I was referred to Iron tree by a family member, but have seen the green trucks around the north shore and have heard good things. I reached out to 3 tree companies for quotes to remove a partially broken pine tree that was being precariously supported by a neighboring tree in my backyard in Topsfield. I was very worried about it falling. One company was a no show, the other was a smaller company that was slightly cheaper but didnβt have a crane. The guy at this company wanted to climb this 90 foot tree but I thought it was too dangerous and wanted a company with a crane. I was also concerned that the guy at the smaller company didnβt have all the insurance and workers comp insurance that I knew Iron tree had. Ultimately I ended up going with Iron tree and the price was very reasonable. Also Iron tree helped me deal with my conservation department in getting the necessary permits. The crew we had was very good and fun to watch - really amazing to watch the crane operator and the βsawβ guy dangling from the crane a hundred feet up. All my neighbors were watching in amazement with kids clapping once they were done. They are truly professionals and did a great job. Would highly recommend. Itβs also nice knowing they have all the equipment and insurance that some of the smaller companies may or may not have.
When Mark came to check out the oak trees, he mentioned that it was an accident waiting to happen and have to thank Peabody Conservation Agent DelNegro for immediately giving us permission to take them down. It definitely averted a nightmare especially seeing they could have fallen over our pool area.

Kelley Tree is a company that I can trust to send to any of my clients for any size job and I know it will get done properly.
We worked with Mayer to clear an entire section of our yard to make way for a new landscape overhaul that included at least 30 90' trees. The project required cranes, removal, and total stump grinding. They were very professional, took great care of the property, had competitive rates, and were very responsive to our questions and follow up requirements. Wish we had known of them before, as we have used several other tree companies in the past. You can see from the photos that the transformation has been amazing. Thank you Dave for an A+++ job!
Absolutely fantastic job taking down 3 dead pines surrounded by my perennials and next to a coy pond. Not one leaf was damaged and no complaints from the fish! Highly recommend Buckley for your tree care!!
We had over 30 trees removed in our yard. John and his crew did an excellent job and made their best effort to finish up in one day by staying over. They were very timely, polite and knowledgeable. Will use them again with no hesitation.
We had several trees needed to be removed from our property that were close to the house and on a slopped hill. I knew Mayer tree had a lot of large equipment that would be our best bet in getting this done safely. I was surprised to see how quick and precise the team was and watched in awe as trees floated over our house. I am happy to note we have no new skylights! Highly recommended!
They were quick to arrive after I called and provided a reasonable quote for the work. They showed up early the following morning, and were done by 11:30. Itβs fun to watch them work, they are a well oiled machine.
I woke up to a fallen tree in my backyard after that wind storm the other day.
