An arborist is a tree care professional who diagnoses tree health, assesses risk, and recommends the right care to keep your trees safe and thriving. B&R Tree Service is a family-owned, ISA Certified Arborist-led company serving Charlton and Worcester County since 2001. We provide pest and disease diagnosis, structural and safety assessments, and science-based care plans all to ANSI A300 industry standards.
A true professional does more than just cut wood; they understand the biology of the tree. Therefore, our team identifies pests, diseases, and structural defects that the untrained eye might miss. As a leading Certified Arborist in Charlton MA, we use science-based methods to boost natural immunity and structural growth. We handle everything from soil health to hazardous limb mitigation with surgical precision. Our goal is to ensure your trees remain a safe and beautiful part of your property for decades to come.

Every cut we make follows strict ANSI A300 standards. For young trees, we focus on structural training to prevent future failures; for mature trees, crown thinning lets light and wind move safely through the canopy. This proactive maintenance helps trees hold up through harsh New England winters. We bring this same standard of care to Shrewsbury, Natick, Charlton, and the surrounding towns.
While our focus is keeping trees healthy, some trees become too hazardous to safely preserve. When that’s the case, our arborists coordinate with our removal crew to plan the safest approach including crane work for large or hard-to-access trees. See our Tree Removal page for more on how we handle that process.
A regular tree service crew is trained to safely cut, remove, or trim trees. An arborist is trained in tree biology diagnosing disease, assessing structural risk, and recommending care that keeps a tree healthy long-term, not just handling the immediate job. Many jobs need both: an arborist’s assessment to determine the right course of action, and a skilled crew to carry it out. At B&R, both are part of the same team.
We walk the property with you, inspect the trees in question for signs of disease, structural weakness, or root damage, and explain what we find in plain terms. You’ll get a clear recommendation whether that’s monitoring, pruning, treatment, cabling, or removal along with a written quote if work is needed.

An arborist diagnoses tree health, assesses risk, and recommends care inspecting for pests, disease, and structural defects, then advising on pruning, treatment, cabling, monitoring, or removal. The focus is keeping trees safe and healthy, not just cutting them down.
Hire an arborist if a tree shows dead limbs, leaning, fungal growth, or thinning leaves; if it's near your home or power lines; if you're building near mature trees; or if you're buying a property and want its trees evaluated.
A tree service cuts and removes trees; a certified arborist diagnoses them first to determine the right care and whether a tree can be saved. B&R provides both the diagnostic expertise and the crew to do the work.

GOOD Based on 46 reviews Posted on Google TylerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent experience from start to finish. We had a large pine tree removed from a difficult location near power lines, our house, and a fence. The crew was professional, communicated well, and completed the job safely and efficiently. The work met our expectations. We would gladly recommend them to others.Posted on Google KarenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wonderful Work ,Posted on Google JeromeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. They were very efficient and cleaned up after they were done. It was a great experiencePosted on Google GeorgeanneTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had multiple trees and overgrown shrubs removed. One of the large trees was tangled with the electric drop too. Bernie, the owner, personally came with his crew to oversee this big job over almost 3 days. Bernie is very knowledgeable about trees and plants and had so much good information to share, which was especially helpful for me since I'm new to Massachusetts. The crew cleaned up everything when they were done. The price was very reasonable (less than other quotes I got). I highly recommend B&R Tree Service! Good people, and it's a very friendly family business. The pics attached show the house before, in the middle, and after. Trees in the backyard were removed too (not shown).Posted on Google PatriciaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Everyone involved in removing our 5 trees was very professional, extremely diligent, and pleasant to work with! The accuracy, attention to detail, and quality of work were all evident throughout the entire process. Two neighbors hired B & R as a result.Posted on Google RalphTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The owner explained the process very well, set a date, the office followed up, and the team followed through. Great work and will use them again in the future.
