Who We Are

Josh, Northeast Tree Care Owner

Our story began in 2002 when Jason Kicza founded Northeast Tree Care, originally known as Northeast Hardscapes. What started with a focus on landscape construction soon evolved into a passion for arboriculture, leading to the name change in 2012 to better reflect our dedication to tree care.

This year marks an exciting new chapter for Northeast Tree Care as Josh Kicza, Jason's brother, has taken the helm. Josh has been part of the journey since the beginning, working alongside Jason in the early days to establish the company. After branching out to start his own successful logging business, Josh spent over a decade immersed in the industry. However, he found himself longing for the meaningful impact that comes from directly supporting homeowners and property owners in our community.

When Josh learned that Jason was considering transitioning out of the business, he saw it as a perfect opportunity to return to the work he truly loves. Josh's return is driven by his passion for helping people in Western Massachusetts, bringing his extensive experience and a renewed commitment to serving our clients with excellence.

At Northeast Tree Care, we pride ourselves on staying current with industry practices and utilizing state-of-the-art equipment to ensure the highest quality of service. Our team of dedicated professionals is passionate, well-educated, and committed to professionalism, continually evolving to maintain our status as industry leaders.

We serve a diverse range of clients, including homeowners, HOAs, contractors, developers, colleges, private schools, and commercial properties. No matter the project, our goal is to provide exceptional tree care services that enhance the beauty and safety of your property.

Join us as we continue to grow and make a positive impact in our community. With Josh at the forefront, Northeast Tree Care is excited to see how he can help you achieve the best for your trees and landscapes over the decades to come.

Thank you for choosing Northeast Tree Care. We look forward to working with you!
