How to Select The Best Tree Service or Arborist For Your Needs
The health and appearance of trees are most affected by the person with the pruning saw. Proper planting, pruning and care of a new tree can lead to a structurally strong and healthy tree that will last for many years. Improper care can drastically shorten the life of a tree and waste the money and time invested in raising it to maturity.
Professional tree companies in Rockland will perform tree work properly and safely, but an unqualified service may further damage the tree, and more importantly may not be insured, leaving the liability burden to the client.

Frequently Asked Tree Care Questions (FAQs)
Common tree problems in Rockland County, NY include emerald ash borer, spotted lanternfly, fungal diseases, cankers, root rot, and other insects that can weaken or kill trees. Warning signs include dead branches, thinning leaves, bark damage, holes in the trunk, unusual growths, or a tree that is declining quickly.
If you notice these symptoms, have the tree inspected by an experienced Rockland County tree service. Tree removal may be necessary if disease or pest damage has seriously weakened the tree, made it structurally unstable, or created a safety risk that pruning or treatment cannot reasonably correct. If you need help, give us a call.
Tree trimming mainly improves a tree’s shape and keeps overgrown branches under control. Tree pruning is more focused on the tree’s health and safety by removing dead, damaged, diseased, or poorly growing branches. A professional tree service can recommend the right approach based on the tree’s condition and your property.
Sometimes. Homeowners insurance may cover tree removal when a storm causes a tree to fall on your home, garage, fence, or another insured structure. If the tree simply falls in the yard without damaging covered property, removal may not be covered. Check your policy or contact your insurance company before work begins whenever possible.
Warning signs can include large dead branches, cracks in the trunk, visible decay, leaning, exposed or damaged roots, storm damage, or branches hanging over your home. In many cases, pruning or cabling may solve the problem, while severely damaged or unstable trees may need to be removed for safety. If you are unsure, have an experienced tree professional examine it. Give us a call, and we’ll be glad to help.
It depends on your town or village. Some Rockland County municipalities require a tree-removal permit, especially for larger trees or certain locations. For example, the Village of Suffern requires a permit to remove trees. Before cutting, check your local rules… or ask us, and we’ll help point you in the right direction.
Tree removal costs in Rockland County can vary a lot depending on the size and condition of the tree, where it is located, and how difficult it is to remove safely. A small tree in an open yard may cost under $700, while a large, diseased, or hard-to-reach tree that requires a crane or special equipment can cost $7,000 or more.
The best way to know the real cost is to have a professional inspect the tree and property in person. Two trees that look the same size can require very different removal methods. Suffern Tree Service owner, Andrew Owen, has decades of tree-care experience in Rockland County and can explain your options, what is involved, and the safest, most practical way to handle the job.
Unless otherwise directed by the homeowner, we haul away all the debris produced in the removal of the tree.
Our average firewood length is 18-22.” If your stove requires a smaller length, we process 16” length as well.
All of our firewood is a mixture of hardwoods because they burn hotter, longer, and more evenly. We don’t include softwoods like pines because they burn faster and can produce more smoke, sparks, and resin deposits. Resinous woods create more creosote, which increases the risk of chimney fires.
If it is a straightforward project, you do not need to be there. If the project is a bit more complex and needs itemized pricing, we ask that you be there to ensure that nothing is misconstrued.
Absolutely, we will give you a truckload for free.
