CFB Newton Tree Services

"THIS GUY IS THE KING OF TREE COMPANIES," one Newton customer wrote about CFB Tree Service — and the specifics in review after review back it up. The company says it's based in Webster, Massachusetts, with 33 years in tree work, covering a stretch of Central Massachusetts and MetroWest that includes Webster, Worcester, Upton, Newton, Dudley, and Thompson, Connecticut. The reviews keep crediting the same person, Nathan, by name, for handling technically demanding jobs: in an August 2025 review, a customer described him and his crew removing 60-to-80-foot oaks with very little room to operate, working with what they called great precision and safety. Days earlier, in an early-August 2025 review, another reviewer had Nathan and a crewmate lower a large pine close to the house without damaging it or nearby shrubs, on a job that started the day after the estimate. That next-day turnaround comes up more than once — a July 2025 review describes a full yard of tree cutting scheduled for the very next day after the first call. What stands out beyond the technical work is the honesty reviewers describe. One customer, writing in July 2025, said they'd had Nathan take care of their trees for over 20 years and that on two occasions he'd come out just to tell them the trees didn't need any work at all. In an older 2022 review, a homeowner described calling around for an arborist when a cat got stuck in a tree, and said Nathan talked them through free advice on getting the cat down instead of sending a crew out to charge for it. All twelve Google ratings on file are five stars, and the reviews span 2022 through 2025 without a sour note in the bunch. One thing worth confirming when calling: the company's home base is Webster, on the far side of the six-town area it says it covers, so it's worth asking about scheduling and response time specifically for a Newton address. CFB looks like the right call for tree work that's more than routine trimming — a large or awkwardly placed tree, storm-adjacent urgency, or a homeowner who wants an arborist willing to say no when nothing needs doing.
