Tree services of all types.

"Great. Steve initially came and gave me an estimate. Very reasonable. The major thing was he was able to come within a reasonable time-within two weeks after the estimate- and complete the job. (Having the driveway resurfaced in October, so it was key to get someone out here and clear things up prior.) Everyone else I contacted were booked up till 2021 in some cases. Not only did he cut and clean the area, he took shovels full of mulch from the cuts and toss them at the back of the garage. Above and beyond what was asked. I highly recommend him."

"Gabe and his crew could not have been better. They took down a giant oak tree that could have been a real problem for the two houses it grew between in one day. They did a great cleanup and were all gentelmen. The pricing was very fair and my wife and I were very pleased with the professionalism they showed, not to mention their expertise. If you need any kind of work done regarding landscaping and removal don't hesitate to call this man...just terrific all around ! Mike and Anne, Binghamton, NY"

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

Any cutting of tree roots can hurt or kill a tree, which is why it's recommended you don’t do it unless the roots are damaging or invasive on a nearby structure like your home. You should never cut more than 15 percent of above-ground tree roots at one time. If you have any questions about cutting tree roots, contact your local arborist.

No, you cannot throw branches from your neighbor’s tree back into their yard, nor can you discard leaves or other plant matter that originated from their yard back over there if it happens to land in your yard. You are responsible for cleaning up plant matter that made its way into your yard.

Completely topping a plum tree is a risky business. Cut too much, and you’ll kill your tree. That said, you do need to trim the top of your tree to encourage bushy growth, maintain your tree’s vase shape, and limit size. 

A plum tree's central leader (or trunk) should never extend more than 3 feet above the highest branch. When you first plant your tree, cut the central leader so it’s 2 to 3 feet tall. As it grows, cut it back 12 to 20 inches until it reaches its desired height. Never prune more than one-third of the new growth.

Yes, forestry mulching can grind stumps, but the level of effectiveness depends on the equipment used. Drum mulchers can break down smaller stumps, but larger or deep-rooted stumps may require a dedicated stump grinder for complete removal. If full stump removal is necessary for replanting or construction, additional excavation may be needed. Always check with your forestry mulching provider to confirm whether they offer stump grinding and if their equipment is suitable for your specific needs.

In some states and municipalities, you will need a permit to remove a tree on your property. In many cases where permits are required, a tree must reach a maximum height before a permit is required to remove it. You can either ask your local building department or a tree removal professional if you’ll need a permit. If you do, you can expect to pay between $50 and $150 for the permit alone. Your tree removal company should pull the permit for you and include the permit fee in your total.
