Equipped for Scale, Built for Reliability
When trees and vegetation are tied to the value of your property, your compliance record, or contract deadlines, you need a tree service that delivers like a partner, not a vendor. Regal Tree & Shrub Experts works across the complete spectrum of commercial, municipal, institutional, and land management tree care. We have the certifications, equipment, and depth of crew to match the scope of your work.
Regal supports municipalities, agencies, property managers, HOAs, campuses, and large private properties across Massachusetts and Rhode Island – delivering everything from single-site assessments to multi-year vegetation management contracts. Our client base includes:
Army Corps of Engineers (MA, RI, CT, NH)
National Park Service
Providence Water
Boston Public Schools
City of Boston
City of Providence
Numerous MA and RI towns
Our Commercial Capabilities
Beyond our dedicated commercial tree planting and tree inventory services, Regal offers a full range of specialized commercial capabilities.
Chemical Vegetation Control
Chemical Vegetation Control
When mechanical clearing isn’t practical or you need vegetation held back long-term, chemical vegetation control is the most cost-effective tool in our toolbelt. Regal’s applicators are MA Category 36 & 40 licensed, qualifying us to treat roadsides, rights-of-way, utility corridors, and other non-agricultural areas across Massachusetts.
That includes:
Roadside and shoulder vegetation management
Infrastructure corridors (utility, pipeline, rail-adjacent)
Fields, pastures, and agricultural margins
Woodlines and property-edge maintenance
Invasive species control
What You’ll Get
Licensed applicators with complete documentation of application records
Treatment plans specific to your site, not default spraying
Selective herbicide selection to protect desirable vegetation
Multi-year maintenance programs for properties that need continuous control
Forestry Mulching
Forestry Mulching
Forestry mulching grinds standing vegetation in place, leaving a layer of mulch that decomposes into the soil. No debris to haul or piles to burn, and there’s way less disturbance to the site than traditional clearing.
This approach is well-suited for:
Field and pasture creation or reclamation
Pasture and woodland edge maintenance
Right-of-way maintenance
Fire load reduction around trails, boundaries, or structures
Invasive species knockdown before follow-up treatment
What You’ll Get
Track-mounted forestry mulching equipment suited to various terrains
Scoped pricing for single-visit clearing or routine maintenance
Coordination with chemical vegetation control for longer-term results
Licensed, insured operators
Landscape Construction
Landscape Construction
Every season, Regal takes on a limited number of landscape construction projects. We’re selective about fit and scope, as this isn’t a general landscape construction shop. We’re intentional about what projects we say yes to.
The projects we consider:
Hardscape installations tied to existing tree and property work
Planting beds, borders, and landscape features
Projects that complement our core arborist services
Work for existing clients and referred properties
What You’ll Get
Honest scoping from the start, we’ll tell you whether we’re the right fit or not
Coordinated execution with any tree related work
Certified Arborist input on tree preservation during construction
The same documentation and communication standards as our other commercial work clients
Interested? Reach out to us and we’ll discuss the specifics of your project and whether it’s a match for our crew and scope.
Land Clearing
Land Clearing
Regal handles small-scale land clearing projects with a focus on efficiency, responsiveness, and site control. For larger clearing work, we’ll point you to the right partner – our focus is on projects where precision and coordination matter most.
Typical projects include:
Lot clearing for residential or small commercial development
Building pad preparation
Driveway and access road clearing
Overgrown lot reclamation
What You’ll Get
Honest scoping so you’ll know if the job is outside of our sweet spot
Coordinated tree removal, stump grinding, and hauling
Forestry mulching as an alternative wherever appropriate
Site cleanup to an agreed condition
Woodland Trail Creation
Woodland Trail Creation
Almost no New England tree service company advertises woodland trail creation. However, Regal does because it’s a natural fit for arborist-led crews who know canopy, root systems, and how to cut through a woodland without damaging what makes it worth preserving.
Regal has built trails across a range of properties, including:
Campus and educational properties
Private parks and conservation land
Large residential estates
HOA common land and 55+ communities
Conservation and nature preserve properties
What You’ll Get
Custom trail layout that considers canopy, drainage, and long-term sustainability
Selective clearing, only what needs to come out will come out.
Grading and surface preparation as necessary
Ongoing trail maintenance contracts are available as well
Arborist Consulting
Arborist Consulting
Sometimes you need more than a crew; like a second opinion, a written recommendation, or an expert voice in the room. Regal’s consulting work supports property managers, facilities teams, tree committees, developers, and homeowners making decisions with real consequences.
Regal is typically brought in to support:
Written recommendations on tree health, preservation, or removal
Construction tree protection plans and on-site oversight
Expert input for tree committees, grounds staff, and facilities teams
Pre-purchase tree assessments so you know what you’re inheriting before closing
Second opinion on another arborist’s recommendations
What You’ll Get
ISA Certified Arborist credentials behind every recommendation
Written, defensible documentation
Preservation-focused perspective, as we look for alternatives to removal whenever possible
Hazard Tree Analysis & Reporting
Hazard Tree Analysis & Reporting
Owner Kevin Johnston holds the Tree Risk Assessment Qualification (TRAQ) from the International Society of Arboriculture, which is the industry standard credential for legally defensible hazard tree evaluation. For properties with liability exposure, public-facing trees, or insurance and audit requirements, that qualification can be the difference-maker between an opinion and a documented assessment.
TRAQ-certified analysis is typically needed for:
Liability concerns on commercial or public-facing property
Insurance requirements or risk management audits
Post-storm inspections with documentation
Pre-litigation or claim-related tree evaluations
Periodic inspection programs for municipalities, campuses, and larger portfolios
What You’ll Get
Formal TRAQ-based inspection using ISA’s standardized methodology
Written report with risk rating, failure probability, and mitigation recommendations
Documentation suitable for files, public records, and risk management systems
Follow-up work separately quoted, so the assessment remains objective
Why Commercial Clients Choose Regal
Commercial tree work comes with higher stakes – liability, timelines, documentation, and coordination across multiple stakeholders. Regal is built to meet those demands, with the expertise, systems, and accountability required to deliver consistently.
Certified Arborists on Every Project: ISA Certified Arborists and TRAQ-qualified inspectors lead every commercial engagement from the beginning to the end.
Preservation-Minded Arboriculture. We look for the pruning, growth regulation, or PHC solutions before we think about recommending removal. This saves budget and protects assets.
Federal and Municipal Track Record: We know how to bid, document, and deliver on work in the public sector. We bring that discipline to every commercial job.
Specialized Equipment: We match the right equipment to each job – cranes, lifts, and low-impact machinery – to protect the site and keep work efficient.
Licensed Applicators: Our team holds MA Category 36 & 40 licenses, allowing us to perform compliant, fully documented vegetation control.
24/7 Emergency Response: We respond quickly to storm damage, hazards, and urgent situations to stabilize the site and restore safety.
