Both services are essential for maintaining healthy, safe trees on residential and commercial properties in Connecticut.

WHAT WE CAN DO FOR YOU

When you choose Erick’s Tree Services, you get a complete, done-for-you service tailored to your trees:

Crown Trimming & Thinning — We selectively remove interior branches from the canopy to improve light penetration, increase airflow, and reduce weight on major limbs extending the life of your trees.

Deadwood Removal — Dead, dying, or diseased branches are identified and removed before they fall. A single dead limb can weigh hundreds of pounds; our team eliminates the risk before it becomes a problem.

Crown Reduction — We carefully reduce the overall height and spread of the canopy while preserving the tree’s natural shape. Crown reduction improves structural stability and reduces wind resistance during Connecticut’s storm season.

Hazard Pruning — Branches growing toward power lines, rooflines, gutters, fences, or neighboring structures are removed before they cause damage. We coordinate with local utilities when work is within safe distance of power infrastructure.

Clean-Up & Debris Disposal — All cut branches, leaves, and debris are cleared from your property. We can chip material into mulch on request for use in your garden beds at no extra charge.

What Our Customers Are Saying

See why our customers across Jamaica Plain and Suffolk County trust Greenstar Tree.

Tree Removal

“Erick’s Tree Service handled a very difficult tree removal project in our backyard, and the results were outstanding. The tree was extremely large and located close to our fence, garage, and power lines, but the crew managed everything safely and efficiently. Their equipment was impressive, and the entire process was handled with a high level of professionalism. We couldn’t be happier with the service we received.”

Michael R.

Pruning & Trimming

“Ben and Will went above and beyond what I expected! Living in south boston i thought it was gonna be impossible to prune the tree in the back of my property due to the closed in nature of my house. It was amazing to see what they could do and how they managed to accomplish so much within such a confined area. I would give Greenstar tree 10 stars if possible and will be recommending them to all my neighbors here in southie! Thanks again Ben!”

Jeffrey F.

Cabling & Bracing

“Ben and Noah did amazing work at a fair price. I had multiple very tall trees in hard-to-access locations and on top of power lines that they trimmed back from my roof and siding. They were kind and professional and made sure to explain the work they would do and any advice on how to handle each of the trees in the future. I highly recommend and will be using Greenstar’s services moving forward.”

Nick M.

Tree Removal

“I had a great experience with Green Star Tree out of Jamaica Plain. Ben was able to schedule me almost immediately after our initial conversation for a tree that had fallen in my driveway onto two vehicles.
He was professional, efficient, and very reasonably priced. Ben went above and beyond, and Will was also fantastic—kind, helpful, and just as dedicated to getting the job done right.
They did an excellent job, and I will definitely be hiring them again for future work. I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of reliable tree work.

Deniqua L.

Pruning & Trimming

“I love working with Ben because he is super easy to deal with, wicked honest, and just an all around happy guy. He’s the most experienced tree guy I have ever met who is still working hard out there and I’ve been in the landscaping and tree industry for twenty six years myself !”

Andrew B.

Cabling & Bracing

“Ben and Bertram did a wonderful job for us. The hard to reach branches of our oak were expertly pruned and our very large dead cherry was removed. All the wood was hauled away and they left our yard in grade a condition. Also, Ben took the time to explain why he pruned in the manner he did. His expertise was very helpful throughout.”

Makeit G.

Pruning & Trimming

“Greenstar tree did an excellent job pruning several trees in my yard including my beloved red bud. Ben and his crew are incredibly hard working. They took great care to protect my perennial garden and offered excellent advice on what should be pruned, removed, and maintained. We are very pleased.”

Kate C.

Arborist

Five Stars! The Greenstar team offers high-quality, highly responsive, expert and professional services. We have towering hemlocks in our backyard and love how they make our yard feel like a secret garden. Ben was highly knowledgeable and took great care to balance the need to prune for vigorous health and preserve tree cover in the canopy. He also expertly tackled some other trees that have grown sideways over the years. Ben is a true pro! We felt our trees were in great hands and highly recommend Greenstar.

What is Tree Cabling and Bracing?

Tree Cabling and Bracing is a structural support system used to help stabilize weak, damaged, or vulnerable trees. Steel cables and support rods are installed to reduce stress on weak limbs and improve the overall stability of the tree.

What is the difference between tree trimming and tree pruning?

Tree trimming in connecticut focuses on maintaining a tree’s shape and appearance by cutting back overgrown branches. Tree pruning targets the tree’s health and safety, removing dead, diseased, or structurally weak branches to promote stronger growth and reduce hazard risks. Most professional tree care jobs in Connecticut include elements of both.

How often should trees be trimmed or pruned in Connecticut?

Most trees benefit from professional care every 1 to 3 years. Fast-growing species like willows and poplars may need attention annually. Slower-growing hardwoods like oaks and maples can typically go 2 to 3 years between pruning cycles. Our arborists will recommend a schedule tailored to your specific trees after an on-site assessment.

When is the best time to trim or prune trees in Connecticut?

Late winter to early spring just before new growth begins is the optimal window for most tree species in Connecticut. This timing minimizes stress on the tree and limits exposure to pests and fungal disease. Dead or hazardous branches should be removed immediately, regardless of season.

Can improper pruning damage or kill a tree?

Yes. Flush cuts, topping, removing more than 25% of the canopy at once, or pruning during the wrong season can permanently weaken a tree’s structure, invite disease, or cause irreversible decline. This is why working with a certified arborist (not a general landscaper) matters. Erick’s Tree Services follows ANSI A300 pruning standards on every job.

Do you prune trees near power lines in Connecticut?

Yes. Our team is trained and equipped to prune branches growing near power lines. When work falls within utility company right-of-way or within prescribed safety distances, we coordinate with the local utility provider to ensure all work is completed safely and in compliance with Connecticut regulations.

How much does tree trimming & pruning cost in Connecticut?

Professional Tree Pruning in Connecticut typically costs between $150 and $1,500+, depending on tree height, canopy density, number of trees, and site access. Most standard residential jobs fall in the $300–$700 range. We provide free on-site estimates, our arborist will walk your property and give you a detailed written quote before any work begins.
