We needed to move trees, shrubs, and flowers from our roof garden to the sidewalk, which involved removing them from their planters, lowering them down a five-storey building, and then transplanting them to new containers on the sidewalk. The crew from Arborpolitan was absolutely great--knowledgeable, efficient, careful, attentive, polite, easy to work with (this list could go on). In addition, I was unhappy because I hated to see our roof garden dismantled (something that was necessary because of an upcoming roof replacement), and the members of the crew were all sympathetic to my situation and very kind, humane. They were a pleasure to work with. I recommend this company wholeheartedly, without any reservation. read more

HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION !!! Arborpolitan's staff combine scientific expertise with ethical care. We have had them remove menacing trumpet vines and consulted on the health care of cherished Boston Ivy that face all manner of urban and ecological stresses . read more

Very professional staff. We have a tree of heaven (our only tree) that had a lot of spotted lantern flies. The past few years I controlled with sticky tape and a daily fly swatting. This year the SLFs won! My yard was covered in honey dew. Deck plants etc and it seemed to be killing my neighbors trees with the heavy dew on the leaves. Arborpolitan used an insecticide and a few days later they started to all fall off the tree. I pick them up and toss them daily to keep the bees or any other insects from investing any possible insecticide. Arborpolitan also gave us an estimate to trim the tree this winter. They were a little more expensive than other quotes I got but they are a smaller company in Brooklyn so I decided to give them the project. read more

HOMEOWNER BEWARE! On top of heavy follow up for a quote, requesting estimates and scheduling, we then had the severe disappointment of finding out that they could not clear the tree 6-8 feet from the building! That was my original goal and what I wanted in the original scope of work! It's definitely listed on there but if you come to my house now, you can see that the branches are still too close to the building. What a joke that I ended up paying over $2000 to then find out that they could not cut anything beyond a 2" branch when he originally said 4". My neighbors were laughing at the ridiculousness of it all. They trimmed for 5 hours and left a mess behind in front of my home. Learn from my mistake and book elsewhere. I gave 5 stars because it's a small business at the end of the day and I hope they can pivot and serve the tree and homeowner better. read more

Arborpolitan was recommended by certified arborist Alec Baxt because he did not have the equipment to grind down the stumps. One of the trees was a large weedy paper mulberry with roots going everywhere that needed to ground down so it would not regrow. Arborpolitan removed: 15'' Blue Atlas Cedar (Alive) 13'' Blue Atlas Cedar (Dead, trunk) 10'' Paper Mulberry 2 Norway maple sprouts growing through fence in back alley They gave an estimate and scheduled the jobs. The crew arrived on time and left the area clean. I also highly recommend certified arborist Alec Baxt (917) 500-0448 for jobs that don't require stump grinding. read more

They did excellent work from start to finish. They were on time; they did excellent work; they were done in very little time; and they cleaned up afterward. read more

I watched this company expertly remove a 5 story tall dead tree in a tight spot behind a NYC townhouse. The tree overhung 2 adjoining properties. It was felled methodically and meticulously. read more

Responsive, listened carefully to our needs, a delightful crew that did an amazing job.

Arborpolitan did a beautiful job cutting back our huge trees from the house and pruning and removing dead wood. This is the third time I've used them over a 5 year period. They've done a great job every time. Justin, Licenced arborist, is a pro at assessing and giving professional advice. They care about the trees. Always on time, work hard, reasonable pricing, super careful with safety and cleanup. I can't say enough about them. They're the best. read more

I had a strange experience with these folks. A couple weeks ago, we made an appointment for them to come inspect my Brooklyn backyard fruit trees--a big pear tree and a peach tree. They never showed up and were not in touch the day of the appointment, and they never responded to my followups by email and phone. What makes this strange is that a few years ago they came and worked on the pear tree and other trees in my yard. They did a good job and were friendly, so why they've gone entirely AWOL this time is a mystery. read more

I was having a problem with my neighbor's tree. 3" diameter branches were breaking off and crashing into my yard and on the internet/phone lines that service the surrounding houses. I decided to bite the bullet and pay for an inspection because my neighbor for whatever reason doesn't give a shit how his tree is affecting everyone around him. Aaron from Arborpolitan came out and did an inspection. I learned a lot from our meeting including what type of tree, its health status, and recommended actions. He sent me an incredibly thorough, detailed report, which was very well written (which is so rare these days). I gave a copy to my neighbor who without reading it, rejected it and sent it back. Anyway, all the law will allow me to do is prune what hangs over the property line, again it's not my tree. A second appointment was made with Arborpolitan to do that pruning. A crew of two guys came out, a climber and a spotter, and they did a great job cutting back the tree in a responsible way. Meaning while the law says I can cut anything on my side, I can't cut so much as to threaten the health or kill the tree. These guys with their climbing rigs (not amateurs from the corner) were very professional , knowledgeable and personable and cut the tree back in a way that made it look "balanced", not too much from any one spot but far enough back from the house roof to discourage squirrels from having a party on my roof. They cleaned as they worked and a final clean up at the end. In the end, after two interactions with Arborpolitan, I would recommend them to anyone who needs tree inspections or service. As for price, I live in the Midwood, Kings Highway area of Brooklyn, not Park Slope, and found their prices for the inspection report and tree trimming VERY reasonable. read more

Smart, responsive, easy to talk to. Justin oversaw the planting of new street trees in front of our building, when a much larger firm was absolutely stymied by the city bureaucracy. He's got tons of experience and really cares about the work. Strongly recommended for owners of small buildings especially. read more

Justin and his team were fantastic--we have a big old crabapple in our new backyard that hadn't been attended to in probably decades. There were large areas of dead branches and places where vines had totally taken over--I was worried the whole thing might need to be removed. Justin squeezed us into his schedule, and gave us two options with very fairy pricing especially considering the skill and care they took on this job. His team did such a beautiful job--our tree looks so healthy now, we are so happy we can keep this old giant in our family! The team was also so pleasant, they were careful to clean up their mess and friendly with our dog and kids who were very curious to see them climbing the tree (as expertly as the squirrels!) I highly recommend Arborpolitan--when the time comes, we'll most certainly hire them again. Thanks guys!! read more

In short, best crew I have ever worked with. The team that worked on two tall trees in my backyard was extremely professional and polite. I highly recommend this company! read more

Have worked with Justin and team twice. Great work both times. Would recommend to anyone who needs tree removal or planting.

Justin and his team are awesome! We had a huge tree in the back yard that had never been trimmed. It was a dendrology nightmare with a mess of dead limbs, ivy and just general chaos. It was a relief to find someone who was so knowledgable and really cared about trees. Ethan and David did beautiful work and were both smart, funny and experienced. Not sure it gets better than that! Thanks guys! read more

Had to wait 3 weeks to get an appointment. When they came they told me they would send me a quote for the job - this was one week ago I still haven't heard back - and that they are pretty full so won't be able to do the job fast. Even though I expressly told them that the job is quite urgent as branches of my tree are hitting my roof, damaging the house. Seems that they couldn't care less. That is the feeling I had when they came for the appointment and the fact that I have to wait over a week to get an "express quote" confirms this feeling. read more

Justin, Ethan, & Jason were the most knowledgable of the 4 I interviewed to seriously trim my Four-story maple. They were highly skilled which the tight setting required and a lot of fun. They were competitively priced, so I was sold by their knowledge and time they took to evaluate my tree. I have no reservation in recommending them to any tree lover! read more
