About Hobbs & Sons Services

Hobbs & Sons Services operates out of Derry, New Hampshire, bringing a family business approach to tree care and heavy-duty property work. They hold a perfect 5-star rating, which speaks to the kind of personal attention a small operation typically delivers. Derry sits in southern New Hampshire where mature hardwoods like oak and maple are common, and ice storms or nor'easters can drop large limbs without warning. Having a provider that handles both tree work and excavation under one roof is genuinely useful for properties dealing with root systems or lot clearing projects.

Services & Process

Hobbs & Sons handles standard tree services including removal, trimming, and pruning, but what separates them from typical tree companies is their crane and excavation capabilities. Crane services allow the team to remove large or awkwardly positioned trees safely, especially those close to structures where felling in sections isn't practical. Excavation services extend their usefulness to stump removal, land grading, and site prep after tree work is complete. This combination makes them well suited for homeowners planning construction or major landscaping changes after clearing trees from a property.

Service Area

Hobbs & Sons serves Derry and the surrounding southern New Hampshire communities. Given their equipment capabilities, they're well positioned to take on work throughout Rockingham County, including towns like Londonderry, Chester, and Windham. Properties along the Massachusetts border also fall within reasonable reach.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why would I need a crane for tree removal?
Cranes are used when a tree is too close to a house, power line, or other structure to safely fall in one piece or even in large sections. They allow the crew to lift sections straight up and away from obstacles, which protects your property and keeps the job safe. It's especially common with large oaks or maples in tight yards.
Does Hobbs & Sons handle emergency storm damage in Derry?
Given their equipment, they're well equipped for emergency storm response, particularly for downed trees that require crane lifts to remove safely. Southern New Hampshire gets significant ice and wind events in winter and spring that can drop large limbs onto roofs or block driveways. It's best to call directly at (978) 387-6434 to confirm their emergency availability.
What does excavation after tree removal involve?
After a tree is removed, the stump and root ball can be ground down or fully excavated depending on your plans for the space. Full excavation removes the entire root mass, which is necessary if you're building, paving, or planting in that area. Hobbs & Sons can handle both the tree removal and the follow-up ground work without you needing a second contractor.
How much does crane tree removal typically cost in New Hampshire?
Crane removal is more expensive than standard tree removal because of the equipment costs and the additional crew required. In southern New Hampshire, you can generally expect to pay anywhere from $1,500 to $5,000 or more depending on tree size, location, and access. Getting an on-site quote is the only reliable way to price your specific job.
Can you clear a wooded lot for construction in Derry?
Yes, lot clearing is a natural fit for a company that combines tree services with excavation equipment. They can fell trees, remove stumps, grade the soil, and leave a site ready for building or landscaping. This is much more efficient than hiring separate tree and excavation contractors who need to coordinate schedules.
Are trees damaged by New Hampshire ice storms worth saving or removing?
It depends on how much of the crown and structure is intact after the damage. A certified arborist can assess whether the tree is likely to recover or whether it poses an ongoing hazard to your property. Ice-damaged trees with major trunk splits or more than 50% crown loss are often better removed before the next storm season.
