Marquis Tree Service did a great job at my home. They trimmed an 80 Ft Pine tree and shaped two ornamental trees. Very happy with the work. They also did a through clean up.
Marquis has been responsive, reliable, and pleasant. They educated me about tree diseases and took care of an infestation; they also did a neat job trimming some trees.
The crew came and did a great job for me, cleaned up the yard left it as they weren't there.
Best tree service around! Prices are fair, worker’s are great (on time, professional and neat) & office is prompt when answering questions / logistics. I’ll continue to use them (we have a lot of trees! 🌳 ) for all our tree 🌲 jobs. Thanks again! 🌴 -Liz
An arborist from Marquis came out to our house to give us an estimate, and took a variety of photos of the trees we needed pruned. He marked up the photos to show us where the pruning would occur, and we had a crew out here the following week. The team was incredible--they were all thoughtful and articulate, and…
Excellent. Major pruning of oak trees. Dead wood and light enhancement. Serious heights. Well done and balanced. Plus, extremely neat with work and protected grass. Delight to work with.
We’ve used Marquis several times. They do excellent work for a fair price. I trust John to evaluate our trees and come up with the best course of action.2026 update John recently got some new equipment that allowed his team to take down a damaged tree in a particularly hard to get to spot. I couldn’t be happier.
I have used Arborcare for many years and always been satisfied with their work. They are under new ownership now, and they are also doing an excellent job. After the big storm, a large branch had fallen on our front yard and they were able to come within an hour of my phone call and cut it and took away all the…
Marquis is truly best in class — professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and incredibly good at what they do. Beyond the quality of their work, they are simply great people who care about their customers, their employees, and doing things the right way. Their experience and attention to detail show from start to…
Very experienced team, and took extra care from my instructors. I will call again anytime and definitely refer anyone needs trees and bushes trimmed! Clean up was perfect, very professional!
Very quick response and estimate. Got the trees trimmed quickly and did a great job. Thank you!
We were very pleased with the services of Marquis Tree Service from start to finish and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. Every employee we had contact with was pleasant and responsive. The work was completed promptly and the crew cleaned up thoroughly.
Removed a giant Oak tree and a couple of large branches from another tree. Crew did a great job, cleaned up after they were done. Crane operator was excellent. They removed the tree trunk wood from our property the next business day. Stump grinding was done a couple of days later. All work was done on schedule and done well.
I had 20 foot hedges that surround my property trimmed as well as low hanging tree branches cut. I love the work they do. Very professional and courteous and I’m very happy with the outcome.
The crew arrived on time and did exactly what was requested. They left the yard spotless.
For the second time in 10 years, Marquis Tree has done an excellent job of trimming our trees, removing dead branches, and shaping every tree. We are 100% satisfied. Thank you Marquis team.
Excellent communication and professional service from start to finish. Thank You. JD
It was easy to make an estimate appointment and the service was scheduled efficiently. We found the price we paid was commensurate with the services provided. They showed up on time and cleaned up thoroughly.
Professional service throughout the process from diagnosis/quote to delivery to support from the office. Every company should operate at this level!!
I want to say that these guys are the best. They have fair pricing, they leave your yard completely cleaned up. They arrive on time and very kind and friendly. They are the best. They did stump grinding and we had about 7 dead or disease trees removed. We are also using them for pruning and ferilizing another tree in October.
Efficient, pleasant, reasonably priced. Well run operation.
I hired Marquis to trim back tree branches over hanging my roof & remove a dead tree. I was 100% pleased with them. The workers were friendly, informative, & hard working. My yard was left pristine. With the contract they gave me documentation of liability insurance, and of workman’s comp insurance. I’ve used…
Marquis Tree Service was amazing from start to finish! From the initial estimate to the completion of the job, everything was handled professionally and efficiently. Their pricing was very reasonable, and the quality of their work was excellent. The crew was incredibly professional, courteous, and considerate. They…
Technicians were friendly, taught me about rare trees on my own property, and ensured everything was cleaned up nicely when they left.
Great service all around! We needed a tree in front of our house trimmed/pruned. Marquis got someone sent to the house quickly and the team who performed the work did a very thorough and careful job. They really care about trees and doing the job correctly, which we really appreciated. We would definitely use again!
The Marquis team was a marvel - such skill and speed. We had 8 trees taken down in a rather cramped area of our yard. This posed no problems to this crew. We also appreciate that every every effort was taken to leave the sight clean. We would definitely recommend them for similar jobs.
Great work at a fair price, zero issues, and good communication. Will use again.
Total professionals - communicative throughout the process. Did an excellent job and cleaned up wonderfully. Pricing was competitive. Highly recommend.
Well organized,prompt, efficient, “job well done” company. Have used them several times and highly recommend .
Marquis has been tending my trees for twenty five years. When a tree gets too large, or becomes unsafe, they are my go-to solution. The crews are careful, safe, and knowledgeable.
I woukd give them 10 stars, but it wasnt an optikn. If you need any tree work call them! They cared about my issues and my tree as much as we do. True professional, caring, considerate gentlemen. A pleasure to have worked with them, dont bother with anyone, give them a call you won't regret it.
The team from Marquis Tree was excellent! They were courteous, professional and efficient. We appreciated the estimate that included pictures of exactly which limbs would be pruned. The work crew left the site completely free of any debris and reviewed the job with us before and after completion. We would highly recommend them for any tree work!
Marquis trimmed branches from tree limbs in our backyard, that was on our neighbors tree but hung in our yard and they trimmed a couple of pieces of wood from our tree on our neighbors side.
Timely in terms of giving estimate, fair prices, courteous and professional workers, and don't leave any traces - immaculate clean up after.
I have used Marquis twice now for two different homes and also recommended them to family for their work. Excellent and clear communication from beginning to end, service has been consistently prompt and of high quality. Crews do a great job not only on the tree work itself but also on post-job cleanup.
I found Marquis Tree Service by searching Google and read their positive reviews. Seeing their signs in the area, I figured they were a reputable company and I was right! Alex was able to come for an estimate quickly. Pricing was fair and reasonable for the work I wanted (pruning back a large Japanese maple, pear…
We had several trees pruned. The work was excellent and done as promised. Very pleased with the result.
Performed services as outlined in a professional fashion. I have used Marquis in the past for large tree removal and stump grinding.
The crew went above and beyond the call of duty.
Outstanding work. Professional and personable employees. On time, careful pruning and tree removal.
Justin and Alex from Marquis thinned out a very large Norway maple for us on Friday July 10th. They took out a large amount of branches relieving a lot of stress from weight on the tree but doing it in away that left the tree looking great!
I've used Marquis Trees several times over the years for storm clean up and tree work. They don't try to talk you into work that isn't needed and they always do a great job and goes above and beyond to complete the job and clean up afterwards. Most recently they gave me a quote in the early morning, I accepted and…
I recommend Marquis Tree Service without any reservations. From the start, Alex was fantastic at helping me plan the project, providing great suggestions for removing one of the trunks and cleaning up the rest of the tree. His proposal was fairly priced. On the day of the work, the crew arrived exactly on time.…
The crew came on time did a fabulous job and everything was cleaned up before they left. I was so impressed. I would recommend them to all my family if and when they need trees trimmed or removed thank you guys so much. You did a wonderful job.
I'm so disappointed with this highly-rated company. The proposal was for pruning a large Mulberry tree. The workman came out, did a great job on my next door neighbor's tree, did two side jobs for cash for the guy next door, then cut a few limbs on my tree and left. NUMEROUS branches were left untouched, even some…
John Marquis provides a detailed and clear quotation (with pictures), conveniently (by email), and promptly (within a day). The scheduled work was started on time, and cleanup was thorough. This is the second time that I have used Marquis in the last eleven years.
Team from Marquis Tree did a great job working on huge silver maple in back yard. Carefully took off a large limb that needed to be removed as well as taking care of the dead wood on the tree. Also nicely pruned 2 linden trees. Appreciated the clean up of entire area!
The crew that came out was outstanding! We walked the property to confirm all the work needed prior to beginning. The crew did a great job and cleaned up all the debris. Highly recommend Marquis Tree!
They did a great job on time no mess the guys couldn’t have been nicer
Excellent service all around! We needed some pretty extensive work - 7 trees removed plus some pruning. The front office was quick to respond and set up an estimate, and the quote came in well below our expectations. David and his crew got through the whole job in just a few hours with zero disturbance, and didn’t…
I hired Marquis Tree Service to remove several trees and prune/thin some very tall trees on my property. Unfortunately, my experience was frustrating from start to finish. During the first visit, the crew did not complete the tree pruning and thinning work that I had paid for, yet I was still charged in full. After…
Excellent job done by the crew. They took down a few trees as well as branches.
Marquis did a great job in removing one of my trees and trimming several overhanging trees. They are very professional. The great plus is that they are very knowledgable about trees and provided great suggestion on which trees need to be removed/pruned. They are not blindly suggesting to cut any healthy trees.
Marquis Tree Service people are top notch. Scott came by to provide me with a quote for a tree leaning against my shelterlogic shed and he pulled out a saw and got it off my shed no charge. What an amazing company. I suggest anyone needing tree work call these folks. They are beyond good customer service. They are awesome neighbors
They did exactly what they said plus a bunch more. Very responsive, polite and helpful and cleaned up after. Such nice guys, they even took my shovel away from me and shoveled my walk for me! Will definitely use them again.
Feb 2026. The Marquis team did a wonderful job on trimming my large Silver Maple and a large Japanese maple. Alex had a detailed explanation of the work on the quote/invoice. Watching them work was a real treat; such skilled tree workers. I had squirrel holes and rot inside some large branches; not any more! My…
The Marquis team arrived on time and Derek review the work to be done. He then walked the yard to view everything to be done. The team was very efficient and did a great job cleaning up given all of the snow on the ground. Derek actually had to climb some trees to prune branches, it was amazing to watch !! Sean was…
Marquis Tree Service are the only tree service that called us right back and even though it was a small job came out in a timely manner and got it done. They also worked in the pouring rain with a large brush pile and taking down the top of a pine that broke in a storm and wedged itself up in the branches of the…
Marquis did a fantastic job of trimming large oak and birch trees and removing withering pine trees. This opened up our yard to help our lawn get needed sunshine and protected our house from falling limbs. The landscape is visibly more open, boosting the vitality of the trimmed trees remaining. Alex wrote out…
Marquis removed a few trees and trimmed a few trees on my property. They were very professional. The work was very high quality. They cleaned all the debris from my property. We are very happy with the results. They worked with us to figure out the best strategy to reduce the price of the work. I would use Marquis…
Justin and his crew were professional, thoughtful and thorough. They did a great job with the set up, removal of branches and clean up. Couldn't be happier with their service!
They did an exceptional job and were very professional. I highly recommend their services.
Great crew
Great company, great team, and great service! Jose, Henry, and Martin came on time and work very hard and efficiently. They are friendly and professional. They really did a great job! They were very careful when working on trees close to the electrical wire, well, and septic tank and respectful of my property. They…
Great team of workers! Justin and Kyle and AJ were fun, polite, diligent ,consistant hard workers. They covered everything on the list professionally and did more than was asked. Highly recommended! Monica Kent
Honestly goes a long way for me. I called Marquis about a tree I thought needed to be taken down. They could have easily oversold me on the tree removal, but instead I was assured the tree was healthy and there was no need to take it down. I then asked about pruning a tree and they agreed that tree did need it. I…
Very attentive and quick! They were clearly focused on the longevity of the tree and not just trimming.
Marquis Tree has the best professional people. Followed safety precautions and were careful and respectful of my property. Staff was very friendly and explained the work that was to be done. Cleaned up very well. I have hired Marquis Tree many times and I am always satisfied completely with the job they perform.…
I have been using Marquis tree for over 10 years at 3 successive homes, and I completely trust their advice and expertise. I've used their services particularly for care of larger, more mature trees, for pruning, trimming off deadwood, and if trees were dying, complete removal. The crews are total professionals…
They have a great crew. They are highly skilled and very professional. Very solid experience.
All employees from the office to the outdoor workers were very friendly and helpful. The price was quite reasonable. First class operation.
As usual, Marquis Tree provided timely estimate, excellent service at a competitive price. I highly recommend it.
Work was done at the agreed-on time, very carefully and with excellent results and with an admirable desire for my feedback along the way as well as at the end. I came away with a very positive impression of Marquis Tree Service. I expect that the job could have been done at a lower cost, but perhaps not at the…
The team that did our amazing pruning and, I think amazing... for it's invisible to me... cabling, is the most responsive and collaborative tree team I remember in all our too many years of tree service. The office and tree evaluation staff are quite perfect as well!
ARRIVED ON TIME, PROFESSIONAL DEMEANOR, REVIEWED THE SCHEDULED WORK AND PERFORMED THE WORK, REMOVED ALL MATERIAL.
Marquis Tree Service brings to mind certain modifiers: Professional, Efficient, Competent, Reasonable Pricing, Clean, On Time. Nice to see a crew that had all the equipment they needed for the job and for protection, and who worked enthusiastically to get the job done in a very short time.
Fantastic service - would highly recommend!!
Great experience working with this company. Office was friendly and helpful. On-site crew was courteous and made sure trees were trimmed to my satisfaction. Very well done.
Alex at Marquis came out and gave an honest and rationalized explanation of what could be done for a diseased tree, as well as highlighting a minor issue with a separate tree. The team that came out to do the work were efficient, respectful of our time and neighbors and cleaned up perfectly. I couldn't have been more impressed!
Marquis Tree came out promptly,listened carefully to the scope of trimming we needed (trimming back from over the house, driveway and electric service line) and provided us an estimate on the spot. We were able to schedule the work in a reasonable time, and Marquis updated us as the day approached. The crew showed…
Best company Marquis Tree Service went above and beyond what anyone else was offering. From fair pricing to exceptional customer service, they truly exceeded my expectations. Jay Webster personally worked with me and the city to secure the necessary permits, ensuring everything was handled properly. They even…
I live on the edge of a forest and the trees grow into my backyard with large branches getting too close to the house. I recently called multiple tree companies to get a quote on trimming the branches back to a safe distance. Marquis Tree was the only company that responded in a timely manner. They sent someone…
We’ve used Marquis tree service several times. Each time they’ve done a great job. They arrived on time, cut and trimmed the trees we agreed on, cleaned up, and are friendly and professional. They know how to deal with conservation land, are careful to avoid putting heavy equipment near our septic system, and are…
Great experience from the initial walkthrough of the property to get an estimate to the actual work that was done. The work was perfectly done in a timely manner and clean up was awesome. I would highly recommend them for tree trimming to cutting a tree down.
Justin and his crew did an outstanding job taking care of the trees in our Newton yard! They were with us for the full work day and expertly completed all of the work that needed to be done as well as doing a great job cleaning up.
Very nicely insured. They added me to their insurance for the job! Job done on time, quickly, as expected!
Top notch skills in pruning. They were very respectful to my property as the tee pruning was over and around our pool and they did a fantastic job both from the ground and in the bucket. they matted the lawn to prevent the truck from damaging it and they cleaned up so well that my wife and I both agreed they left…
Can not say enough good about Marquis Tree Service. They provided great service at a reasonable price. Would recommend to anyone who asks. The crew was very professional and they are proud of the work they provide. They left the lawn and the street cleaner than it was before they started. From the beginning to the…
Marquis Tree did an excellent job. They reviewed the job before starting as well as at the end to make sure everything was done to our liking. They were polite and professional. We've used them in the past and will continue to use them in the future whenever we need tree service.
I have used Marquis Tree three times now, and once again they were prompt and professional, and very easy to work with. Crew consulted with me as soon as they arrived on site, as well as throughout the day to ensure that they are focusing on what is most important to me. They always accomplish more than I expect…
Yesterday, Marquis Tree came to our house to prune some trees in our yard. We have a lot of trees that needed pruning due to all the rain we got this summer. MT was fabulous to work with. They were responsive to my call, came out right away, walked the property with my husband, and had constructive…
They were actually early. I wasn’t expecting them until afternoon. The guys were great, friendly, thorough. They had to come twice because as they were working on one tree one of the workers got attacked by yellow jackets or bees. Poor guy. They came back to complete the job when the critters went dormant. Great clean up
I was very pleased with how promptly John came to give me an estimate and how quickly the work was completed once I accepted the proposal. I was also very pleased with the quality of the work that was done.
Big shout out to Chris and Mike and their crew for an exceptional job done. I needed to have a tree removed and chop down a few branches that were hanging over the driveway and posing a hazard for my cars parked underneath. Reached out to a few "tree service" companies in the area and had a couple come out and…
good work, cleaned up too
Marquis Tree Service did an impeccable job on some fairly extensive tree work we recently had done. They removed one trunk of a very large four trunk maple tree and one trunk of a smaller three trunk maple tree. In addition, they expertly trimmed the large maple both in our yard and the neighbor's yard at her…
They were prompt and explained exactly what their plan was to complete the job.and cleaned up after themselves like they were never there.👍👍picture below is after and before
They did a fabulous job! We have an overgrown maple tree that was hanging over the roof and antenna. Despite that, they removed some 15 feet from the middle to the top one barely noticed it. No damage to the law, and the clean-up was superb! We will use them again the next time!
Efficient and helpful from start to finish. Prompt evaluation and estimate, on time for project. Navigated removal of a large, diseased tree safely and carefully, even avoiding all the wires between branches. Thorough clean up and removed all debris.
We had a couple of huge oak branches break during a recent storm. We were concerned that in the upcoming storm (Lee) they might blow onto the house. Despite being extremely busy, Marquis came and removed them the next day. Like it never even happened. Highly recommended. (Lincoln MA, September 2023)
