About Our Team: Professional Tree Removal Specialists

Whether you want to maintain your home’s appearance or make the neighbors jealous, you’ve come to the right place.  Proper aesthetics and landscaping can work wonders for your yard in terms of visual appeal.  And, nothing ruins the look of a property like unruly trees and greenery.

Do you have a tree that’s taking up too much space on your lawn?  Maybe it’s blocking sunlight to your pool, or growing a little too close to your home or the power lines for comfort.  Or, maybe a storm knocked down some branches in your yard. 

Whatever the case may be, you’re better off taking care of it sooner rather than later because the potential problems you’ll face down the road can be a huge investment if nothing is done.

For any of these scenarios and many more, you need a tree company that won’t:

  • Damage your house or property
  • Rush your decision
  • Charge you crazy fees
  • Leave your yard a mess after the work is done

You simply want well-maintained trees again.  That might mean pruning, trimming, or cutting it down. 

​The great thing is that once you have a beautiful landscape at your residence, your property value increases.  We’ve seen it happen over and over through the years. 

​We’re not saying to go list your beautiful home on the market, but if you ever want to, you would absolutely get more money for your home after we’re finished.

At Albany Tree Service, we provide commercial tree services as well.  We frequently clear land on behalf of numerous construction companies to make room for school dorms, apartment buildings, solar panel arrays, and even roads.  Our most recent project was land clearing for SUNY Albany.  They requested to have a few hundred trees removed to make room for a new education building.  We’re happy to partner with any contractor that needs our expertise.

Although it’s taken me years to find them, I truly believe that my team is the best group of tree experts in the area.  If you’ve ever looked at Angie’s List or Home Advisor, you’ve probably seen us.  We’re friendly, fast, and deliver the results you’d expect from a team of perfectionists.

​Being from Albany, New York, our certified arborists are great people to work with.  They’re easy going, attentive to detail, they have the knowledge and skills required to get the job done right, and they’re conveniently located near you.  If there’s something we can do to improve our service, let us know!

Call me, Joe, on my personal cell phone at (518) 221-0773 any time.

​If it’s late at night, or you would rather email us, fill out the quick form below and we’ll get back to you promptly.

Whether you want to use tree felling to beautify your landscape or protect your property and family, we can help.

Tree Trimming & Pruning

When you trim or prune a tree, you’re improving its health by removing dead branches and limbs and allowing new life to spur. With more room to grow and easier access to sunlight, you end up with healthier landscaping that last years longer than if left unattended. Perfectly trimmed trees increases the visual appeal of any property, which also maximizes home resale value.

Cabling & Bracing

Cabling and bracing support weak branches or trunks to keep them from breaking. The cables reduce swaying and movement in major limbs, while braces hold split or cracked sections of a tree together so it can heal itself. This is the best way to save an old tree without removing it. Without support, those weak spots can fail causing damage to your home, vehicles, or people nearby. We’re happy to assess your trees and see if this is needed based on the situation.

Tree Stump Removal

Get rid of ugly tree stumps with our tree stump removal service. Not only are stumps unattractive, but they’re also a safety hazard. We carry special equipment to remove the stump, grind it down, and get rid of the roots. When it’s all done, we’ll clear everything from your yard so your start regrowing grass or plants again. Give us a call any day of the week to assess the property and determine the quickest, most effective path to getting rid of your stumps.

Tree Doctor

Trees get sick just like people do. They fall ill to all kinds of diseases brought on from airborne fungal spores and bacteria, invasive plants, insects and pests, poor soil quality, and even physical damage from cutting or trimming too closely. Various fungi and bacteria then slowly start to kill the tree, drastically shortening its lifespan and structural stability. Luckily, we are professionals in tree disease management. Our tree doctors may be able to help if you call us.
