Editorial Review

Our Take on Owens Bros. Tree Service

Owens Bros. earns its place on review depth and on how often customers mention honest advice, including a second opinion that kept a tree alive. The site says little about credentials, so ask for insurance papers and the Parks permit on any street tree job.

    Exceptional service from this team of professionals. After being told that my tree is dying and should be cut down by a different company, I sought a second opinion and I am so grateful I did. David’s advice was accurate and I am delighted with my garden now. The tree is beautiful and healthy and the trees that required removing are now gone and a fig tree at the back saved. I am so grateful to have found this company.

    Dennis came by today to see if Owens could help us with a complicated tree transplantation project. After talking with me and looking at the tree, he advised me not to have the tree moved. He was right, of course, and we had all but decided to let the tree go before he came by. But his kindness, patience and expert advice allowed us to give up on what would have been an expensive undertaking with a clear understanding that we had made the right choice. Thank you, Dennis. We look forward to working with you again.

Company Background

About Owens Bros. Tree Service

Owens Bros. Tree Service operates from a City Island Avenue address in the Bronx, a long way from the Manhattan brownstones where several of its reviewers live, and the crews make that trip often. The company's website names more than seventy Manhattan and Bronx neighborhoods it covers, among them Riverdale, Kingsbridge, Pelham Bay, Throgs Neck, the Upper West Side, Harlem, Chelsea and Tribeca.

The service list on the site covers tree removal, trimming and pruning, stump removal, arborist consultations, spotted lanternfly pest control, commercial tree care and winter snow removal for commercial clients. Emergency calls are advertised around the clock, and Google lists the business as open 24 hours every day. The site does not publish a founding year, a licence number or the names of staff, so none are listed here.

What stands out is how reviewers talk about advice. One homeowner was told by another company that a tree was dying and should come down, called Owens Bros. for a second opinion, and credits David with an accurate read that saved the tree. A new owner of a single family house in Manhattan asked Dennis about a wisteria vine wrapped around a fence and a tree and got guidance on the best path rather than a sales pitch. Others describe a massive tree removed from a front yard in under two hours with the debris gone by lunchtime, and overgrown junipers shaped neatly with one bush cut so low that the stump was barely visible.

The numbers back it up. Owens Bros. Tree Service has 4.9 stars from 194 Google reviews, read November 7, 2026, and the most recent reviews are from October 2026. The honest caution is that the website is built around search pages for each neighborhood, so the useful detail comes from the reviews and from the estimate itself.

It suits Bronx and Manhattan homeowners with a mature tree and a real question about whether it can be saved. It suits less well anyone who needs a business that publishes licence numbers and named staff online. Before booking, ask for a written quote that names the work and the cleanup, ask for proof of liability insurance and workers compensation, and if the tree stands on a city sidewalk, ask who is pulling the NYC Parks tree work permit.

Owens Bros. Tree Service FAQs

  • Is Owens Bros. Tree Service licensed and insured?

    Its website describes the company as a licensed tree company but does not publish a licence number, insurance carrier or certificate. New York State has no general tree service licence, so ask Owens Bros. directly for a certificate of insurance showing liability and workers compensation before any crew starts. For a tree on a city sidewalk, also ask who is obtaining the NYC Parks tree work permit.

  • Does Owens Bros. Tree Service offer emergency tree removal in the Bronx and Manhattan?

    Yes, the company advertises 24 hour emergency tree service and Google lists the business as open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, at (718) 885-0914. Its site says it covers the Bronx and Manhattan. For a tree on a house or across a road, call right away and also report downed wires to the utility, since crews cannot work near live lines.

  • Where does Owens Bros. Tree Service work and does it give free estimates?

    Owens Bros. gives free estimates according to its website and works from 528 City Island Avenue in the Bronx. The site lists more than 70 neighborhoods across the Bronx and Manhattan, including Riverdale, Throgs Neck, Harlem and the Upper West Side. It does not state a warranty or financing, so ask for any guarantee in writing with the quote.

  • Is Owens Bros. Tree Service licensed and insured?

    We checked 0 of 1 credentials against the issuing authority. Verified items carry the date we checked; reported items are what the business told us and we could not independently confirm.

  • What areas does Owens Bros. Tree Service serve?

    New York. Coverage is as the business describes it, cross-checked against where its recent documented work is. Confirm your address before scheduling, particularly at the edge of a service area.

  • Does Owens Bros. Tree Service offer emergency service?

    Yes, the company lists emergency availability. Response time depends on demand, and after a storm every company in the market is stretched.

  • What warranty do they offer?

    Warranty terms are not on file. Ask for them in writing before work starts.

  • How was this profile built?

    Credentials come from issuing authorities, ratings from the company's Google Business Profile with the date we read them, and the editorial take from our own review of estimates, warranty documents and public feedback. Anything the business told us is labelled as reported.

  • Can a business pay to improve its profile?

    A business can subscribe to manage its own listing details, and it can buy a labelled sponsored placement. Neither changes a ranking position or the editorial assessment on this page.
