Ladner Tree Service

Call Ladner Tree Service on Cape Cod and the same name comes up review after review: Matt. The Sandwich-based, family-run outfit handles tree removal, pruning, stump grinding and land clearing across Cape Cod and Plymouth, with owner Matt Ladner — a certified arborist with an ISA affiliation and an arboriculture degree from Paul Smith's College — running the crew himself. The company's own About page lists a 2022 founding date, though its marketing separately claims over a decade of experience. That's likely Matt's years working in his father's landscaping business before he started this company on his own, not this company's own age — worth keeping in mind against a March 2026 review claiming "over 10 years" with them. Google shows 4.8 stars from 19 ratings, and the specifics keep pointing the same way. A June 2026 review described Matt clearing dead and storm-weakened trees; when a major storm hit eight months later, that yard was the one left standing while neighbors' trees came down. Another reviewer had 15 trees and brush removed on the date promised, with a cleanup thorough enough that a neighbor hired the crew on the spot. Sixteen of the eighteen reviews on file landed in the past six months, and the through-line across nearly all of them is on-time arrival, fair pricing, and a clean yard when the crew leaves. The one exception: a May 2026 review from a customer's family member reported a crew member smoking and being disrespectful on the job, while still saying the rest of the crew did the work properly. Worth asking who's actually on your crew. For storm cleanup, dead-tree removal, or land clearing anywhere on the Cape, this is a company homeowners in Sandwich and nearby keep calling back — just confirm the founding-date discrepancy and who's swinging the chainsaw before booking.
