same crew and the same standard.
Anywhere from a few hundred dollars for a small, easy-access tree to several thousand for a large one over a structure. Size, condition, and access set the price — which is why we quote in person, in writing, for free. The quote you get is the price you pay.
On most private residential property around the Town of Boston, no — but rules vary by town, and trees near roads or in right-of-ways can be a different story. We'll flag it during your estimate if your tree needs a check with the town first.
Yes — that's most of what we do. Trees near structures come down in rigged, controlled sections, not in one drop. The closer the tree is to something that matters, the more the job is about ropes and planning and the less it's about the chainsaw.
Standard removal takes the tree down to a low stump. Grinding the stump below grade is a separate line on the quote — most people add it, and we usually do it in the same visit. More on stump grinding
Absolutely. We'll cut it to fireplace length and stack it where you want it — and that saves you the haul-away cost. Just tell us when we quote the job.
Most single-tree removals are done in a morning or an afternoon. Large or technical removals can run a full day. Either way, you'll know the plan before we start — and if you're ready to find out for your tree, call us at (716) 456-8833.
Here's the thing about a dead or leaning tree: it's never cheaper to remove than it is right now. Storm season doesn't book appointments — and a tree that comes down on its own schedule usually brings a roof repair bill with it. One call gets you an honest assessment, a written price, and a crew that shows up when they said they would.
