Amherst is home to some of the most beautiful tree canopy in Western Massachusetts. From the grand sugar maples and white oaks lining South Pleasant Street and Shays Road, to the mature hardwoods on older residential lots near downtown and the UMass campus, trees are a defining feature of this community — and keeping them healthy takes real expertise.
At Northeast Tree Care, we've been providing professional tree services to Amherst homeowners, property managers, and institutions since 2002. Our certified arborists understand the specific tree species, soil conditions, and weather patterns of the Pioneer Valley. We know that nor'easters and late-season ice storms regularly put large trees under stress, and that spring is the time to assess and address winter damage before it becomes a safety issue.
Whether you need a hazardous tree removed from a tight spot near your home, routine pruning to keep your canopy healthy, or a plant health care program for struggling trees, our crew brings the skill, equipment, and professionalism to get it done — with minimal impact to your lawn and landscape.
Our Tree Services in Amherst
Tree Removal
When a tree is dead, diseased, storm-damaged, or growing too close to your home, safe removal is often the best option. Our 38-ton crane with 158 ft of reach handles even the largest trees with minimal disruption to your yard.

Tree Pruning
Proper pruning improves the structure, appearance, and long-term health of your trees. We remove deadwood, correct improper growth, and reduce crowns near structures — always maintaining the tree's natural form.

Stump Grinding
After removal, leftover stumps are unsightly and a tripping hazard. Our mechanical stump grinders can access nearly any location — including through a 36" gate — to clear stumps cleanly and completely.

Plant Health Care
Amherst trees face threats from emerald ash borer, winter moth, and fungal diseases. We offer lab-tested soil analysis, custom fertilization programs, disease treatment, and insect control to keep your trees thriving year-round.

Land Management
Planning construction or clearing overgrown land? Our certified arborists work with builders and property owners to protect valuable trees during development and restore overgrown areas — repurposing all removed material.

Cabling & Bracing
Weak or co-dominant stems can be dangerous, especially on older trees in established Amherst neighborhoods. Cabling and bracing adds structural support to at-risk branches, helping preserve trees you'd otherwise need to remove.

"What sets Northeast Tree apart from the rest is the level of professionalism they bring to the job. Their attention to detail is second to none — from the start of the project to the final piece of equipment that moves out. They respect your property and are thorough in cleaning up when the job is over. They stand by their work and value the customer."
— Peter A. Gelinas, Owner, Valley Rental Company"I've used Northeast Tree Care several times and always found them to be quick to respond. They removed a very large maple tree that had become a hazard — not one branch hit the house — and had it cleaned up in no time. A responsible and reliable company."
— Dan, Hadley Garden Center"Many thanks for a job well done. We were impressed by the care that was taken in removing our three trees. We will not hesitate to call again, and we've been happy to already recommend you to one of our neighbors."
