Forest Keepers

Forest Keepers is a Cape Cod tree service company offering pruning, removal, cabling and bracing, stump grinding, and lot clearing across Cape Cod and onto the South Shore, including Plymouth. The track record here spans more than a decade and is largely strong. Reviewers from 2014 through early 2026 consistently praise the crew for punctuality, thorough cleanup, and fair pricing — several describe difficult jobs (a large tree removed from a roof after storm damage, spruce trees near power lines during a hard Cape Cod winter, trees taken down in tight spots) handled with care and without damage to surrounding property. More than one reviewer reports using the company repeatedly over many years, including one who describes twenty years of service. That said, the record isn't spotless. A cluster of complaints from 2022 describes real service lapses: one reviewer says the crew arrived understaffed and under-equipped for a job with three large spruces, and another reports pruning done at the wrong time of year on the company's own suggestion, followed by an eight-month wait for a returned call. A 2016 review separately describes a damaged tree during removal and an unresponsive owner — though later positive reviews from 2017 through 2019 instead name a different point of contact, so it isn't clear whether that reflects a change in ownership or simply a different staff member handling the account. Google shows a 4.2-star average from 29 ratings, consistent with the broader pattern of strong, detailed praise alongside a handful of genuine service complaints concentrated in specific years rather than spread evenly across the company's history. Anyone booking tree work with Forest Keepers, especially larger or multi-tree jobs, should confirm crew size and equipment for the scope of work upfront and ask about current response times for follow-up calls.
