Tree Care That Goes Beyond Cutting
Most tree companies focus on removal. We focus on preservation.
At Balanced Branches Tree Care, we take a proactive, science-based approach to maintaining the health and structure of your trees and shrubs. Whether you’re dealing with pests, declining trees, or simply want to protect your landscape investment, we provide thoughtful, expert care tailored to your property.
Rooted in Education. Built on Experience. Trusted by Property Owners.
Balanced Branches Tree Care is owned and operated by Dan VanLeuvan, a South Shore native who has spent over 15 years working hands-on in arboriculture and plant health care.
He studied at the Stockbridge School of Agriculture and the University of Massachusetts Amherst, and brings that knowledge into the field with a practical, hands-on approach.
Clients work directly with him at every stage—from evaluation through execution—so you always know whom you’re working with, and can see the consistency and care in the final result.
In his free time, Dan enjoys spending time outdoors with his wife, daughter, and dog.
