The perfect match for your green needs.

You will often see our crews in public places – at Parks, hospitals, museums, business improvement districts – pruning and caring for trees.  They are skilled in staging their work so as to minimize disruption and maximize safety.  They know how to preserve and enhance the beauty of a landscape, while making trees stable and healthy.  We have good contacts with city agencies, to acquire necessary permits.

We work for BIDs around the five boroughs, sometimes caring for as many as 300 or 400 trees for each. We often not only prune, but also provide soil amendments, IPM and weed control. 

Block and Neighborhood Associations

We have now sometimes taken care of blocks or neighborhoods for a decade or more. It is often striking to see the difference between blocks where we manage trees and adjacent blocks. The trees are healthier and more beautiful, not only as individuals but as a group. Our emergency response team has often made the difference between keeping and losing a tree, especially when accidents or storm damage occur.

Museums

We specialize in helping museums to preserve existing trees and to plan, install and train new plantings. We love making tree health, stability and beauty work together to complement beautiful and historic buildings. 

Residential apartment complexes

It is a pleasure to care for apartment complexes where the residents really care about their trees. We not only provide a full array of pruning, planting and IPM services, but also we often do training of residents, so they can take on the care and pruning of small trees and shrubs. 

Parks and Plazas

Urban parks and plazas are often the city dweller’s primary experience of nature.  We care for a number of important city parks, not only pruning but also regularly assessing their trees. We create full management and succession plans, to assure that tree populations will be preserved and renewed for decades to come. 

Cemeteries

Many of New York’s great tree collections occur in cemeteries, where trees remain undisturbed for a century or more. It is very satisfying to take a cemetery block that is littered with deadwood and to restore it to the stately shape and stature that its designers intended. 

Campuses

Campuses prize large trees, but the trees must be kept safe and stable. Here again, we often create management plans and make regular visits to preserve trees and where necessary toremove them for safety. Our emergency crew is on call to answer immediate needs.

Religious Institutions

Some of New York’s churches have among its better collections of trees. We work to keep them healthy, safe and beautiful.
