Tree reviews in Brooklyn, New York

I hired Jake, owner of Lively Oaks, to remove a small tree and prune other shrubs in my yard. They did an excellent job. The tree was removed, and other small trees and bushes were pruned with their health and beauty in mind. After, the team cut the trunk into firewood and neatly stacked the wood. They laid out cedar chips and cleaned up the yard leaving it looking like it was just professionally landscaped. Jake knows his trees and pruned them so that they’ll thrive in years to come. I highly recommend Lively Oaks.

Highly recommend Lively Oak. Jake and Fadiga are fantastic – easygoing, highly skilled, and clearly passionate about what they do. Communication was excellent, pricing was fair, and the pruning of our very large backyard redwood required serious technical climbing, which they handled effortlessly. The site was left spotless. We’ll be using them for all our tree care needs moving forward.

Jake is absolutely fantastic. I couldn’t imagine anyone else taking care of this job with more enthusiasm and genuine care for the tree and work. We had two huge blue spruces and an eastern red cedar that had grown near power lines and the house while suffering strong die back. They’d been a nightmare for us for a couple of years, but only because we hadn’t found these guys. Jake did fantastic work, the price was easily the best of the many quotes we’ve gotten, and honestly I will never believe another arborist would have done the work with as much skill. It was amazing thing to see, and to learn from. He’s gotta be the best in the Catskills. Very very highly recommend.

Jake is a real pro and a pleasure to deal with. I highly recommend his lumberjack services.

Last weekend, on a Saturday morning, he skillfully and quickly brought down four dead ash trees (two were quite large) on our property in Halcott Center, felling them with remarkable proficiency in placement. (Catskills woods are suffering from ash borers, , resulting in lots of dead ash. At least we can convert them to firewood now that these four trees are safely on the ground.)

I expected no less, having witnessed him a few weeks before take down a neighbor’s giant dying spruce tree and a rotting large cedar tree, both situated very near the road running by their house.

It was a pleasure working with Jake from Lively Oak. He was able to prune two trees in my front yard, and help diagnose and try some remediation for a struggling dogwood. He also took the time to give me some tips about self-pruning so I can keep the lower branches (not climbing any trees myself, though it does look like fun!) tidier between professional pruning sessions.

I also felt like he was quick to note trees that *didn’t* need any work, which I appreciated.

I wouldn’t hesitate to work with them again. Thanks, Jake!

The absolute best tree service in NYC, Tree Tech did a phenomenal job pruning our 90 year old ornamental black mulberry

Eli did great work cutting back a mulberry and maple tree in my back yard, he is a skilled technician and his fine pruning skills are impressive as evident from his work hewing my hedges in the front of my house. I will definitely use Tree Tech again.

Huge thanks to Eli for giving my beloved pear tree a bright new future and tidying up my my whole backyard! I love that he's local, a true tree whisperer, and very communicative. I've used other arborists in the past, but now I'm a Tree Tech evangelist.

After my father died, we wanted to plant a Japanese maple out front in his honor. Elias at Tree Tech found a great tree for us at a local nursery. Looking forward to seeing it grow this season.

Eli is amazing to work with! He was very thoughtful about how to prune Q Gardens' beloved but problematic mulberry tree to best effect for maximizing light over our crop beds. He introduced us to the concept of pruning trees to reduce the sense of protection from predatory birds that they can give rats. His work was efficient and quick -- the pruning and cleaning up was done in just one afternoon. We feel very lucky to have found Eli and TreeTech!

Totally professional. Fast, clean, reasonably priced. Great job! Neighbors happy too! Thank you!

Great service Came on time were very helpful and professional did a great job removing my trees and cleanup. I highly recommend them great great service. A very reasonable price

Worked quickly to resolve my problem.

Very easy to work with did a great job

The staff is polite. They're coming to do some work for me on Tuesday.

Very professional, quick and most importantly cleaned up afterwards.

The crew arrived on time, and cleaned up all debris. They removed a tremendous tree from a shared driveway without causing any damage.
Highly Recommend!

Excellent service and extremely professional. Incredible emergency response and service under severe weather conditions. Highly recommend this company. They can handle any small or large project.

The process was amazing from beginning to end...David who gave me the estimate blew away the other two quotes i had gotten...crew was professional...the project was supposed to take 7 hours due to the size of the tree but were done in 4....they cleaned up nicely....highly recommended!

We had tree removal on our property. The crew work professionally and done on timely manner. Excellent teamwork and I am pleased with their performance.

I screened about 4-5 tree removal services in Brooklyn, and I am so glad I went with Dragonetti. Rick and his crew just wrapped up a job at my house where they removed a large tree and trimmed another tree in my backyard. It was not an easy job - I live in a Brooklyn townhouse where the streets are busy, parking is limited, and there are all kinds of logistical issues and risks. But the dragonetti crew are true professionals and made a complex job into a clean, painless one.

Here’s what I loved: Rick contacted me in advance before his crew’s arrival, and they arrived on time. This is a huge win, as it let me plan my schedule accordingly. The crew of about ten people got to work right away. Since they had to go through my house to reach the backyard, they put coverings on my walls, floors and hallways to make sure that everything is protected and clean since they’ll be carrying wood, branches and equipment through the house. Additionally, since there were cars (not ours) on the street that would be in their way, they covered those cars with protection to ensure they would not get dirty/scratched from any debris. I love that they care deeply on ensuring a clean, safe job with minimal disruption to your surrounding area. They even cleaned up the neighbor’s yard for any debris/branches that fell there during the tree removal!

Rick is an excellent crew manager and communicator, asked for my input/consent when making decisions, and helped me clearly understand the work his crew was doing. He clearly has deep expertise and many years of experience.

Needless to say, Rick and his crew got the job done. They move quickly and expertly, and are very thorough in their work. And best of all, they cleaned up afterwards. Honestly - I look at my house and my backyard, and it’s like they were never there. They left the place so clean, and I’m thrilled. This is exactly what a professional tree removal service should look like.

I highly recommend Dragonetti for their tree removal service.
