Report
We had a very complex scenario where our neighbor's huge oak tree split in half after a few days of heavy autumn rain (suburbs of Boston). Our neighbor's tree trunk closest to our property line fell sideways within inches of crushing our shed because it eventually came to rest entangled in our own huge oak tree in the middle of our own backyard. We were terrified the fallen tree would break through and cause a tremendous amount of destruction to our property and to the property of our other neighbors as well. We contacted Pathfinder and they came right over and gave us an estimate. We agreed on

A little bit worries when I read reviews after scheduling to get a quote on Friday. However, they did a great job. They came over on next Monday and helped me out with trimming a huge maple tree and removing brush piles.

This company and the people who do the work are great! In Lawrence, MA. 3 100' trees in 4 hours. Professional clean work. Not even saw dust left behind! The guys were so courteous and driven. I highly recommend this company for any and all tree services you may need.

Id give them a zero star if I could. After one of the last storms in late March I had a tree fall at a 45 degree angle that needed to come down or it would/will eventually fall on the House. After having Pathfinder come do an estimate they basically said I needed 3 trees to come down, which I dont think 3 needed to come down. Two maybe, but certainly not three. But whatever, I needed the one down ASAP so I agreed to the service. Weeks go by and no call (they said they would call before they come so the work) so I call and ask when they are coming. First response is a few weeks.... another

The two stars in that the tree was taken down and the crew was very nice back in August. However, after they chipped the trunk and roots down, they did not completely spread the chips over the area but left a mound preventing us from adding soil to plant grass seed. I called Lucas and eventually a very nice man came with a baby front loader ( a shovel would have done the job), and the mound of chips was taken away. BUT, each time he turned the front loader on our sidewalk, it left a dent and loose asphalt. The town had done all the sidewalks about a year or so ago. My husband was not very happy
