A great street tree and tree pit can help grow your property value, minimize liability, reduce energy consumption, improve air quality, reduce storm water run-off and support the emotional well-being of neighborhood residents and customers.
Though tree pits are located on public property, the city is only able to provide limited services for them, often with long wait times. NYC strongly encourages residents and businesses to take charge of protecting their street trees and ensuring safety and cleanliness of their street tree beds.
Because each project is unique, our prices are clearly quoted after a member of our team evaluates the site conditions and your needs. Some of the services we provide are eligible for reimbursement from NYC.
No. Though we encourage you to inform and collaborate with the owners of the property nearest a tree pit, it is not required. Any interested party can hire NYC Tree Pit Services to beautify or maintain any street tree or tree pit.
We install tree guards fabricated from recycled plastic, steel and wood. Choose from more than 30 existing designs or talk to us to create a new look that reflects your personal style. We create unique benches and planters that integrate with your tree and garden.
With few exceptions, property owners are responsible for ensuring safe conditions of their sidewalks and tree pits. Dangers include lifted and uneven paving, stumps, flimsy fencing and other tripping hazards. Visit this page for your complete obligations.
NYC Parks Tree Time is an initiative that shares our mission of greening New York City. It aims to protect, preserve and enhance New York City's trees in parks, streets and forests. If you are seeking a more tax-effective option, we encourage you to make a donation to the program.
When a public tree must be removed to make way for development or has been severely damaged, the responsible party may reduce their costs by opting to plant replacement trees instead of paying a penalty. Let us show you how restitution planting can be a win for your business and the surrounding community.
