"Highly recommend this tree service. Logan got right back to us on any questions on our tree removal. He set a date and was there at 7:15 AM with an amazing crew. They had everything done in time said. Totally cleaned things up. Very professional will contact them again if needed!"

"I had already hired Steve to take down the 50' maple in my front yard when I noticed it has shifted and that is was likely a large branch would hit my roof before he was scheduled to be there. I called him on a Saturday, he showed up at 5:00PM and trimmed enough of the tree to protect the house and finished the job the next couple of days, while trying to be quiet because I have a family member that works nights! Tree is down, price was excellent, he was courteous and a pleasure to work with. I will be calling him again for more work later next year."

"I contacted Highland Tree Services because they were highly rated. I needed trimming on all three sides of my back yard due to neighbors’ tree branches hanging over my fences, and my Japanese Maple needed to be trimmed and thinned. Justin came for an estimate and noticed a problem at the crotch of the maple which he treated when he came back to do all the work. Justin and Dan were pleasant and professional and worked very hard in hot, humid weather for hours. All trimmings were removed and put through their chipper. I would recommend Highland for any kind of tree service you might need."

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

When hiring for tree service in Syracuse, prioritize companies with certified arborists, active liability and workers' compensation insurance, and a proven track record with local tree species like sugar maple and eastern hemlock. Ask about their familiarity with Syracuse's heavy snowfall and storm conditions, and confirm they follow guidelines from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. Always request written estimates and verify references through local sources.

Helpful?

In Syracuse, unexpected costs during tree service can include permit fees from the Syracuse Parks & Recreation Department, charges for stump grinding, debris hauling, or lawn restoration after heavy equipment use. Additional expenses may occur if utility clearance is needed or if access is limited by fences or narrow lots. Clarify with your tree removal professional what's included in the estimate to avoid surprises.

Helpful?

Tree service professionals in Syracuse should follow OSHA standards, using helmets, chainsaw chaps, and fall protection. They must assess for hidden hazards like ice-damaged limbs and be trained for electrical safety when working near power lines. The Syracuse City Arborist recommends setting up clear work zones and using proper signage if near public streets. Homeowners should keep pets and children indoors for everyone's safety.

Helpful?

Homeowners in Syracuse often make mistakes like hiring uninsured contractors, neglecting to check for required permits, or pruning trees such as oaks during high-risk disease periods. Ignoring advice from certified arborists or failing to address storm-damaged limbs promptly can lead to property damage. The Syracuse City Arborist advises consulting local experts and following best practices for tree trimming and removal to protect both trees and property.

Helpful?

In Syracuse, permits are generally required for tree removal on public property, work in historic districts, or projects near power lines. The Syracuse Parks & Recreation Department and the Syracuse City Arborist oversee these regulations. For trees near utility lines, coordination with National Grid may be necessary. Always check with these authorities before starting, as local ordinances and requirements can change based on location and tree size.
