NYC Tree Services for Removal, Pruning, Stumps and Permits

Dragonetti Tree Removal helps homeowners, property managers and commercial sites handle tree work safely across Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, the Bronx and Staten Island. This services page brings together the main jobs our crew handles every week: full tree removal, tree pruning and trimming, stump grinding, permit support, emergency response, cabling and bracing, lot clearing, hedge work and wood chip cleanup.

Every property is different. A backyard tree in Bay Ridge, a tight Queens driveway, a leaning street-side tree in Manhattan and a storm-damaged trunk in the Bronx all need different access planning, equipment and cleanup. Our team reviews the tree condition, nearby structures, utilities, access points and whether a permit or city coordination may be required before recommending the safest next step.

If you are not sure which service you need, start with the closest match below or request a quote. We can confirm whether the job is routine pruning, risk assessment, stump removal, emergency tree removal or a larger removal that needs additional planning.

  • Tree removal: safe removal for dead, leaning, storm-damaged or unwanted trees.
  • Tree pruning and trimming: canopy cleanup, clearance pruning and structural trimming.
  • Stump removal: grinding and cleanup after a tree has been cut down.
  • Permits and risk assessment: help understanding when approvals or a closer inspection may be needed.

If the tree is dead, leaning, cracked, uprooted or too close to a structure, start with tree removal or tree risk assessment. If the tree is healthy but overgrown, start with pruning. If the tree is already down and only the base remains, request stump removal.

Some tree work can require city review, especially when a street tree, sidewalk, public property or access issue is involved. Dragonetti can help identify whether permit support is needed and point you to the right next step before work begins.

Emergency timing depends on the hazard, access, weather and crew availability. If a tree has fallen on a structure, blocks access or creates an immediate safety risk, call as soon as possible so the situation can be reviewed quickly.

Yes, stump grinding can often be scheduled with tree removal or as a separate service after the tree is gone. The best option depends on the stump size, access and whether nearby roots, pavement or utilities need to be protected.

Full-Service Tree Care Across NYC

Every job starts with a straightforward conversation and a free on-site look at the tree. Here is what Dragonetti Tree Removal handles, and where to go for the details on each service.

Tree Removal

Full removal of dead, hazardous, storm-damaged, or unwanted trees anywhere in Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, Manhattan, and Staten Island. We handle everything from a single backyard tree to large, tight-access commercial removals. See tree removal services →

Emergency Tree Removal

24/7 response for trees that have fallen, split, or are hanging over a structure, driveway, or power line. Our crews typically respond within the hour once we understand the situation. See emergency tree removal →

Stump Removal & Grinding

Stump grinding chips the stump below grade for a fast, affordable fix; full stump removal pulls the stump and roots out entirely when you are regrading or planting in the same spot. See stump removal & grinding →

Tree Pruning & Trimming

ISA-guided pruning for safety, health, structure, and appearance, from routine crown thinning to clearance cuts near power lines. Regular pruning is often what keeps a tree from ever needing removal. See tree pruning & trimming →

Tree Permit Services

Street trees and trees on landmarked or historic properties usually need a NYC Parks permit before any work begins. We prepare and file the paperwork and tell you plainly whether your tree needs one. See tree permit services →

Tree Risk Assessment

A structured look at a leaning, cracked, or declining tree before you decide whether it needs cabling, pruning, or removal. Useful for insurance documentation and neighbor disputes as well as your own peace of mind. See tree risk assessment →
