Edgar and Sons Tree Service

Edgar and Sons Tree Service is a family-run outfit -- a father and his sons -- working out of Massachusetts and into Southern New Hampshire, in towns the company names as Peabody, Lexington, Needham, Salem and Nashua. What started with one truck grew, by the company's own account, into a multi-truck crew over a few years. Tree work is the backbone of what people call them for, and the jobs that stick with reviewers are the tight, tricky ones. A Jamaica Plain homeowner describes a ten-tree job worked around power lines, a hill, a fence and expensive hardscaping, done over three days with the property cleaned each night, in a review from December 2024. A 2025 review recounts four large maple trees taken down and their stumps ground out in the narrow space between two houses without damaging either property, and another describes an 80-foot pine removed close to a house with no crane, after other companies said a crane was required. The crew also does landscaping and hardscaping. One 2026 review credits them with rebuilding a whole backyard after an in-ground pool removal -- a stone walkway, a new patio, sod -- and another with a new walkway and stairs. Google shows 176 ratings averaging 4.9 stars, and the written record on file runs 126 reviews from 2021 to 2026 across four sources; the last six months have kept that same shape, with 8 reviews and one negative among them. Not every job has gone smoothly. An August 2026 review describes a contract job left incomplete, with the owner unreachable through his assistant afterward. An earlier review from March 2026 describes a cleanup crew that never returned after being asked to finish a job site, and a June 2025 review describes a dispute over hourly billing and lunch-break time. These are a small minority against a long run of detailed praise, but worth asking about directly. For tree removal, pruning, stump grinding or a landscaping and hardscaping project in their coverage towns, the specificity in what customers describe -- safety around power lines and fences, same-day cleanup, matched quotes -- makes a strong case. Get the scope and hours in writing before the crew starts, and confirm who to call if a follow-up is needed.
