Jose Landscaping & Tree Removal

Jose Landscaping & Tree Removal is a Massachusetts tree crew reviewers describe calling in a scramble — a leaning tree over the house, storm damage in the yard, a hazard that can't wait — and getting Jose on the phone or at the door within a day. The name promises landscaping too, and the Better Business Bureau lists the company under landscape contracting, but the reviews on file are almost entirely about the fast, physical work of getting trees down and yards clear. The most recent reviews, from earlier this year, describe the same experience: good communication and a quote, a hemlock and three cedars taken down along with a magnolia trim exactly as scheduled, and a job completed right after the customer signs off. That matches the deeper record — 30 reviews across HomeAdvisor and Angi since 2021, with HomeAdvisor rating the company 4.7★ from 222 ratings and Angi 4.7★ from 208. In a 2021 review, a crew removed twelve storm-damaged trees the day after being called; a 2023 review describes taking down a 65-foot locust, a maple, and several bushes with the yard cleared by noon; another 2023 account praises the crew working around wires on two sides of a property and a house on the third without incident. The one exception to an otherwise clean record: in a 2022 Angi review, a customer describes being asked to pay more than the quoted price, saying $700 was still owed months later despite the company agreeing to it and repeated promises to send it. It's a single account in a five-year history, but worth nailing down — get the final number confirmed, in writing, before the crew starts. This is the crew to call for a tree that needs to come down now, especially a dangerous one near a house, a neighbor's property, or overhead lines — not for a scheduled landscape-design project. Confirm the total price and what it covers, including stump grinding and haul-away, before booking.
