In Eastern Massachusetts, tree permits are an essential part of responsible tree management, particularly when dealing with protected species or working in public areas.
Why are these permits necessary? Obtaining tree permits is an important step to make sure that tree work is performed safely and doesn’t pose risks to people or property.
Common activities that often require permits include removing large or protected trees, pruning, planting, and working on trees near power lines (or other utilities).

Most cities and towns in our service area require permits for tree work, especially when it affects public areas. The specific requirements can vary significantly from one town to another, making it crucial for arborists like us to understand local regulations.

Licensing as a Tree Company
Tree Tech Inc. is a fully licensed, bonded, and insured in Eastern Massachusetts. This status is more than just a legal requirement, it’s our commitment to your safety and peace of mind. Our comprehensive insurance coverage includes:
