SkyHook Tree

SkyHook Tree is a Worcester County, Massachusetts tree service run out of South Grafton, offering removal, trimming, brush clearing and stump grinding, with owner Jason Magnusson named in local news coverage stretching back to at least 2011. The company describes serving the area since 1953, and BBB separately lists a 1955 start with new ownership since 2000; BBB has no rating for the business, saying it lacks sufficient information to issue one. The written record is strong and recent: 12 reviews from 2024 through August 2026, all five stars, with several customers naming Jason directly for quick, careful work. In a February 2026 review, a homeowner described a close call after their own attempt to cut down a tree left it half-cut and leaning toward the house — Jason and a colleague arrived within an hour and finished the job safely. In an April 2025 review, a customer said the crew cut down three large trees in under three hours and beat two competing quotes; in an October 2025 review, another described the crew responding within two days to remove a tree leaning toward a neighbor's property. A 2016 news article and a 2023 Reddit post about the company in nearby Sutton both describe it favorably, and a 2011 news article described the company as busy as ever cleaning up after a storm. The company's own site gives two different tenure claims — serving the area since 1953 on one page and 'over 30 years of experience' on another — so the exact history isn't fully consistent; a 2025 profile piece also credits the company's founding to someone named Helge, while news coverage since 2011 has named Jason Magnusson as owner. For routine tree removal, trimming, or an urgent situation with a tree already coming down, this company has a strong, well-documented local track record in the South Grafton and Worcester County area; the exact founding history is worth asking about directly if that matters to you, but it doesn't bear on the quality of recent work.
