New England Tree Experts is a Worcester-County tree service that homeowners hire for the jobs other crews turn down: big, dead or storm-damaged trees in tight spots. The owner, Greg Gicas, is named over and over by the people who hired him, going back to 2018.
The consistent thread across the record is heavy equipment used carefully. A homeowner writing in September 2023 needed a very tall dying tree removed that required a crane, was not home for the work, and came back to find the tree gone with no sign anyone had been in the yard. In a December 2021 account, five trees were lifted whole and intact from behind a house, over the house and over a neighbour's lawn, then chipped and cleared, with the street swept and reopened within the hour. In May 2025 a customer thanked the company and MM Tree Services together for taking down a 55,000-pound, 100-foot tree.
Cleanup and property protection come up in almost every account: driveways swept after overhanging branches were cut, lawns and gardens undamaged around a 60-foot spruce removal, no debris left behind. Several people describe crews of ten or more working in sync, and more than one says watching the job was the memorable part.
Response time is the other repeated theme. A homeowner in November 2025 emailed and had a quote, a schedule and a signed agreement inside twenty minutes, with the damaged limbs down in under thirty minutes on site. Another, in October 2025, had the job scheduled as soon as their insurer approved it. A March 2025 customer called on a Tuesday morning, got an estimate that afternoon and had a storm-damaged tree handled by Saturday. Repeat business is common — several reviewers are on their second, third or eighth year with the company.
On price, reviewers who compared quotes describe them as competitive rather than cheapest: an April 2026 customer called the pricing reasonable on a second job, a March 2026 one called them among the most reasonable in cost, and a September 2025 customer found the prices more than competitive.
The main thing to plan around is the scale of the operation. A December 2021 reviewer noted the street has to be blocked off and patrolled by a police officer while the crew works, and that several neighbours had driveway access blocked for about an hour. If your job needs a crane, ask up front how the street and access will be handled and warn your neighbours. One 2025 reviewer also mentions plow services alongside tree work, so ask directly if you want winter work.
