Mackenzie Tree Service

Ninety-four Google ratings and eighteen more on Thumbtack land on the exact same number — 5.0 — for this Brewster-based tree crew, and one name comes up in nearly every review: Geoff Mackenzie. The jobs described are often substantial. A recent review recounts Geoff himself climbing the taller of two giant pines that were threatening a homeowner's house, bringing both down without touching the power lines nearby. In a 2023 review, another customer describes his crew felling five pitch pines riddled with borers — one beside a stockade fence, another next to the power line running to the house — with a bucket truck doing the tricky reach work and a clean finish behind it. A 2022 review describes a similar job on six 40-foot pines between a house and road, with the crew sweeping even the roadway clean before leaving. Storms bring the crew's responsiveness into sharper focus. After Cape blizzards left customers with fallen or split limbs, several recent reviews describe Geoff or his crew calling back within minutes and arriving the next morning to clear the damage. In a late-2025 review, an Osterville homeowner describes an eleven-tree removal where a stump grinder problem came up mid-job — the crew came back to finish it and kept in touch the whole time. Reviews running from 2021 through 2026 also show a lot of repeat business, with homeowners hiring the crew a second or third time and citing time estimates and prices that held from quote to invoice. The one real blemish is a 2023 review describing a scope dispute: the customer says Geoff arrived to clear a vista and remove a few trees, decided part of the discussed work fell outside the agreed scope, and after a disagreement over the extra cost, texted that he was pulling off the job without finishing it or returning a follow-up call. It sits against dozens of jobs that closed cleanly, but it's worth pinning down the exact scope and price before the crew shows up, especially on anything with add-on requests. For routine pruning, technical removals near power lines, or clearing a heavily wooded lot, this is a crew Cape homeowners keep calling back — get the scope agreed in writing up front, and most of these reviews suggest the rest goes smoothly.
