Tree Care Advice Written for Monroe County Yards

Good tree care starts with knowing what you are looking at. This blog is where we put the answers to questions we get on driveways and in backyards all over Rochester: what a tree removal really costs, when to prune a maple, whether that crack in the trunk is a problem, and what to do in the first hour after a limb comes down on the house. Every post is written for people who live under Lake Ontario weather, with lake effect snow, ice, and fast summer storms.

If you are weighing a job right now, a few posts get read more than the rest. Start with our tree removal cost guide to see what moves a price, then check the signs a tree needs removal. Planning pruning? Read the best time to trim trees. After a storm, our post on what to do after storm damage in Rochester NY and the explainer on calling for emergency tree service will save you some stress.

The posts connect back to what we do every day: tree removal, tree trimming, stump grinding, emergency tree removal and storm damage cleanup. We share what we have learned from the work, including the uncomfortable stuff, like when the answer is to leave a tree alone. For general homeowner guidance beyond our own area, the International Society of Arboriculture runs Trees Are Good, a consumer site worth bookmarking.

New posts go up through the year, so check back before each season. Have a question we have not covered? Look through our tree service FAQ, or call (585) 888-9232. Every job starts with a free estimate, and we are open 24 hours, 7 days for emergencies.
