"When we purchased our house in the Bronx 2 years ago, we interited a large tree that was being choked with years of boston ivy growth. 2 landscapers removed some of the lower vines, but none would tackle removing all the vines which extended about 40/50 feet up the tree. Lenny was the first of 8 tree trimmers Angie recommended who called me (never heard from 6 others) and he came over in 45 minutes to give me an estimate. The price for trimmiing about 10 trees was very reasonable (based on prior experience) and I hired him right away. He came with a crew the next morning and trimmed all the trees & vines, chipped all the leaves and branches and cleaned up the yard. His climber was amazing & they did a fantastic job!! I highly recommend Always Green and will use them again."

"RJR understood the project and what we were looking to accomplish. Rosalio did a thorough walk through with me. He knew the situation we were in with the Spotted Lantern Flies that were feeding on the Athlantus trees in our yard. He made great suggestions from an arborist perspective and worked out a fair estimate for all the different aspects of the job. RJR and crew went right to work immediately and didnâ t stop. They work fast and are completely careful and respectful of the property. The clean up was like nothing took place that day. Every scrap of wood, leaves and branches were removed. I highly recommend RJR for projects that need a specific consideration."

"We hired Jorge and his team for a landscaping makeover, to clean up the lawn and pretty it up as much as possible based on our budget. I gave Jorge creative control over what to do and they did a great job. He left a few mulched areas empty so I could go out buy/plant my own plants and save some money. Neighbors saw the work and they have hired him on as well."

"JW&P Construction called me in a timely manner, were prompt when arriving to both look at the job and give me a price and actually do the job. There were 4 men who did a great job in taking down leaning trees and cleaning up afterwards. The price was reasonable and well worth it. I would highly recommend them."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Trees provide many benefits, including shade, habitat for local wildlife, and cleaner air, so it’s always a good idea to try an alternative strategy like crown reduction before you chop one down. But sometimes, cutting down a tree is the only option (like if it’s severely diseased). A licensed arborist can assess the tree and recommend the best course of action.

You can never truly stop a maple tree from growing taller, but you can rein in its growth by pruning. Proper pruning helps maintain a safe size for your tree without causing permanent damage. It’s important to start pruning a tree while it’s young, long before it becomes a problem. Otherwise, you may be left with too many hazardous branches to remove at once.

As a general rule, the protected area should be about 1½ times as wide as the canopy of the tree’s leaves. This digging measurement can vary by tree species and the age of the tree. Of course, that can be a lot of fencing for larger trees, which is why our first step is about making difficult decisions on which trees to save.

Generally, you’ll want to prune back the trunk by 1 to 2 feet each year to promote bushy growth. Doing so concentrates vegetative buds closer to the bottom of the tree, where you can easily harvest fruit. For side shoots that are a year old, leave at least six leaves. 

Never remove more than 30% of a tree’s foliage during pruning—even if your tree is really overgrown. Removing this much foliage at a time could kill your tree.

Yes, it’s okay to trim low branches on a tree, also known as limbing up or raising the crown. Essentially, you’ll trim the lower third of the tree (trunk) and leave the upper two-thirds of the tree (crown). Arborists recommend trimming 20% of a tree’s leaves per season for two to three seasons. Trimming low branches allows light to flow through the tree, increasing circulation and making the tree stronger and healthier.
