Hard sidewalks, cramped soil, pollution and harsh winters have a negative effect on trees. Which is why our ISA Certified Arborists Serving Manhattan, NY can make all the difference. All of our diagnoses, trimming, and treatments are based on tested and science-backed standards, with our ISA-certified arborists having qualifications from the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA). Our arborist tree trimming professionals look at each tree on a case-by-case basis, catching things that others miss. A local, certified arborist has first-hand experience of Manhattan's urban environment and will provide attention to the trees, rather than a one-size-fits-all approach from a far-remote company.
Rural trees have never encountered the issues that urban trees have: root damage from construction projects, salt spray from winter roads and a smaller canopy space.

The tree service that we offer does more than just trim branches when we take care of your trees. Our professional tree care experts will assess the overall health of a tree, its root system, its bark health, leaf color, branch angles and create a care plan that works for that tree. When properly done, arborist tree trimming helps maintain even the oldest trees in Manhattan for years to come.

Silver Maples need structural pruning to reduce weak unions, thin dense growth, and prevent storm breakage. Red Maples are monitored for disease and pests, with affected limbs removed and soil care used to support healthy growth. Pin Oaks require careful lower limb removal and soil treatment for common nutrient issues. American Elms are inspected regularly for disease, with infected wood removed early and preventive treatments applied. Weeping Willows need space management, root control, and pruning of heavy hanging branches to maintain structure and reduce insect risk.
Not all trees that are sick need to be removed and not all trees that look healthy should be removed. What arborists do in preserving trees and making the proper decision for removing one, is make the right decision on the basis of what is known, rather than what is thought to be. Our arborists at Fordham combine drilling (resistograph) and aerial examination to evaluate internal decay before determining for removal. We save the tree via cabling/bracing, fertilization and selective pruning when it can be saved. When removal is the only safe option, we handle it with controlled rigging and section-by-section lowering to protect structures, utility lines, and people on the ground.
