About Us

Whipple Tree takes a whole-system approach to tree care—focusing not just on trees, but the health of your entire landscape. We specialize in regenerative practices that improve soil health, reduce runoff, and boost biodiversity. Thoughtful forestry for a thriving, resilient property.

We are your neighbors

WhippleTree is a small, family owned and operated tree care service. We have been working with trees since 1999, serving clients in South Coast Massachusetts and Rhode Island.

From Newport to New Bedford, Westport to Portsmouth, Tiverton to Fall River...We're here for you!

Melanie answers the phone and creates the schedule, while Eric and Brad conduct the sales and operations. We are your neighbors, and here to stay!

For years, WhippleTree has worked through various organizations and special events to promote safe practices within our industry. Through the Tree Care Industry Association (TCIA), the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) and its New England Chapter, and even local retailers such as Shelter Tree Care Products, outreach has been a part of life.

Eric has served as a trainer, demonstrator and speaker at annual Expo events, a mentor to Bristol Aggie High School Arbor Program Students, and provided technical support at numerous Chapter Climbing Competitions. His efforts to share ideas regarding safe practices and efficient techniques have been across the US and as far as Japan. He has even worked to develop products that are widely used in the industry today.

rooted in SAFETY

growing through QUALITY

While your satisfaction is our goal, our attention to safety and quality sets us apart. Each project has its own intrinsic value to the client and their property, and we strive to bring that delicate balance to fruition.

We do all this with consistent communication, knowledge and experience. We've invested in specialized equipment, and carefully honed our skills and techniques to back up our promise.

We assess all potential hazards on the job site, and mitigate any risks with adherence to the standards of practice created by our industry. We are ALWAYS tied in, and we WILL NOT destroy your property.

Are you insured?

We have all necessary licenses for our area, and we carry appropriate insurance for all of our projects. We respect the importance of proper coverage, and wouldn't consider leaving anyone exposed.

We have worked with several entities, cities, and non-profits that require custom policy adjustments or an "additionally insured" clause. Please reach out with any information regarding your unique project requirements.
