LAR landscaping and tree service, inc

Every written account of LAR Landscaping and Tree Service is about the same thing: getting a big tree down without touching anything around it. The Chelsea company's Google page carries a 4.9 from eight ratings, and the four customers who wrote something all describe tree work on tight residential lots. In an October 2025 review, a homeowner named Jovani and Lissandro, said the crew trimmed a mature oak back for safety and to clear the way for solar panels, took out four more trees that were unhealthy or too close to the house and fences, cleaned up, and finished it all in a single day — with a neighbor's removal squeezed in. A 2023 customer described a gigantic diseased tree coming out of a back yard hemmed in by neighbors, with no damage to either property. In 2021, one homeowner had two trees come down in the yard and got a quote well under two competitors', with the work done that same day; another wrote about watching a crew fell a tree across the street and clear the site afterward. What's thin here is breadth, not tone. Eight ratings on one platform, four of them written, and the newest of those dates to October 2025 — no directory profile, no second review site to cross-check against. Landscaping-only contractors are exempt from Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, so nothing turns on that. If you have a hazardous tree over a driveway or a shared fence line, this is the kind of crew those reviews describe. Ask for proof of insurance and a written scope before the saws come out — standard for tree work, and cheap to confirm.
