"We had a very large/dying tree taken down. The work was done promptly, pricing was fair and the workers were very neat. Once all logs were removed, they made sure to clean up all debris. I would definitely use them for any future tree work and would highly recommend Woodchuck to others."

"I had a great experience hiring Arbor Care Tree Management. Led by a certified Arborist, this highly skilled team showed what true professionals can do when they face challenging jobs like mine. I had a 65 ft Spruce tree that stood a few feet from my shed and was surrounded by fencing and structures on my neighbors property. There was no way this tree could be felled by standard methods. Arbor Care found a way to set up a complex rigging system which they used to take the tree down in sections with no damage. Even a family of Wrens that lived in a birdhouse just a few feet from the tree were untouched. I also had them prune two very large trees, a Beech, and an Oak. They literally went out on a limb to reach areas in those trees. Now my trees are healthy again and look so much better. There is a lot more sunlight in my yard now. It makes the yard look and feel airy and open again. My wife and I are looking forward to spending time on our patio now. Arbor Care came with the right equipment to get the job done. You can tell they care about the safety of their tree climbers, and they care about protecting your trees and property too. The results were amazing, the price was fair, and they were a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend Arbor Care and will definitely use them again."

Customers say: True professional

"Great job and immediate response to the request for the job. High end precision equipment and did exactly what was needed. I could have probably gotten my grinding done less expensively but the stumps were close to buried cables and we did not know exactly where they were in relation to the roots and he managed to grind what was above ground and slightly under the surface without damage to the cables underground. Concierge grinding with essentially a small robotic tractor. I misheard the quote and thought I was rounding up with the check I wrote but actually paid a little less than the quote but they said it was fine. Quality contractor."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

In Rochester, attempting DIY tree removal or tree trimming without proper equipment can lead to serious injury and property damage. Many homeowners neglect to check for required permits or fail to verify if a tree is protected under city ordinance. Hiring unlicensed contractors increases liability risks. The City of Rochester Forestry Division recommends always using insured, certified professionals for any significant tree service.

Helpful?

In Rochester, tree removal on private property often requires a permit if the tree is over 6 inches in diameter or located in a designated district. Work involving street trees or trees on public property must be approved by the City of Rochester Forestry Division. Heritage trees, such as those protected under local ordinances, may need additional review by the Urban Forestry Board or the Department of Environmental Services.

Helpful?

Professional tree service in Rochester immediately improves safety by reducing the risk of falling branches during storms. Over time, regular tree maintenance enhances curb appeal, supports healthy tree growth, and helps manage stormwater runoff. According to the Department of Environmental Services, well-maintained trees can increase property value, provide shade, and contribute to better air quality in your neighborhood.

Helpful?

Rochester's cold winters and frequent ice storms increase the risk of limb breakage and tree stress, making regular tree trimming and inspection important. The optimal time for pruning is during late winter or early spring, when trees are dormant. According to the National Weather Service, heavy snowfall and wind events can cause sudden damage, so emergency tree removal is sometimes necessary throughout the year.

Helpful?

In Rochester, homeowners may encounter extra costs for obtaining permits from the City of Rochester, coordinating with utility companies for safe tree removal near power lines, and addressing stump grinding or debris hauling. If tree roots have impacted sidewalks or underground utilities, repairs may be required. After major storms, additional charges for emergency response and specialized equipment are also common.
