Tree Service & Removal Brooklyn NY

Brooklyn's Tree Care Specialists

New York City has over 650,000 street trees — and millions more on private property. In Brooklyn, that means mature London planes towering over Park Slope sidewalks, century-old oaks in Bay Ridge backyards, and storm-battered maples all over Bushwick and Williamsburg. Trees make the borough livable, but a neglected or storm-damaged tree can threaten your roof, your power lines, and your family.

Brooklyn Tree Pros handles the full life of a tree: safe removal when a tree is dead or dangerous, expert pruning to keep healthy trees healthy, stump grinding so nothing is left behind, and emergency storm response when a nor'easter or summer thunderstorm brings one down. We work in tight Brooklyn backyards, narrow side streets, and everything in between.

Every job starts with a free on-site assessment. We'll tell you honestly whether your tree can be saved with pruning and treatment or whether removal is the safer call — and we'll put a fixed price in writing before any work begins.

Street Trees vs. Your Trees: What NYC Homeowners Must Know

Here's the rule that surprises most Brooklyn homeowners: street trees belong to the city. If the tree is between the sidewalk and the curb — or anywhere on city property — only NYC Parks can prune or remove it. Call 311 to request work; hiring a private company to cut a street tree can land you a fine. We handle trees on your property: backyards, front yards, driveways, and commercial lots.

Private-property trees are your responsibility, and that includes the liability. If your dead tree falls on a neighbor's house or a parked car, you're on the hook. After major storms — nor'easters in winter, tropical systems in late summer — we see a surge of emergency calls from homeowners who wish they'd dealt with a leaning or hollow tree months earlier. A free assessment now beats an insurance claim later.

Wondering what the work costs? Our 2026 NYC tree removal cost guide breaks down realistic pricing by tree size, access, and urgency — most Brooklyn removals land between $800 and $3,000.

Common Trees We Work On in NYC

Brooklyn's canopy is dominated by a handful of species, and each has its quirks. London plane trees — the mottled-bark giants on so many streets — shed bark and drop heavy limbs. Norway maples grow fast but rot from the inside. Honey locusts drop thorny seed pods. Callery pears split apart in storms once they hit 20 years. And the invasive tree-of-heaven, which hosts the spotted lanternfly, spreads aggressively through vacant lots. Our tree health care service diagnoses disease, pests, and structural problems before they become removal jobs.
