City of Boston Street trees maintenance
All the work of street trees in Boston is under the city council and their department of Parks and Recreation. As a result, one cannot remove such trees without obtaining a permit from the council.
In some cases, the council may remove or trim trees growing on the streets. However, appropriate reasons such as a tree being dead, infected, posing danger and obstructing traffic must apply.
Requesting work on street trees in the city of Boston
Residents of Boston are free to request any type of work on the street or public trees. That can be requested for a tree to be planted, maintenance or removed. However, in all these cases, you have to do a formal request to the city council.
The requests can be made through email or in person. Once you have submitted your request, the council will review it and ascertain whether your reasons qualify for the removal of the said tree or any other work.
In case the council agrees to remove the tree, you will have to take care of the costs. The city authority also charges $300 per inch of tree diameter for every street or public tree removed. The money goes to Parks and Recreation fund for the city.

Who qualified to make the list?
To qualify to make the list, you needed to have a minimum of 20 reviews total across a minimum of 2 different platforms. This can be Google, Facebook, Yelp, Yellow Pages, Angie’s List, Home advisor, or any other 3rd party review platform. Curated reviews taken on personal websites were not counted.
The company needed to be in business for a minimum of 5 years.
We feel that years in operation is a big factor as it speaks volumes about the competence of the business as a whole. A lot of the businesses on the list have been in business for 10 years or more.
GTQ rating formula
The GoTreeQuotes rating is a mathematical formula that takes into account the number for years in business, the number of reviews, as well as the average score.
We believe the provenance of a company and the number of reviews, is just as important as the average score. Just as long as that average score does not dip too much below the 4.0 mark.
The formula used:
Years in business X number of reviews / 1000 X Average score = GTQ rating
Example:
17 x 247/ 1000 x 4.95 = 208
Taking into account all three performance indicators of a business gives us a pretty accurate look at the overall satisfaction of customers while the tree service has been operating.
We found this to be the fairest and most precise way to do things.
Below are some more details on the companies in order as they appear on the list above.
FAQ’s
A 50ft tree is in the class of large trees and such trees and larger ones will cost approximately $1,800. Other than that, you have to remember that prices vary depending on factors such as the number of branches, ease of access, and type of tree. Due to this, a pine tree of this size will be cheaper to remove compared to an Oak tree. This is due to their differences in terms of branches and timber.
To know for sure how much it will cost to remove your tree, get a tree company to give you a quote.
It is the tree owner’s responsibility to remove a tree. This also applies to the maintenance of the tree. However, in cases where the tree is on the council’s land, then it becomes the council’s responsibility to do everything required whether is maintenance or removal.
No tip is really required on tree service providers. Here is why. All tree service workers are on a minimum wage meaning that a tip is not necessary. When they also charge you for tree services they do it well considering the company needs. However, if you feel comfortable doing it, there is no problem.
In most cases, the price of stump removal is different. However, it is not okay to just assume so. To make sure that everything is clear on your side and to avoid confusion, make sure that you ask your company to clarify when giving you a quote. This is because some companies may trick you into thinking that it is not inclusive, yet it is, and charge you later.
A tree with a height of 100 ft. is already a large tree. As a result, the cost can go really high. You will pay an average of $2,300 to remove such a tree. However, it will not be the same case for all trees of this height. This is because there are other factors that determine the cost of tree removal other than its size. Access to the tree and the type of company you hire will influence the price. To get the right figure, ask for quotes from different companies.
