Pathfinder Tree Service, LLC

Pathfinder Tree Service, LLC works out of 2210 Providence Hwy in Walpole and covers a wide band of Norfolk County, Wrentham included. Lucas Carr is listed as owner and manager, and customers name him — along with Lisa in the office and crew members like Leo — directly in review after review. Big, awkward removals are what people hire them for. A 2026 customer described three 50-year-old trees coming out in a tight spot with barely a speck of sawdust left behind; a 2025 customer had seven large trees removed, stump grinding included, finished before 4pm; another had a crane used on the big trees and a climbable apple tree taken by hand, then a replacement tree chosen and planted on the owner's recommendation. A passer-by in 2025 watched the crew clear a storm-snapped tree on Beacon Street in Boston with a bucket truck, stump grinder and claw truck on site. Clean-up is the single most repeated compliment: several customers independently say you could not tell the crew had been there. Honesty gets mentioned too — a 2025 reviewer describes them flagging a hollow oak they had spotted while working next door, then talking through the pros and cons rather than pushing the job. The cautions are real and worth reading. In a February 2024 review a commercial customer said the company significantly overcharged for pruning and mulching, salted based on forecasts rather than conditions, and billed against inaccurate snowfall measurements — a complaint about the snow and landscaping side of the business rather than tree removal. A July 2026 reviewer left two stars with only the words 'Not professional.' Beyond the reviews, two public records sit on file. OSHA inspected a Pathfinder job site on Walnut Avenue in Norwood and issued five serious violations with an initial penalty of $18,726, later reduced to $5,000 across three current violations. Separately, a Massachusetts personal-injury case reported by VerdictSearch concerns a tree trimmer injured on his first day in 2011 in a borrowed bucket truck missing its control guard. Neither is a customer complaint, but both are worth knowing about a company whose work happens above your house. For a difficult removal or crane work around Walpole, Norwood and Wrentham the tree-side record is strong and consistent. If you are hiring for seasonal snow or landscaping contracts, agree the measurement and billing basis in writing first.
