Need to remove a tree or shrub because its outgrown its space, become unhealthy or you simply have other plans for your landscape?

I have spent over a decade studying trees and landscape management in various capacities. I studied Forestry at Virginia Tech and first discovered tree climbing as a profession while there. I pursued horticultural training from the US National Arboretum and Arnold Arboretum and then worked at the Trustees of Reservations for many years on the North Shore of Massachusetts.

They did a great job with trees on our property. Charlotte and her team were professional and easy to work with from the get go, and everything was cleaned up properly when job was done. Thank you to everyone at Spruced Up, I would definitely work with them again and have already recommended to my neighbors.

Charlotte and her workers did a terrific job removing a dead cherry tree and pruning of a large paulownia tree; they were extremely careful not to damage surrounding plants and bushes. She was knowledgeable, professional and a delight to do business with; her price was very reasonable and I'd definitely use again and highly recommend.

Charlotte was at my property for 2 days, clearing a wooded area of invasive vines that were not only ugly, but strangling healthy shrubs and trees on my lot. As an arborist, she brings great skill in identifying what needs to come down, pruned or simply cleaned up. She also applied pesticide as needed and recommended a limited on-going spray program to keep the vines at bay. Highly recommend Charlotte!

Charlotte recently trimmed our locust and cherry tree in our front and side gardens in Marblehead, MA. She responded to our inquiry quickly and knowledgeably with a fair and reasonable quote. She and Andrew did a fantastic job. Charlotte is a rare and remarkable professional female tree climber, certified arborist and horticulturist. Her company Spruced Up Tree & Shrub is fully licensed and insured. I highly recommend her and would definitely be a repeat customer.

Yesterday Spruced Up Tree removed several hefty dead branches from my HUGE ash tree. Today Charlotte came to tell me (and show me) that she had diagnosed the tree to be completely infested with emerald ash borer. The tree will likely be dead in 3-4 years and really should be taken down. I really appreciate the extra time that Charlotte took to diagnose this and to let me know what to expect. Charlotte is a real expert and her tree passion shows!

From the front, side, to the rear of the house, all the trees & tall bushes were trimmed cleanly and efficiently. She makes it look so easy! I like the fact that she cares about the trees' overall health and try to educate her client about it. Her quote is very reasonable and she cleaned up everything nicely. I would definitely use Charlotte again! Highly recommend Spruced Up!

I needed to have three trees pruned because their lower limbs were touching my building. I wanted them to look natural, afterwards, not savaged. Charlotte responded promptly, listened to my concerns and did a fine job.
She was pleasant and professional. I recommend her highly, and I plan to call on her expertise again when my trees need attention.
