Barnes Tree Service, Inc.

Barnes Tree Service is a full-service tree care company based in Rochester, MA, doing pruning, tree removal, stump grinding, utility line clearance, log and brush removal and vegetation mowing for commercial, municipal and residential clients across Southeastern Massachusetts and parts of the South Shore. The Better Business Bureau has accredited the company since November 1999 with an A+ rating; the BBB profile lists 61 years in business, 51 employees, two Rochester locations, general manager Kim Fleurent, and describes it as a fully insured TCIA-accredited utility contractor that also runs a Stihl dealership. The company states it has certified utility line tree clearance arborists on staff. Barnes Tree Service traces back to a 1966 purchase by Dan Mullens from the late Carl S. Barnes, and a 2020 trade-magazine article described sisters Kim Fleurent and Brenda Sylvia taking over ownership of their father's tree care business. A 2012 news account described two of its crews assisting the Taunton Municipal Lighting Plant ahead of Hurricane Sandy. For tree removal, pruning, stump grinding or utility line clearance work in the Rochester area and Southeastern Massachusetts, Barnes' long operating history, BBB rating and TCIA accreditation are worth weighing alongside current pricing and scheduling.
