Professional Arborist & Crane Services

Residential • Commercial • Municipal – Hudson Valley, NY

Hazard trees, tight quarters, storm damage—whatever’s lurking overhead, our ISA-certified crew removes it safely and cleanly with on-site cranes and precision rigging.

It's Only Easy 'cause We're Good!

We begin every project with a walk-through of your property, identifying hazard trees, dead limbs, and fire-prone areas that need attention.

From crane access to climbing strategy, we plan the safest and most effective way to remove large or technical trees—especially those close to structures or utilities.

Our experienced crew gets to work, using professional rigging and heavy equipment to safely remove limbs, clear defensible space, and minimize disturbance.

Every project ends with a full site cleanup, final safety check, and walk-through—so you’re left with a safer, clearer, and worry-free property.

Our Core Services

Large Tree Removal

We specialize in taking down large, dangerous, or hard-to-access trees—especially those threatening structures, driveways, or utilities.  Using expert rigging techniques and crane-assisted support when needed, our team safely dismantles trees of all sizes with minimal disruption to your property.

Ideal for:

Trees near buildings or power lines
Overgrown or storm-damaged trees
Insurance-related removals

Tree Pruning

Proper pruning protects tree health, improves structure, and prevents hazards.  From crown thinning to deadwood removal, our team carefully shapes and maintains trees to promote safety, longevity, and natural beauty.

Types of pruning:

Structural & corrective
Aesthetic shaping
Canopy clearance over homes or roads
Deadwood & storm damage removal

Tree Consulting

Sometimes, you don’t need a chainsaw—you need a second opinion.  Our ISA Certified Arborist provides expert consulting to help you make informed decisions about your trees, including health assessments, preservation planning, and construction impact evaluations.

Great for:

Pre-purchase property evaluations
Long-term tree care plans
Municipal or commercial assessments

Hazardous Tree Evaluation

Not sure if that leaning tree is safe? We’ll tell you the truth.  We evaluate trees for signs of structural instability, decay, or root failure—and recommend the safest, most responsible next step.

Evaluations include:

On-site inspection
Risk rating & recommendations
Documentation for insurance or permitting (if needed)

Stump Grinding

Don’t let old stumps ruin a clean yard or become a tripping hazard.  We offer professional stump grinding services to remove the remaining base after tree removal—fully grinding below surface level for a smoother, safer finish.

Tree Planting

Plant the right tree in the right place, the right way.  We help clients choose suitable species, prepare the soil, and install new trees properly—ensuring healthy growth and long-term success.
