Morrison Landscaping

Morrison Tree & Landscape Services (branded here as Morrison Landscaping) is a family-run tree care and landscaping company based in Lexington, Massachusetts, with a second office in Townsend, serving Massachusetts and Southern New Hampshire. The business was founded in 2005 by Philip Morrison Sr. and is now run by his son, Philip Morrison Jr., a graduate of UMass Amherst's Stockbridge School of Agriculture; the company states it keeps MA-licensed and ISA-certified arborists on staff. Homeowners who hired the crew consistently describe fast, careful tree work, even in demanding conditions. In a 2022 review, a customer said the crew removed roughly eight 100-foot pine trees close to the house in a single day without incident; another 2022 review described 15 trees removed in one day at a good value with prompt, professional communication. A 2023 review recounted the crew clearing three large pines and a large volume of debris after a severe thunderstorm microburst, smoothing the grassy areas afterward. More recent reviews describe precise work near sensitive areas — pruning branches to protect a planned pond, trimming a tree shadowing a vegetable garden, and removing trees encroaching on power lines and a barn without damaging the property. Pricing and professionalism come up often and favorably: reviewers across several years call the crew's pricing fair and their quotes honest, several say they were referred by neighbors or would call again, and more than one mentions the site being left cleaner than it was found. No negative reviews are on file across the eleven captured, spanning 2022 through mid-2024. Morrison's own site frames the company as a tree-care specialist that also offers landscape design and hardscape work (patios, walkways, retaining walls) plus free estimates, though none of the reviews on file specifically describe landscape design or hardscape jobs — the documented track record is almost entirely tree removal, pruning and storm cleanup. Anyone hiring for landscape design specifically should ask to see recent examples of that side of the business. Otherwise, this is a well-reviewed, long-established tree service with a strong, consistent multi-year record.
