Our NY State Certified Arborists provide comprehensive tree care including pruning, removal, stump grinding, and emergency services. We prioritize safety and preservation, using ANSI A300 standards to enhance tree health while mitigating risks. Clients benefit from tailored maintenance plans that ensure long-term landscape vitality.
Landscape Design
We create sustainable landscapes blending hardscape and softscape elements for low-maintenance or elaborate gardens. Our designs consider proportion, color, and ecological impact, incorporating patios, walkways, and water features. Clients receive personalized blueprints that enhance property functionality and aesthetic appeal.
Plant Healthcare
Our customized healthcare programs address pest infestations, diseases, and nutrient deficiencies. Using targeted treatments like horticultural oils and root fertilizers, we protect ornamental plants while minimizing environmental impact. Regular inspections ensure timely interventions that maintain vibrant, resilient landscapes.
Rain Gardens
We construct rain gardens that reduce stormwater runoff by 30% while creating habitats for pollinators. These native plant installations filter pollutants from roofs and pavement, preventing flooding while adding ecological beauty to properties through strategically designed drainage solutions.
Ponds & Water Features
Our team crafts custom ponds and water features using natural stone and aquatic plants to create serene outdoor retreats. The designs integrate seamlessly with existing landscapes, offering both aesthetic value and environmental benefits like habitat creation and temperature regulation.

Report
I hired North Island Nursery Tree and Landscaping (aka North Shore Tree and Landscaping according to the BBB) to trim my trees. I discussed at length with Jim Dublar there just what we wanted and emphatically did not want done. The crew arrived, without benefit of Jims supervision, and promptly violated our written and oral instructions. When we complained to Jim that our trees had been mutilated and for some reason our instructions ignored, he said mistakes happen, we did our best. He refused to replace the damaged trees and we heard no further from him.
