Greenstar Tree (Ben) did an amazing job!!! They trimmed several very large trees in our backyard. They were very interactive. Ben really knows about trees. Additionally, they did a lot of little extras at no charge. I highly recommend them!!

I have used Ben and his team for two projects: 1. a major tree removal off Boylston St. and 2. significant pruning of Maple trees over my house and over my neighbors houses. I found Ben and his team to be very professional and I like knowing I am supporting a local JP area business. Ben is very open and honest…

Ben and Greenstar are exemplary. Ben really cares about trees and is wise in his approach, using thoughtful consideration to remove only what's necessary for the health of the tree. He is also a very nice guy.

Ben is very knowledgeable of trees. This was obvious when we first met for an estimate. They removed two medium trees and pruned 3 beautiful old Magnolias. Ben showed he is highly experienced in tree removal and his crew were professional and cleaned up as they worked. I highly recommend Greenstar Tree.

Ben clearly loves trees, and he and his team did a fantastic job! We had a large maple that had become dangerous, and he was so thoughtful about how to prune it back. As he got into the project, he realized it would need more work than he thought, so he and the team came back the next day and completed the job at no extra charge. Highly recommended!

Greenstar Tree should be renamed “The Tree Whisperer.” We have a Maple (the size of Rhode Island!) that Greenstar has been "saving" for 12 years now. It’s a very complex tree whose branches infringe on a neighbor’s property. Ben Dushku takes a personal interest—“I love that tree,” he has said on numerous…

Ben and his crew helped us out in a pinch to remove a dangerously storm-damaged branch on short notice and did an excellent job - we'll be happily using them again!

Ben and team did a great job. We had 5 very large trees that needed substantial pruning high up and one that needed cabling. They did a great job making the trees safe while still preserving screening from neighbors and making the trees look good. They were well equipped with a bucket truck and a chipper and also…

After a recent storm, we noticed some branches close to power lines and the road had cracked. I tried to call other companies, but no luck. A neighbor suggested Ben and I was able to quickly get a hold of him and his team, schedule an estimate, and schedule the work within a matter of days. His team showed up on…
