- Tree RemovalToo often, trees are lost prematurely, due to insect and disease infestation, environmental stress from drought and low soil fertility, structural failure, and the unwarranted fears of property owners and managers. While we do support and provide tree removal services as a necessary landscape management tool, we strive to educate our clients about tree stabilization techniques, providing options for those who “prefer to preserve.”

- Storm Damage Cleanup…I first met Rolf Briggs 25 years ago when I hired Tree Specialists to help me with the protection of a heavily wooded lot during residential construction. Rolf was able to preserve every major tree on the property through very careful tree management, and insured the continued value of the land. Since then, I have hired Tree Specialists exclusively to care for all of my trees, including tree selection, plantings, pruning, removals, and fertilization programs, all professionally executed. I rely on Rolf’s recommendations, and am confident that Tree Specialists’ work has enhanced the beauty of my property, and prevented costly storm damage despite the age and large size of my trees. I highly recommend Tree Specialist to anyone looking for quality tree work executed by professional, certified arborists at a reasonable price.

- Tree Cabling and BracingTree Specialists was started by Rolf Briggs in 1981, while studying Arboriculture at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst. While many of his peers were investing in cranes and whole tree chippers to expedite the removal and processing of tree parts, Rolf focused on developing structural pruning, bracing, and prescription fertilization techniques to stabilize and extend tree life.
