Traveling from Hawaii, stopping in New York for a few days, and continuing on to Pennsylvania(PA)…read moreto visit family. We brought cooked/frozen Samoan food for our PA family (IYKYK), and I was worried because our NY hotel did not have a restaurant/freezer space for us to use. Checked Yelp and Armato Ice & Firewood Co. popped up. I messages the number at 8pm, and Tony responded within 15min. I explained the situation, and he apologized because he said my order was too small for a delivery (I only needed 5lbs), so I would have to pick up dry ice from their shop on E 88th Street. Cool, no problem. Next morning, 8:30 am, i went to business address to pick up 5lbs, and called Tony but he was stuck in rush hour traffic for another hour. He graciously offered to drop off dry ice to my hotel before noon, during their normal deliveries. Even though it was a small order, he understood my situation and cared enough to help me keep my food frozen for the next few days, so my PA family can enjoy authentic Samoan food. Thank you for your help, Tony! Your kindness and efficiency shows that the Aloha spirit exists in New York! Mahalo

Armato Ice & Firewood is so necessary during the heat of Summer and the dead of Winter. I remember…read moretimes when we had issues keeping food and drinks cold and there was a run on ice. Places like Rite Aid in my building started stocking up on ice. This company is on notice 24 hours and will deliver it to your home or business. This morning the very friendly employees were loading the freezer in my neighborhood. These are well stocked for the delivery men to pick up the ice for delivery when you need ice. I'm telling you that if you have a picnic or big celebration you will have plenty of ice and it's delivered to your door. I'm recommending!

Awesome job from Tarzan Tree Removal!…read more I wanted a tall tree (over 4 stories high) removed before the winter and contacted several tree removal companies. Plenty of them either took long to respond or came back with high estimates. Some companies didn't even respond at all. Joe and his team responded quickly and gave a really reasonable price. In addition to that, they were able to schedule the job the same day because they were in the area and got there within 2 hours. The crew of about 6 men chopped and removed the tree within 1.5 hours and cleaned up the area. By noon, everything was already done and gone. The stump remained but was treated for easy future removal. I was super impressed because I considered it a really big tree for Brooklyn standards, but they made it look so easy. Phenomenal job! I highly recommend. Nothing beats a painless experience.

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY - SCAM ALERT…read more I hired this company back in May 2025 to remove a large tree from my backyard. We paid them $7,000 -- a wildly overpriced amount -- but because they did a good job for us in 2022, we trusted them again. That trust was a huge mistake. It is now three months later and my yard is still in complete despair. The owner, Joe, specifically agreed to also remove the stump, and yet it still sits rotting in my backyard. Because of this, weeds have overtaken the space and my family hasn't been able to enjoy our backyard the entire summer. I have called, texted, and left voicemails multiple times. Joe occasionally responds just enough to string me along, then disappears to chase new projects and new customers' money, while completely ignoring the work I already paid him for. His behavior is unprofessional, dishonest, and absolutely disgraceful. At this point, I've contacted officials, and my attorney will be handling this matter moving forward. Save yourself the money, time, and stress -- this company will scam you, waste your summer, and leave your yard in worse condition than before.

But a huge yew tree did not survive this past winter and I needed it removed. Alex to the rescue! Gave me a very good price THE SAME DAY and came the FOLLOWING DAY to do the job. Four really nice guys, and later Alex himself, removed the tree in 2 hours. Absolutely no damage done to my precious garden!! They were meticulous in protected my hallway through which all the branches and logs have to pass and cleaned up everything when the job was done. I recommend Power Tree without reservation. I will never use anyone else. I'm spoiled rotten.

Been using a Woodstove for 20 years and most wood catches even if a little green. This is trash. Definitely not the wrong business - as owner has claimed in other reviews. It's dirty and unseasoned.

I called NYC Firewood this morning and 15 bundles wood was delivered to my apartment by 2pm ,same day!. The wood was a perfect size for my small fireplace (get 12" size wood) and my small apartment (get "City Cord" - 15 bundles). Not only was the service good, but the wood is nothing like the wet plywood you get at the corner deli. There is no need to dry the wood out for weeks before use; there is no mold and no critters hiding in the cracks. The wood burns clean with no chemicals or excess smoke. NYC Firewood (A Dimitri's Garden Center operation) is the best the city has to offer, unless you go upstate and chop it yourself.

I'm not normally buying plants or plant-related products because the only success I've had in my apartment is one type of succulent (the Hobbit Jade Plant) that seems to thrive no matter what. That being said, I wanted to combine two separate plants into one pot on my window sill and needed the soil and a rectangular planter. Note - The only rectangular planters I saw were plastic, the soil was pricy compared to Home Depot, and an additional Hobbit Jade Plant was pricier there than what I've seen elsewhere. That being said, there may be other items competitive in price or not available elsewhere... plus (at least for me) it's convenient. Plus, it sells items like soil in smaller quantities, which may be convenient for people with small apartments. Recommend coming and checking Urban Garden Center out, including its chickens both in the hen house and roaming around free range!

Avoid this business!!!: UGC justifies bad behavior without apology. Customers are not respected,…read morefrom rude staff answering the phone with attitude, lack of communication regarding stated arrival time, to poor installation of plants that is not done with accepted standard practice of professional gardeners for the health of plants. Also, the plants that cost me a couple of thousand dollars had many broken branches because the workers rushed to install them. They also want payment up front before any delivery/installation/scheduling. It was a horrible and stressful experience. Informing the owner of my experience resulted only in his making excuses for USG's bad actions with no apology whatsoever. ***And because I posted my review, the owner Dimitri vindictively told me that he would no longer stand behind the plants or the work done to make things right. He didn't like my honest review. Prior to my review, he was willing to make right his failures, if needed. It is disappointing that UGC is unable to acknowledge its mistakes or shortcomings, and that they do not know how to interact with customers.
