Tree Service in Rochester, NY

Rochester earned its nickname as the Flower City for a reason, and mature trees are a defining part of its neighborhoods, from the historic homes of the South Wedge and Park Avenue to the tree-lined streets throughout the city. Those older shade trees give Rochester its green, established character, but on city lots close to homes and power lines they need regular, careful work. Taking one down or trimming it back safely takes planning and the right rigging, not a rushed approach.

Rochester winters bring heavy snow off Lake Ontario and the ice storms this part of the state is known for, both of which load up limbs until weak branches give way. A tree that looked fine in the fall can turn into an emergency by mid-winter. Like the rest of the region, the city has also lost many ash trees to the emerald ash borer, which is why every job starts with an honest look at the tree’s health before anyone starts cutting.
