Mad Lawn And Tree

If the tree is healthy and one part of it is the problem, trim it. If the tree itself is the problem, take it down.

When trimming is enough

  • One limb over the roof or driveway. A healthy maple with a big limb heading over the house gets that limb removed and the rest stays. We did that in Deep River in August 2025.
  • A cracked or hanging branch. In East Lyme in August 2026 we trimmed a cracked branch that was hanging over a driveway and pruned another off the house. The trees stayed.
  • Deadwood. Dead branches in a healthy oak come out before they come down on their own.

"Tree looked so natural it was hard to believe they had just trimmed it significantly." (Gail S., Google review)

When the tree has to come down

  • Dead or declining. Thin crown, bark falling off, mushrooms at the base, a pine going brown from the top. In Deep River in July 2026 we took every dead and declining tree out of a front yard.
  • Leaning at the house. A large sugar maple endangering a house in Deep River, September 2026. A multi-stem tree endangering a neighbor's house in Westbrook, June 2026.
  • Roots in the septic or the foundation. A red maple threatening a septic system in East Lyme, August 2026.
  • A storm split through the trunk.

Shoreline trees have their own problems

Salt wind off the Sound dries one side of a tree and makes it lean. Wet, sandy soil near the beach gives shallow roots, so big pines tip in a nor'easter. If a tree is doing something it was not doing two years ago, have someone look at it.

What tree removal includes

A removal gets the tree on the ground and the brush chipped and hauled. Logs are your choice: hauled away, cut to firewood length and left, or set roadside. The stump stays unless you add stump grinding, which grinds it below grade to a mulch-like material. Add topsoil and seed and it is lawn again.

Questions people ask

Does tree removal include the stump?

No. Stump grinding is its own line on the quote. Leave it, grind it, or grind it and fill with topsoil and seed.

Can I keep the wood for firewood?

Yes. Say so when Mason quotes it.

Do you need a crane?

Sometimes. A big tree wedged between two houses with nowhere to drop it is a crane job. Most trees are climbed and lowered in pieces. Mason tells you which when he looks at it, and the quote shows it.

    I called and met with the owner for a quote on the same date I called. The owner gave me a quote the same day and was able to lower prices when asked about taking down other trees of concern. Him and his team came out within two days because of the issue and did an amazing job. If needed this will be my first call and will refer elsewhere for anybody else who may need works done!

    Mason & the whole MAD Tree team have truly been a blessing in a nightmare - having had a humongous tree fall on my brand new uninsured home.. I’m not a haggler so I lead with my max budget but was quoted by first company I called that they would only remove half the tree for my price - actually suggested I make my neighbor pay the other half, since it fell in his yard.. I’m not rich by any means but that’s not the kind of man I want to be, so got a second opinion with Mason. He immediately reassured me that he can do the entire job, removing the whole tree in both yards including all branches off the roof, for less money than what the competitor company wanted for just half - All done next day! Never demanding money up-front or even after; very patient, understanding, young yet PROFESSIONAL looking to build up his resume with rave reviews + recommendations.. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (7 out of 5 stars)

    They did a great job and cleaned everything up nicely. Other than the missing trees, you wouldn’t even know they were here. I would use again if we have a need for it, and would definitely recommend. Great job guys!

    This is a review for Mason @ Mad Lawn &Tree. His lawn service is excellent. He has modern equipment, cuts the grass evenly and adjusts the height of the cut appropriately based on the season. His team also trims grass around the hard to reach spots. His prices are very reasonable. My yard looks very nice. I’ve also had his team take down a couple of large trees which went very smoothly. Good prices. Highly recommended. Thank you for your great work! Trevor Nichols

    I have been a customer with Mad Lawn and Tree since the business first started. Mason has very competitive pricing. I have found him to be timely in answering my questions. His crew does a great cleaning up after the mowing process. The addition of digital notification with scheduled mowing dates, payment online and receipts for payment has been very helpful.

    MAD Lawn and Tree has been mowing my lawn every two weeks, and I’ve been really happy with their service. They do a great job, and the price is very fair. The owner and the crew are friendly, easy to talk to, and quick to respond. I used a different lawn service before them, and they just didn’t measure up. MAD Lawn and Tree has been much more reliable, and you can tell they care about the work they do. They show up when they say they will and always leave my yard looking great. I’d definitely recommend them to anyone looking for good, dependable lawn care.

    This business excels in customer service, which is hard to come by today! Quick response to text and calls. They did a great job with my fall clean up and tilling a garden this spring. Look forward to having them back in the fall if not before then!

    I had Mason remove stump grinding chips and prepare the old stump area with top soil and fertilizer in order to plant new trees. He was ontime ,very reasonably priced and efficient. The area came out perfect, with what I had pictured the end result would be. I highly recommend his services.

    I was in need tree services so I began to search. When I met Mason from MAD Lawn and Tree Service I was a little taken back by his age but it didn’t take long to see that Mason was very knowledgeable and eager to get right to it. The price was reasonable so I booked him to do the job. On the day of the tree removal Mason and his team was right on time and completed the job above and beyond what I had expected. Because they did such a great job I hired him for my landscaping needs. I am very impressed. I recommend MAD Lawn and Tree Service to anyone.

    The owner (Mason) is a pleasure to work with. He has taken down a number of trees for us as well as clearing the underbrush and small trees from a. Large forested area of our property. He and his team are professional, courteous and thorough. We wanted to keep the wood to use for firewood. They limbed all the branches and took them away and then cut the trees into suitable lengths for splitting. They did a great job with clean up as well. We also used them to prep a huge decorative garden in which they placed landscape fabric and finished it off with mulch. It looks fabulous!
