Your Arlington Project
What to expect when you hire us.
When you request a tree trimming & pruning quote for your Arlington property, here's what actually happens.
First, a trained estimator calls or emails to schedule an on-site visit. Most Arlington assessments happen within a day or two of your request (same evening for emergencies).
Second, the estimator walks the property, inspects the tree or trees, checks clearances for equipment, and identifies any access or utility-line concerns. You get a written fixed quote before they leave — or in your inbox within hours.
Third, if you approve the quote, we schedule a crew date that works for you and notify utilities if needed. You also receive our Certificate of Insurance.
Fourth, the crew executes the work. Chipper, loader, climbers, rigging — whatever the job calls for. Debris is chipped, logs hauled, and we do a final walk-through with you before invoicing.

Reviews from Middlesex County
Recent Massachusetts homeowners on what it's like to work with Pro Evolution.
“A 60-foot maple had split over our garage after a windstorm. Pro Evolution arrived the same evening, tarped the hole, and fully removed it in under a day. Courteous, clean, professional — exactly what you want when you're panicking.”
Maria D.

“Three dead oaks that had been stressing us out for two years. They gave us a fixed written quote, showed up on time, and cleaned up so well my wife thought they had re-mulched the bed. Would hire again in a heartbeat.”
James P.

“Priced three companies. Pro Evolution wasn't the cheapest — but they were the only ones who walked the property, explained what they'd do, and gave me the insurance docs without asking. Worth every dollar.”
