"My husband and I are extremely blessed and grateful for the opportunity to have met Rubin from A & R Tree Services and his Crew. We had them remove several trees from our property and the work they did was absolutely amazing. Rubin, along with his crew are very professional, respectful, and extremely hard working. They gave us a very reasonable estimate and the work they did was absolutely beyond what we expected. This is a â Greatâ company and would recommend them to anyone!"

"Couldn?t speak higher about the work done! They showed up exactly when they said they would. They removed 5 trees from my property, one of which was massive and very close to my house. There was a small gap in between my fence line they needed to fell the tree and they nailed it like it was nothing. I appreciated that they cleaned up all the fallen tree sights after and they cut up and stacked all the wood on my property since I?m planning on using it for the winter. 5 trees, 2 of which were tricky to drop, and they had it all done in about 3 hours?? VERY impressive! If I ever need more tree work done, this is the only company I?m calling"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Tree maintenance in Poughkeepsie should include regular pruning to remove dead branches, annual inspections for disease or pests, and soil testing to guide fertilization. Mulch trees each spring to retain moisture and protect roots. After storms, check for broken limbs or hazards. Schedule tree trimming in late fall or winter when trees are dormant, and monitor for signs of emerald ash borer or other local threats year-round.

Helpful?

For tree service projects in Poughkeepsie, select native species like Sugar Maple or Red Oak for planting, as they thrive in local conditions. Use hardwood mulch to conserve moisture and protect roots, and install tree guards to deter wildlife. Invest in sharp pruning shears and pole saws for tree trimming, and use slow-release fertilizer suited to Hudson Valley soils. Always prioritize sturdy rigging and safety gear for tree removal jobs.

Helpful?

Poughkeepsie’s climate affects tree service needs throughout the year. Cold winters can cause ice damage, requiring emergency tree removal or branch trimming. Humid summers stress trees, making regular watering and pest checks important. Wet spring soil may delay heavy equipment use, while fall offers ideal conditions for planting and structural pruning. Proximity to the Hudson River can also influence soil stability and scheduling for tree care.

Helpful?

In Poughkeepsie, be wary if a tree service provider cannot show proof of insurance or skips discussing utility line safety. Quotes that don’t mention necessary permits or are much lower than others may signal shortcuts in tree removal or trimming. Avoid companies without local references or a physical address, and never pay the full amount upfront. Confirm that cleanup and compliance with local tree regulations are included in the quote.

Helpful?

Homes in Poughkeepsie’s historic or hillside areas may present challenges for tree trimming or removal. Narrow driveways, close-set buildings, or steep slopes can limit equipment access. Older homes might have shallow or unknown utility lines, increasing risk during tree service. If large trees are near your foundation or roof, extra planning is needed to prevent property damage and ensure safe, efficient work.
