Owens Bros Tree Service Ltd

Tree Service, Snow Removal

About us

Family owned & operated. Started by the original Owens brothers of Robert, Peter and Dennis in 1959, when they were each only 19 & 21 years old, the Owens Bros. NYC Tree Company had humble beginnings with its’ only assets being a skilled crew of brothers with modest equipment and a true love of their craft. For many years, they worked with the NYC Department of Parks & Recreation as business-to-business contractors and then gradually over time, evolved into a more customer-oriented tree company serving the people of the community. They had discovered that there was a true need and demand for their skills and services for the unique challenges of tree pruning, tree trimming and tree removal in the Bronx and New York City area by the people, families and businesses that live here. They realized that their level of service was hard to find for dealing with the challenges of the city landscape. Since then, what the original Owens brothers started has become a strong force in the tree services industry in NYC, Bronx, Pelham, Riverdale, Mt. Vernon, New Rochelle, Yonkers, Manhattan and the Lower Westchester area. As experts in their field and now using the finest tree service equipment and technology, the Owens Bros. continue to strengthen their ability and commitment to giving the highest quality services to every customer and every job. Contact by phone is preferable.

Cutting trees at 7 am on a Sunday. Besides it being illegal, its discourteous. Tree debris all over the neighborhood vehicles. Blocking driveway, Driving the wrong way on a one-way street. Company could not give a d*** about neighbors or the neighborhood. Messy work in both front, back, and neighbor's yards. I called the office an no answer on a Sunday morning. They were probably all SLEEPING.
Description of Work: I needed them to move. Clean and stop the noise.

Owens Tree Service are a TOP notch team. I was in need of some work which involved a fairly large tree that needed to be trimmed, I met with several companies in the Bronx and Owens was by far the most professional and knowledgeable. They explained the process clearly and were very competitive with their price. They showed up on time, completed the job and removed all debris from my property. Overall I was very impressed and would highly recommend them to anyone that is in need of their services, You will not be disappointed. Anthony Throggs Neck, N.Y.

The service was great. The job was completed in 90 minutes from start to finish. The crew was professional and spent time to clean up. They even went the extra mile to trim a few additional items in the yard. Best decision I made was hiring this company.

Steve Owen looked at the job and gave a quote to do the job the following day. His truck and crew arrived first thing the next morning. They had the job completed in an hour and cleaned up all the debris. The work was very quick and very thorough. I would call him first next time.

Dennis, is the owner, and he had a great personality. I really appreciated how quick they were able to provide the services; I called them one day and then they were out the next at like 6:30am.Him and his crew did a great job. They were able to tackle the job quickly. They had all the right equipment and it was actually cool to watch the process. I was nervous about the tree hitting the house, since it was so close, but they were very careful about that.
Description of Work: I had him cut down an old oak tree about a year ago.

They performed a superb job! They arrived on time and were finished in the time frame that Mr. Dennis stated. The trees were taken down professionally. There was no damage to anything! They were very professional and cleaned up everything afterwards. There was no mess and nothing that I had to clean up afterwards. It was like the trees were never there! Thank you so much Dennis!!
Description of Work: I needed several trees removed from my backyard. I contacted Owens Bros. because of the reviews I read. I made an appointment and Mr. Dennis arrived on time and gave me an estimate of the work to be done. I decided to hire them.

During one of the extreme July 2012 thunderstorms, our beloved 90 foot 100 year old oak tree was stuck by lightning in the late afternoon. I immediately made a call to the emergency number for the Owen Brothers Tree Service and within the hour (still during the storm) Dennis (the president) came to my home to assess the situation. Unfortunately due to safety issues the tree had to be removed. Dennis said that a full crew would arrive early the next morning. At 6:45am they arrived. I live on a very narrow street and was amazed that they could fit and maneuver their boom truck and assorted vehicles up the block and in my driveway. As the canopy of the tree covered both my house and my neighbors in a very confined space, I knew that this was a difficult task. The expertise and professionalism during this process was impressive. Dennis explained everything that was going to occur which brought peace of mind and reassurance during a very stressful situation. The job was completed in several hours without any damage to my home, property, or adjoining houses. The cleanup was spotless. I have used other tree services in the past for maintaining our trees, but was completely satisified by the Owen Brothers for this difficult removal. I would highly recommend Owen Brothers Tree Service without any hesistation. You get what you pay for and my thanks to Dennis and Stephen for a terrific job. It was a pleasure to do business with them.

I was pleased with the services of Owens Brothers; they were competent, knowing exactly what to do and did so efficiently and cost effectively. They were also courteous from the initial phone call to the final clean up.
Description of Work: Owens Brothers removed a medium size tree in the front of the house, since the roots damaged the main water pipes to the street. They also removed portions of a rather large tree in the back of the house, by removing 2-3 of the major branches which had become so huge, they were endangering the garage in the rear. Owens Brothers were prompt, thorough and removed all branches in an efficient manner and left the area they worked on "super"clean. I will use them again soon.
