🪵 Tree Trimming & Pruning

Regular trimming and pruning aren’t just about appearances—they’re essential investments in your property’s safety and your trees’ long-term health.

The Difference Between Trimming and Pruning

Tree Trimming: Primarily focuses on shaping the tree for aesthetics and clearing branches away from structures, walkways, and power lines.
Tree Pruning: A more targeted process of removing specific branches to improve the tree’s health, structure, and safety.

Benefits of Professional Pruning

Enhanced Tree Health: Removing dead, diseased, or crossing branches allows for better air circulation and sunlight penetration.
Improved Safety: Eliminates hazardous branches that could fall and cause injury or property damage.
Increased Sunlight: Allows more light to reach your lawn, garden, and home.
Better Structure: Guides the tree’s growth for a stronger, more balanced form.
Higher Property Value: Well-maintained trees significantly boost curb appeal.

Stump Grinding & Removal

That leftover stump isn’t just an eyesore—it’s a problem. Let our team eliminate it safely and efficiently. Able Tree Care provides affordable tree stump removal.

Why Remove a Tree Stump?

Prevent Pests: Old stumps attract termites, ants, beetles, and other wood-boring pests that can eventually spread to your home or healthy trees.
Eliminate Trip Hazards: Stumps hidden in grass or landscaping are dangerous for children, guests, and lawn equipment.
Free Up Space: Reclaim valuable yard space for gardening, play areas, or new plantings.
Improve Aesthetics: Create a smooth, clean landscape free of unsightly obstacles.
Stop Regrowth: Some tree species will continue trying to sprout from the stump, creating ongoing maintenance headaches.

Our professional stump grinders grind the stump well below ground level, removing the eyesore and allowing you to use the space however you wish.

Frequently Asked Questions About Tree Service in the Bronx

How much does tree removal cost in the Bronx?

Tree removal costs vary based on several factors: tree size, location (proximity to buildings/power lines), complexity of the job, and whether the tree is dead or alive. The best way to get an accurate price is to request a free, in-person estimate. Our arborist will evaluate all factors and provide a firm, upfront quote with no hidden fees.

Do I need a permit to remove a tree in NYC?

In many cases, yes. New York City has strict regulations regarding tree removal, especially for certain tree species and sizes. As your local experts, we’re familiar with NYC Department of Parks & Recreation requirements and can help determine if a permit is needed—and guide you through the process.

What should I do if a tree falls on my property?

First, ensure everyone’s safety—stay away from downed power lines and unstable trees. Then call us immediately at (347) 245-5106. We offer 24/7 emergency service and can respond quickly to assess the situation, secure your property, and begin safe removal. We’ll also work with your insurance company if needed.

How do I know if a tree is dead or just dormant?

During winter, many trees lose their leaves and appear dead. Key signs of a truly dead tree include:

No leaves during the growing season
Brittle, dry branches that snap easily
Cracked or peeling bark
Fungus growing on the trunk
Evidence of severe pest infestation
Leaning trunk or major structural damage

If you’re unsure, call us for a professional assessment.

What is the best time of year to prune trees?

While dead or hazardous branches can be removed anytime, the ideal time for most pruning is during late winter or early spring while trees are dormant. This minimizes stress and allows wounds to heal quickly before spring growth. However, some species have specific requirements—our arborists can recommend the optimal timing for your trees.

Are you licensed and insured?

Absolutely. Able Tree Care is fully licensed, bonded, and insured. We’re happy to provide proof of insurance upon request. Your safety and peace of mind are our top priorities.
