Highlights
- Fast response — quotes and crews often arrive within a day or two
- Big-tree experience — safely removed a massive, rotted 100-year-old maple
- Thorough cleanup — crews clear debris and grind stumps after removal
- Scheduling delay — one 2022 review mentioned a slow callback
Darden Tree & Landscaping LLC is a Hyde Park tree service — Google currently shows it at 4 stars from 20 ratings. The company says owner Thomas Darden has been a professional arborist since 1992, and grew the business into what's now Darden's Tree and Landscaping starting in 1999. Its site also lists lawn and garden maintenance and snow removal, though everything reviewers describe is tree work — removals, storm cleanup, and stump grinding. In a 2023 review, a customer described a 100-plus-year-old maple, its trunk five feet across and rotted through at the core, that Darden's crew took three days to safely bring down beside the house, cleaning up debris each day and grinding the stump and roots afterward. Response time comes up often, too: in a January 2026 review, a homeowner whose fence had been damaged by a falling tree said Darden came out right away, quoted the job on the spot, and had the trees and stumps cleared within a day or so, and a December 2025 review described a similar quick turnaround — trees down within a week over the winter holidays, after months of waiting on other arborists. The record here is thin — eight reviews on file, most from 2022 to 2023, plus two from the past year. One is a bare "Ok" with no detail, and a 2022 review said they were still waiting on a callback to schedule an appointment, though the same reviewer said they enjoyed talking with Darden in person about his experience. For tree removal, storm cleanup, or stump grinding around Hyde Park and Boston, Darden's is worth a call — the company says it offers 24-hour emergency tree service, and past customers describe fast quotes and crews. With only eight reviews on file, it's worth confirming current scheduling before you commit to a date.
