Our Approach
Substaining Urban Greenspaces
Since our founding in 2010, we’ve focused on sustainable and ecological methods to care for trees, gardens, and green spaces throughout New York City.
Deep Expertise
Our firm consists of schools arborists and gardeners who have received training for years in our field and continue to maintain education and certification. We believe a working knowledge of urban trees, shrubs and landscapes is essential to properly treating the unique problems they face.
Holistic & Organic-First
We strive to respect the symbiosis between people and nature. With a holistic and organic-first approach, we save chemical applications as last resort, explore alternatives to removals when possible, and consider the long-term health of the sites we serve.
Sharing What We Know
Our clients are the heart of our business. From the small backyard gardener to the city park manager, we aim to create an open exchange of knowledge to help you achieve your goals.

Each job is planned and managed by an ISA certified arborist…
