Colonial Tree Service

So these guys have two offices and I think the main one is in Randolph (not Braintree, although they do have an office in Braintree). They do their (free) estimates on Saturday and then do the work through the rest of the week. They came out as they said they would on Saturday and took a look around and gave me what were reasonable quotes (as in, «in the ballpark of what I was thinking»). Two trees, backyard, a bunch of dead branches for $ 350 and we didn’t need it, but we got a dead oak tree estimated — $ 650. For some odd reason, we either didn’t get call backs from other businesses or they didn’t service Braintree.
They came back as they said they would (it was about 2 weeks between estimate and service) and they were early. I forgot to leave them a check but they did the removal and I mailed in the check. Would definitely use them again. The person who owned the house before me hired them as well. They are pretty busy as they get a decent amount of business.
Estimates are going to be lower for front yard /​easier removals and higher for more difficult jobs (to be expected).
Very professional and friendly as well.

Very professional and friendly.
They were mindful to take care of my driveway with the large crane they brought on site. They brought plywood to put down since I asked them too.
I looked at several other companies for a price but they were by far the cheapest. Owner was really friendly and I could tell he really enjoys doing this type of work.
Several neighbors wanted free wood chips, and they got plenty, by the truck full for use in their gardens and yards.
Best prices around. I would highly recommend this company. I referred family members to use them too based on our satisfaction with their work.

Had 5 dead standing trees taken out by Colonial towards the end of last year and I have to say they do good work for the price. They cleaned up the area quite well before they left. Put the cut up dead trees where I wanted them to be put. And to top it off they were roughly 325 cheaper than the quote I got from another tree removal company.
The only reason they are 4 stars instead of 5 was because I saw a worker refilling his chainsaw, with what I think was gas, while smoking. That didn’t seem to be the safest thing in the world to be doing.

I have been meaning to write a review for these guys for quite some time. Back in June of 2011 we decided to take out a HUGE maple tree, I called several places in the Braintree, Quincy and Weymouth area and got 3 quotes. Willy from Colonial Tree Service came out within 24 hours of the call and gave us an estimate on the spot. They were the least expensive and one of the few places I didn’t have to call several times to get someone to answer the phone. We had them come out about a month later (they were very busy being summer time and all) and they did a fantastic job. When I got home from work everything was quite tidy, no mess and a huge tree was gone. During the process our neighbors gutter got damaged, and they went right over, talked to them and made it right, paying for the repair whenever my neighbor wanted to have it fixed. I highly recommend them for your tree removal needs.

This company met and exceeded all my needs. They were timely, polite, efficient and affordable. I cannot even tell that the ugly tree from my backyard ever was there and my neighbors have even remarked on how fast it happened and how good it looks. As a working professional I really appreciated the staff telling me when my service would be scheduled and that it was weather dependent. Rain did threaten to delay the tree removal but the company called me to let me know every step of the way. I do not feel they gave me a bunch of BS or string me along in any way. I would highly recommend them.

During tropical storm Irene my husband and I had a huge 50 foot tree fall on our home. We called Colonial Tree at 12:00 during the thick of the storm to have the tree removed to prevent further damage to our home. We were told someone would be out that day to view the damage and remove the tree. At 3:30 I called for an update, I was assured someone would be out that day. At 9:00 no calls, no show. I left a voice mail requesting a call in the morning with an update. We received a call in the morning stating they are busy but they would make it out that day, probably later in the afternoon. We took the day off of work, and waited and waited. I received a call late that afternoon saying they were busy and could not make it out until Tuesday. Meanwhile I have a massive tree pressing my home inside of my attic. I understand in emergency situations there are many people calling that need service. However, I cannot understand why they would tell us they would provide help and keep pushing us off. They were great and friendly on the phone but their lack of followup and keeping their word could be improved.

THESE GUYS ARE TRULY AMAZING!!! We’ve used them twice already! Both times we’ve used them we went with 4 different quotes.
They were the cheapest by 600.00 dollars AT LEAST! OK. I’m not sure how they do it. But, they do. They are professional. They are on time. They are Awesome! OH. and they’re cute, too. Yes, a little added bonus to watch them out your window. Shhh. Don’t tell my husband.
All the trees are gone off my property now… I’m sort of sad. I won’t be seeing Colonial Tree ever again… But, YOU CAN! You’ll be happy you did. Tell them the Mimosa tree lady sent you.
