Tree Service Forest Hills Queens

Forest Hills — especially the landmarked Forest Hills Gardens — has the oldest, largest residential trees in Queens: old-growth oaks and tulip trees that predate the neighborhood itself. These are magnificent, high-value trees that demand expert care, and when one needs to come down, it demands serious equipment. Brooklyn Tree Pros handles Forest Hills' giants with crane-assisted removal, expert pruning, and stump grinding.

Local Tree Notes

The Gardens' canopy includes trees over a century old, and their size means every job is technical: 36-inch trunks, 70-foot spreads, and historic homes below. The private streets of Forest Hills Gardens have their own regulations — check with the Gardens Corporation before major tree work. Elsewhere in Forest Hills, aging Norway maples with internal rot are the most common removal we do.

What Tree Work Costs in Forest Hills

Pricing follows the same ranges as the rest of our service area: most removals $800–$3,000, trimming $300–$800 per tree, stump grinding $150–$400. Tight access — narrow side yards, no street parking for the chipper — can add to the price, which is why every job starts with a free on-site assessment and a fixed written quote. See our 2026 NYC cost guide for the full breakdown.

One Forest Hills rule worth repeating: street trees belong to NYC Parks. If your tree is on the sidewalk or curb strip, call 311 — only the city can prune or remove it. Our permit and 311 guide explains exactly how to tell.
