Hilltown Tree & Garden cares for old trees at several Trustees sites in Western Massachusetts. At Naumkeag, we work in the site’s originally planted beech trees. Our team checks each tree and removes select dead wood. This careful work supports the trees and their historic setting.

The tree care goal
Large, old trees need planned care. We review their form, dead wood, soil, pests, and signs of disease. We also look at how each tree fits the historic grounds. At Naumkeag, the goal was to meet current canopy needs and help preserve the trees.
Certified arborist review
Our certified arborist tree care starts with an on-site check. A care plan may include pruning, cabling, planting, feeding, and checks for pests or disease. We focus on work that helps the tree. We do not treat an old tree like a routine clearing job.
Careful canopy cleaning
The team prepared one of Naumkeag’s originally planted beech trees for a canopy cleaning. We removed dead wood from the crown and branch tips. This work calls for trained climbers and careful cuts. Each cut must protect the form of the old tree.
Long-term care for historic trees
Our work for the Trustees covers several sites in Western Massachusetts. Tree care may include pruning, cabling, planting, feeding, and health checks. Each tree gets a plan that fits its health, setting, and long-term needs.
We can also pair historic tree care with landscape design and installation. This helps when nearby plants, paths, and site use must work together.
