Experience You Can See in Every Tree
Our team brings ISA Certified Arborists to homeowners across western Ulster County, from the historic stone-house properties along Old Main Street to the newer homes just west of Kingston. Many of these lots hold mature shade trees and old ornamentals that deserve real, professional care.
For more than 30 years, Hill Treekeepers has provided professional tree care throughout the Hudson Valley. As arborists first, we look for ways to keep your trees healthy before ever recommending removal. When you call, you reach a real office and a team of Certified Arborists who answer the phone and show up when we say we will. That’s dependable service you can count on season after season.
Tree Services We Offer in Hurley
We offer a wide range of services to match whatever your trees need, whether that's a season of proactive care or help with a tree that's become a hazard:
Arborist Services & Consultations
Our Certified Arborists inspect your trees, catch problems early, and handle hazard assessments, pre-construction inspections, root inspections, and cabling or bracing for weak branches.
Pruning & Trimming
Thoughtful ornamental and structural pruning keeps trees and shrubs — like Japanese maple, boxwood, hemlock, and more — stronger, healthier, and more attractive over time.
Orchard Care
From a few backyard fruit trees to a full orchard, we handle seasonal spraying, diagnosis and treatment, and pruning to keep your trees productive.
Insect Pest & Disease Treatment
We pinpoint what's harming your trees, from spotted lanternfly and hemlock woolly adelgid to apple scab and fire blight, then treat it with the least-toxic option that works, whether that's a targeted spray or a trunk injection applied at the right point in the season.
Tree Removal
When a tree is truly dangerous or beyond saving, we remove it safely and cleanly — including difficult removals, crane-assisted work, storm cleanup, and 24/7 emergency service.
Stump Grinding
We grind stumps below grade so you can reclaim that space for planting, lawn, or landscaping.

What Hurley Homeowners Should Know About Their Trees
A few local realities shape how we care for trees in this corner of the Hudson Valley:
- Mature, Heritage-Property Trees: Many homes here feature large, older shade trees and ornamentals. As they age, they're more prone to decay, storm damage, and structural weakness, so regular inspection matters.
- Esopus Creek Floodplain Soils: Properties along the creek and its low-lying flats often have wet or compacted soil that can quietly stress tree roots and open the door to disease.
- Spotted Lanternfly: This invasive pest is spreading through Ulster County and feeds on a wide range of trees. Proactive Plant Health Care — monitoring plus well-timed treatment — is one of the best defenses.
We can't make any tree 100% risk-free, but a steady, preventive approach goes a long way toward reducing the likelihood of falling branches, tree failure, and property damage.
Why Local Homeowners Choose Hill Treekeepers
When you hire us, you get more than a crew with equipment. You get a team of tree care professionals who genuinely care about the outcome. Here's what you can count on when you work with us:
ISA Certified Arborists on Staff
Every one of our arborists has passed the International Society of Arboriculture's certification exam, so they know how to read a tree's health and apply the right care. That means you get advice grounded in real arboriculture, not guesswork from someone with a truck and a chainsaw.
A Preservation-First Approach
A mature tree can take decades to replace, so we treat removal as a last resort. When a problem shows up, our first question is always whether we can save the tree, not how quickly we can take it down.
Honest Recommendations
We'll tell you plainly what your trees need and what can safely wait. And the price we quote is the price you pay, with no surprise add-ons once the work is underway.
Proper Technique, Always
Shortcuts, like topping, may look fast, but they leave trees weaker and far more prone to decay and failure. Every cut we make follows proper pruning standards that protect your tree's long-term health and structure.
Our Unconditional GuaranTREE
If you’re not satisfied with our work, let us know. We’ll address the issue and make it right — because we stand behind the quality of every job we complete.
Fully Licensed & Insured
You're fully covered from the moment we step onto your property, with all the licenses New York requires and a Commercial Pesticide Business Registration (Reg #18223). In more than 30 years of tree work, we've never had a property damage claim.
Easy to Reach & Easy to Work With
You'll always reach a real person who can answer your questions and get you on the schedule. No endless voicemails and no crews that fail to show.
