Professional Tree Care for the Ithaca Area
Every property and every tree is different. We provide straightforward recommendations based on the condition of the tree, the surrounding property, safe access and what you want to accomplish.
Otis personally evaluates each job and is there to perform and oversee the work when the crew returns.

Storm-damaged trees can create immediate concerns around homes, driveways, utilities and other structures.
Whether it’s an immediate hazardous situation or non-emergency clean up we respond to fallen trees, broken limbs and hazardous storm damage and can help determine the safest next step. When appropriate, we can also provide job photos and documentation that may be helpful for an insurance claim.
For an active emergency, call us directly at 607-379-2300 -
Some of the hardest tree jobs are not difficult just because of the size of the tree, they're difficult because of where the tree is located.
Our 90-foot CMC spider lift combines high reach with a compact footprint, allowing us to access many backyards, narrow areas and properties where conventional bucket trucks or larger equipment may not fit.
Combined with professional rigging and years of hands-on experience, this gives us more options for safely approaching challenging removals and pruning work. -
Trees sometimes need to be removed because they are dead, declining, storm damaged, hazardous, interfering with structures or simply no longer appropriate for the property.
We handle removals ranging from straightforward open-yard trees to large and difficult trees with limited access. Before work begins, we evaluate the tree, nearby structures, access and the safest way to complete the removal while protecting the surrounding property.
Our equipment and rigging capabilities allow us to carefully dismantle trees when they cannot simply be dropped. -
Whether you're opening up an overgrown area, preparing for a project or clearing unwanted trees and brush, we can help develop a practical plan for the property.
The scope can range from selective clearing to larger tree and brush removal. Contact us to walk the property and discuss what you want to accomplish. -
Pruning can address dead or damaged limbs, clearance concerns, storm damage and other problem areas within a tree.
We evaluate what you want to accomplish and the condition of the tree before recommending the work. Our goal is to make thoughtful cuts while considering safety, structure and the surrounding property. -
Once a tree is gone, the remaining stump can take up usable space, interfere with mowing or landscaping and become an unwanted feature in the yard.
We offer stump grinding as part of a tree removal project. We'll discuss access, stump size and the intended use of the area so you know what to expect before work begins. -
Need branches or brush processed and cleaned up? Our commercial chipper allows us to efficiently handle material generated by tree work and selected brush-cleanup projects.
We'll discuss how you'd like the material handled, including whether chips or larger wood will remain on site or whether hauling is needed as part of your estimate. -
Good tree care isn't only about removal.
We can help select trees appropriate for your property and local growing conditions, source healthy nursery stock, plant new trees and evaluate certain transplanting projects.
