Hansen Landscape & Tree Service

Hansen Tree (doing business as Hansen Landscape & Tree Service) is a family-owned tree care company based in Halifax, MA, serving Halifax and nearby South Shore towns including Hanson, Plymouth, Pembroke, Kingston, Duxbury, Marshfield, Bridgewater, and Middleboro. The company says it has been in business for over 40 years, offering tree removal, trimming and pruning, stump grinding, hazardous and storm-damage removal, and crane service for large or awkward jobs. Across dozens of reviews on Angi and HomeAdvisor (4.6 stars over 47 ratings on each platform, and Google shows 4.7 from 120 ratings), the majority of customers describe a responsive, professional crew, with several 2021–2023 reviews naming crew manager Brian (Bryan) Connolly directly — including one customer who called him to remove a dangerous, partially uprooted tree ahead of an incoming storm and had it cut down the same afternoon. Multiple reviewers praise the crew's cleanup, care around wires and lawns, and use of ground mats to protect property during large removals. The record isn't uniformly positive. In a November 2023 review, a customer described a miscommunication with a crew that didn't speak English well, resulting in a tree being topped incorrectly and likely killed — the company reportedly offered to remove it for free if it dies. A separate October 2021 review describes a job that was never completed and no follow-up call. One 2021 reviewer also noted the crew arrived about a month later than the lead time originally quoted, though the finished work and cleanup were praised. Before booking, it's worth confirming the current crew's English proficiency if that matters for on-site instructions, and getting a firm start date given at least one report of scheduling running well past the quoted lead time. Hansen Tree looks like a solid choice for South Shore homeowners needing tree removal or storm-damage response, backed by a long track record and mostly strong reviews — just be clear about instructions on-site and confirm the timeline before committing.
