Nickerson Tree & Landscape

Nickerson Tree & Landscape is a landscaping and tree care company based at 136 George Ryder Road in Chatham, serving the lower Cape towns of Chatham, Harwich, Brewster, and Orleans. The business describes itself as fully insured and locally rooted, offering seasonal cleanups, mowing, hedge trimming, irrigation, new lawn installation, and tree pruning alongside patio, walkway, and retaining-wall work. The Better Business Bureau lists the company with an A+ letter grade (it is not a BBB-accredited business) and records 21 years in business. A 2024 Google review backs that longevity with praise for tree-cutting and snow-plowing work, calling it friendly, timely, affordable, and reliable. More recently, a self-described 21-year customer left a detailed 2026 Google review describing a sharp decline in service and prices that nearly doubled, and said hydrangeas at their property were pruned so poorly the plants will not flower this year, after paying over $11,000 for work on a relatively small lot. A shortened version of the same complaint also appears on the business's BBB profile. Anyone considering this business today should ask directly about current pricing and about who will be doing pruning and trimming work, given the gap between the older praise and the newer complaint.
