Cotton Tree Service describes itself on its own website as a family-owned and operated business providing tree services in Northampton, MA and throughout the Pioneer Valley since 1956. Its Better Business Bureau profile describes tree services including pruning, removal, planting, cabling, fertilizing, land clearing and stump grinding. A recent customer says the team helped cable and save a few favorite trees and cleaned up so well you couldn't tell they were there. A 2025 customer said the company removed a tree that was down in the yard, chopped it up and placed the pieces in the woods. A 2025 reviewer wrote that the company removed 5 trees from the property on two separate occasions with heavy equipment without damaging the lawn, and that the owner, Tom, was on site to operate the large crane. A 2022 customer said Dave Cotton and his team took down a 150+ year old tree that was dangling over the home, over the course of a few days. A 2018 customer said Dave was at the home within 20 minutes when a tree was leaning toward the house and propane tank, and that he safely completed cutting it down. A 2018 gazettenet.com piece describes Cotton as an arborist who owns Cotton Tree Service in Northampton. In 2017, gazettenet.com reported on a lawsuit brought by Cotton Tree Service Inc. against the town of Westhampton over a special permit to run a sawmill that the Planning Board had denied.

The team was amazing, helping to cable and save a few of my favorite trees. They were wonderful, polite and when they left you couldn’t even tell they were there with the incredible clean up job they did. Highly recommended!
They did exactly what I asked, cleaned up everything phenomenally. They were pleasant and very respectful of my property. I could ask questions and they would answer
I had a tree down in my yard, Cotton Tree Service did a tremendous job in removing it, chopping it up, and placing the pieces in a good spot in my woods. The service was prompt and thorough. And as an added bonus, such nice and knowledgeable people too!
I wish I could give Cotton Tree Service more than five stars. They have removed 5 trees from our property on two separate occasions. Four were over 30 feet tall. All the trees were removed carefully and professionally with heavy equipment and yet our lawn was not damaged. The hard working crew was very polite, professional and knowledgeable. The owner Tom was on site to operate the large crane and his skill was amazing to watch. There will be more tree removal in our future and Cotton Tree Service will be the only one we will call. I highly recommend them.
