Tree Service in Shrewsbury, MA
As a full-service tree company in Shrewsbury, MA, we handle the work your property needs from one season to the next. Our services include tree removal services, tree pruning and trimming, stump grinding, hazardous tree evaluation, storm damage cleanup, and land clearing.
Shrewsbury’s uneven and hilly terrain calls for experienced crews and the right equipment, especially for the area’s mature hardwoods. Many local properties feature northern red oak, red maple, sugar maple, eastern white pine, hemlock, and white ash.
These species face real pest pressure across Central Massachusetts, so we evaluate every tree for signs of disease, decay, or stress before recommending work.
Tree Removal Services
Tree removal becomes necessary when a tree is dead, leaning toward a structure, storm-damaged, infested with Asian longhorned beetle, or in the way of new construction. Our crew has the equipment and certification to take down trees of any size, including large oaks and white pines close to homes. For tight spots and tall removals on Shrewsbury’s hillside lots, we use crane-assisted tree removal to lift sections out cleanly.
Mature trees in this area have stood through events like the 1953 Worcester Tornado, which crossed Shrewsbury and left deep marks on the local tree canopy. That history is part of why professional assessment matters before any major removal. We also recommend checking the Town of Shrewsbury’s website for any local tree ordinances before scheduling work.
Tree Trimming in Shrewsbury, MA
Healthy mature hardwoods don’t take care of themselves. Our tree trimming covers structural pruning for shape and strength, crown thinning to reduce wind resistance, deadwood removal, and view clearance for Lake Quinsigamond waterfront properties. Utility clearance along Route 9 and the Hartford Turnpike falls into our regular work, too.
Established residential neighborhoods across Shrewsbury are full of street trees that benefit from regular professional pruning. A Massachusetts Certified Arborist on our team will assess the tree, explain what’s needed, and tell you what to leave alone.
Storm Damage Cleanup & Emergency Tree Service
Our emergency storm cleanup work includes tree removal, debris cleanup, and stabilization of damaged trees. Crane operators and expert tree climbers are ready to deploy when you call.
Asian Longhorned Beetle & Tree Health in Shrewsbury
Worcester County was the original Asian longhorned beetle (ALB) quarantine zone in Massachusetts, and Shrewsbury sits inside that footprint. If you notice round exit holes in the trunk, unexplained crown dieback, or sap weeping from your maples, ash, or birch, get a professional hazardous tree evaluation.
We also watch for emerald ash borer, hemlock woolly adelgid, and beech leaf disease across Central MA. A certified arborist in Shrewsbury, MA, from our team can walk your property, identify what’s happening, and recommend the next step.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does tree removal cost in Shrewsbury, MA?
Every estimate is different. Tree removal cost depends on the size and species of the tree, its location on your property, accessibility for our equipment, the complexity of the takedown, and whether stump grinding or debris haul-away is included. Every consultation with Foppema Tree Care is free and conducted on-site by a Massachusetts Certified Arborist.
Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Shrewsbury?
Local rules vary. Check the Town of Shrewsbury’s website or call the town offices before scheduling work, especially for trees in the public right-of-way, scenic road areas, or sites with environmental restrictions. We can help you understand what’s needed once we’ve assessed the tree.
What is the Asian longhorned beetle, and how does it affect Shrewsbury trees?
Asian longhorned beetle (ALB) is an invasive insect that bores into hardwood trees and kills them over time, and Worcester County was the original ALB quarantine zone in Massachusetts. Maples, ash, birch, willow, and elm are the most at-risk species. If you spot round exit holes, sawdust at the base of a tree, or crown dieback, call us for an evaluation.
