About Advanced Tree Service in Somerset, MA

ISA-Certified Arborist with Second-Generation Experience Serving Somerset

Advanced Tree Service is a certified arborist company serving Somerset, MA, founded by James Coyle in 2017. James is a second-generation arborist, trained since childhood by his father and later through Bartlett Tree Experts, one of the region's premier training grounds for professional tree care.

James holds certifications from the International Society of Arborists (ISA) and the American Board of Registered Arborists (ABRA), along with a contractor supervisor license and Rhode Island tree work license. These credentials represent years of hands-on training and testing—meaning the arborist assessing your trees can identify species-specific diseases, recognize structural failures before they happen, and determine the safest removal approach for compromised trees near structures.



What sets this company apart is James's certification in dead-tree climbing and technical removal—a specialization only 1 in 1,000 tree companies achieve. This allows Advanced Tree Service to safely remove hazardous dead trees that competitors won't approach, using rigging techniques and climbing systems designed for unpredictable wood that can't support standard equipment.

The service philosophy is straightforward: deliver quality work at honest prices, prioritize safety above speed, and treat every customer's property with the same respect you'd give your own. You won't see massive machinery tearing up lawns—this is precision tree work performed by expert hands.

Every crew member wears uniforms, helmets, and certified safety gear. All ground crew hold OSHA 10 certification, while James and his foreman hold OSHA 20—the higher-level training that covers hazard recognition, fall protection, and emergency response protocols. This isn't just regulatory compliance; it's the standard that keeps workers safe and ensures clean, controlled work on your property.

Somerset's coastal location means trees face salt exposure, wind stress, and storm damage that weakens limbs and root systems over time. Identifying which trees pose actual hazards versus which can be pruned and preserved requires the kind of diagnostic training James received through both family mentorship and formal arborist certification programs.



After taking time away to care for family, James restarted Advanced Tree Service in early 2026. Within weeks, the business had already rebuilt trust across the South Coast, earning 26 five-star reviews from customers who experienced the difference between rushed tree work and careful, methodical removal that protects surrounding landscaping and structures.

When you work with Advanced Tree Service, you're working directly with the business owner. James shows up personally to assess jobs, explain options, and supervise technical removals. You'll receive transparent pricing before any work begins, with explanations of why certain techniques are necessary and what equipment will be used.
