Review Overview

All Around Landscape & Tree Service is best suited for Fairport-area property owners facing serious or complex tree work where safety, precision, and cleanup matter as much as the arborist’s skill. This company excels on mid-to-large lots with trees that threaten structures, power lines, or tight spaces, where a confident crew with crane or bucket-truck access can execute without collateral damage. They fit homeowners who want a hands-on, arborist-led approach, not a minimal-cut, low-budget job. Urgency is a strong suit, emergency responses, even on short notice, are well within their wheelhouse, as evidenced by quick arrival and staged work when a tree suddenly endangers a home.

Safety standards sit at the core of All Around’s value proposition. Clark Morehouse, the owner, operates as a certified arborist who actively oversees jobs on site, ensuring that work proceeds with minimal risk to people and property. The reviews repeatedly call out safety-minded workmanship: careful navigation of restricted driveways with large equipment, use of safety shields to protect houses and heat pumps, and meticulous control of debris to prevent damage to lawns and plantings. This is not a contractor that treats cleanup as an afterthought. Instances abound of large, hazardous removals, such as an overhanging oak or a centuries-old sugar maple, being brought down with precision, followed by immediate stump grinding and thorough area restoration. The crew’s ability to coordinate with utilities for line work, as needed, further underscores the safety-first philosophy that permeates every job.

Cleanup standards deserve emphasis because tree work creates more risk and mess than almost any other home service. Across dozens of reviews, the pattern is consistent: no turf or landscaping left trampled, no stray branches, and a yard that looks healthier after completion than before. The team’s practice of hauling away debris, stacking logs for the customer, blasting the area with a blower, and re-leveled ground after stump removal demonstrates a commitment to leaving a property pristine. Even in challenging conditions, snow, rain, or limited access, the job sites emerge clean, with edges and plantings respected and intact. That level of finish is not incidental; it reflects a disciplined approach to project staging, waste management, and neighborly courtesy that reduces post-work friction.

Value and reliability are credible strengths. The company tends to deliver competitive pricing and clear, practical estimates, with many clients affirming that the quoted price was fair or even the best among several bids. The owner’s direct involvement on the estimate and during the job adds a layer of accountability that resonates with property owners who want a straightforward, transparent process. Repeat business is common, signaling a track record of trustworthy performance. Yet, no company is immune to the occasional hiccup; one older review cites delays in scheduling and communication that interrupt a project timeline. That outlier appears to be a sunlit window into potential gaps in responsiveness rather than a systemic flaw, and it is offset by a broad consensus that the team remains dependable, professional, and consistent in delivering what was promised.

The practical arborist lens reveals why this team stands out for the right job. They handle everything from routine pruning and cabling to high-stakes removals where a tree overhangs a shed, a house, or critical equipment. The owner’s willingness to discuss disease management, long-term health plans, and treatment versus removal reflects a mature understanding of tree physiology and risk. Several clients note insightful guidance on species health, structural integrity, and rot or fungus, knowledge that helps homeowners avoid unnecessary removals or missteps. The crew’s capability to work in constrained layouts, driving around fragile landscapes, rigging branches from above, or using a crane when required, means higher-risk projects become surmountable with controlled exposure to risk for both people and property.

In the end, the clear recommendation centers on a target client profile and a practical decision framework. All Around Landscape & Tree Service is the go-to choice for Fairport homeowners with significant, safety-critical, or access-challenged tree work. This includes removals near homes, stairs, or utilities; large-beamed pruning that preserves tree health while controlling size and risk; and jobs requiring careful site restoration. For those who prize a demonstrably arborist-led process, transparent pricing, and a clean, neighbor-friendly finish, this company delivers. Urgency is handled deftly, but for property owners who value impeccably documented quotes and explicit arrival windows, it is prudent to secure confirmation in writing and to verify whether the lead arborist will be on site for the critical milestones.

Prospective clients should go in with a plan: request an on-site arborist assessment, ask for a written scope that includes clamping or bracing if a tree is near failure, confirm line or utility coordination if needed, and insist on a comprehensive cleanup protocol. In exchange, All Around provides a practical, knowledgeable partnership that consistently turns high-stakes tree work into a predictable, tidy, and safe outcome. The result is a yard that looks better than before, with the tree health addressed, the work performed by seasoned hands, and the property left in a condition that invites immediate peace of mind rather than second-guessing.

Equipment and Capabilities

Crane

Crane-assisted removal for trees that can't be conventionally climbed or sectioned - ideal for extremely large, hazardous, or tightly situated trees.

Crane-enabled limb control and high-canopy removals are a defining capability, allowing careful lowering of large, heavy branches and tall trunks with precision. Customers note they often pair a bucket truck for tight, narrow driveways with a crane for the big jobs, such as removing very tall or large-diameter trees while protecting nearby structures. They coordinate with local utilities, like RG&E, to manage power lines ahead of time to ensure safe operations near lines. Even historic trees and large oaks are removed with careful staging, safety shields, and thorough cleanup to minimize damage to lawns and plantings. Across Fairport and the surrounding Monroe County area, clients repeatedly praise the team's professionalism, safety focus, and reliable crane-assisted service.

Bucket Truck

Uses an aerial bucket truck for safe, efficient access to tall or hard-to-reach branches. Faster and more stable than climbing for many jobs.

The bucket truck is a core capability that enables safe, elevated work in tight spaces. A customer highlighted how the crew skillfully navigated a very narrow driveway using a large bucket truck, arriving promptly and leaving the area clean. In many projects, the bucket truck supports precise removals and canopy work on tall or large trees, with careful coordination to protect the property and surroundings. There are also instances where access is too restricted even for a lift or bucket truck, yet the arborist and team still complete the job safely, showing adaptability and wide-ranging expertise.

Stump Grinder

Equipped with stump grinding machinery to eliminate leftover stumps after removal. Leaves your yard clean and ready for replanting or landscaping.

Stump grinding is a prominent part of their service, often tackled after tree removal with a remote-controlled grinder. They frequently return the next day to tackle the stump, showing readiness and efficiency for multi-step jobs. They’ve handled large-diameter stumps, including six-foot-scale specimens from very old trees, with careful attention to the surrounding landscape. Cleanup is thorough—debris is removed and the area is left neat and free of worksite aftercare. They also coordinate safety and utilities when needed, arranging ahead of time with power utilities to ensure the job can proceed safely and smoothly.

Tree Services

Dead Tree Experience

Specialists in the safe removal of dead, dying, or diseased trees. Dead trees are unpredictable - experience and caution matter.

In Fairport and the surrounding Monroe County area, they handle dead or dangerous trees with a strong emphasis on safety and protecting the property around them. Customers note quick, responsive service—often with the owner personally on site or answering after hours and providing a timely quote. They can access tight spaces using a bucket truck or crane and have coordinated with utility providers to safely remove power lines before removing a dead or hazardous tree. The work includes thorough cleanup, leaving yards spotless after the job, even when large trees or complex access are involved. With a certified arborist leading the team, they assess whether trimming, cabling, or removal best preserves tree health while removing the deadwood, including very large or historic trees, and they typically follow up with stump grinding and debris removal.

Large Trees

Experienced handling oversized trees - tall, wide, or heavily branched. Removing or trimming a large tree requires specialized skill and equipment, and these pros have both.

Handling large-tree work is a core strength, with crews routinely tackling towering, century-old specimens and wide-diameter trees while protecting homes and landscapes. They’ve removed a very tall, 150-year-old sugar maple with minimal damage to the lawn and nearby structures, and they've cleared away a massive locust encroaching on a house and gutters, always prioritizing safety and cleanups. Their approach often uses cranes or large bucket trucks to reach treetops or negotiate tight spaces, including navigating a narrow driveway with a bucket truck. They coordinate with utilities when needed, such as arranging power-line work in advance, and can access hard-to-reach trees even when trucks can’t reach, with climbers hauling branches safely away and a stump grinder taking down large stumps (like a six-foot diameter stump). An on-site certified arborist provides health-focused guidance, and clients consistently report professional, responsive service and meticulous cleanup after large-tree removals or trims.

Stump Removal

Full stump extraction, root and all - not just grinding. Ideal when you need the area completely cleared for construction, landscaping, or replanting.

Stump removal in Fairport and the surrounding Monroe County area is handled with powerful, precise grinding that can tackle very large stumps, including examples up to six feet in diameter. A remote-controlled stump grinder is used, and crews consistently grind the stump and haul away all debris, leaving the yard clean and level. They have demonstrated the ability to remove large diameters and re-level surrounding areas, often returning the next day to complete the stump work when needed. Clients also note responsive scheduling, careful work around landscaping, and thorough cleanup, with pricing described as fair and competitive.

Works Near Structures

Skilled at working in tight spaces where trees sit close to homes, fences, garages, or power lines. Precision removal without damage to surrounding structures.

Near-structure work is a standout capability, with crews able to operate safely next to houses, barns, and other structures using crane and bucket truck access, even when yard space is tight. In one tight scenario, they navigated a narrow driveway with a large bucket truck to remove a tree without causing damage to a barn. They coordinate with utilities to de-energize power lines ahead of removals when required, ensuring the job proceeds safely around electrical infrastructure. For tall or large trees encroaching on homes or gutters, they deploy a crane and precise rigging, and they use safety shields to protect nearby structures like houses and heat pumps. Even when access is limited by property lines or rough terrain, they climb, rig, and remove without harming surrounding plantings and they leave the site thoroughly cleaned with no debris left behind.

Tree Assessments

Offers professional evaluation of your trees' health, structure, and risk level. Useful before buying property, after storm damage, or when a tree just doesn't look right.

The tree assessment capability is grounded in on-site evaluations led by a certified arborist who explains the tree’s health, risk factors, and options to preserve or remove it. Clients consistently report accurate diagnoses of disease, structural concerns, and the right mix of pruning, cabling, or removal to maintain safety and vitality. Assessments prioritize safety around structures, utilities, and access challenges, including narrow driveways and proximity to power lines, with rapid responses for emergencies when needed. The process includes coordinating with utilities as required and selecting appropriate equipment—cranes, bucket trucks, and stump grinders—to minimize property disturbance and ensure thorough cleanup. Estimations are transparent and practical, offering clear long-term care guidance and multiple proposals to suit health, value, and budget, across Fairport, Penfield, Pittsford, Rochester, and throughout Monroe County.

Cabling Bracing

Installs steel cables or braces to support weak branch unions, co-dominant stems, or leaning trunks - extending the life of a tree you don't want to lose.

Cabling and bracing are a core part of their arborist-led tree care, used to stabilize vulnerable limbs and extend the healthy life of large trees when removal isn’t the best option. Clients note that the team, led by Clark Morehouse, a certified arborist, carefully explains the cabling approach and what it will and won’t achieve. There is evidence of long-term structural support through cabling—one case mentions cabling a three-trunk ash tree to prevent splitting for many years. In practice, cabling is integrated with other care—trimming, health assessments, and careful access around structures—delivering safe, precise work with thorough cleanup. Working in Fairport and surrounding Monroe County communities, they emphasize safety and minimize risk to nearby structures and landscapes.

Tree Planting

Not just removal - these companies help you add trees too. Proper planting technique gives new trees the best chance at a long, healthy life.

Planting new trees appears as part of their comprehensive tree care, with a client noting that they pruned several trees, removed an old tree, and planted a new one in the same project. Clark’s status as a certified arborist and his tendency to explain options and address health considerations supports planting decisions that fit the landscape. Customers consistently describe careful, property-conscious work and thorough cleanups, which is crucial when planting alongside removals or other tree work. Overall, this pattern indicates they offer tree planting as a coordinated, professional service within safe, efficient, and responsive arbor care.

Specialty Expertise

Works Near Power Lines

Trained and equipped to work near energized power lines. This specialized work requires specific qualifications - not every company should attempt it.

They routinely handle tree work near power lines by coordinating with the utility company, including arranging RG&E to remove lines ahead of the job to ensure safe, compliant work in Fairport and Monroe County. Crews use a crane and a large bucket truck to access tight driveways and tall or large trees without risking nearby structures or lines. Clark Morehouse, a certified arborist, explains the process and risk considerations on site, helping customers understand what’s being done near electrical infrastructure. They manage high-risk removals in constrained spaces and follow up with stump grinding when needed, with thorough cleanup that minimizes damage to lawn and other plants. Clients consistently note fast responsiveness, safety-minded practices, and careful protection of property during power-line–adjacent work in the Fairport area.

Emergency and Storm

24 Hour Emergency Response

Available around the clock for dangerous situations - a tree on your roof, a limb blocking your driveway, or a trunk threatening to fall. Day or night.

Emergency work is handled with rapid after-hours responsiveness and on-site presence. The owner often answers urgent calls personally and can come out right away, even when weather is poor or it’s after normal business hours. In urgent situations, they mobilize quickly, sometimes arriving within 45 minutes of contact and coordinating with the crew to secure the site and begin work without delay. They coordinate with utilities (such as RG&E) to manage power lines ahead of time when needed, enabling safe and efficient tree removals near infrastructure. With equipment like cranes and bucket trucks, they can access tall or awkwardly placed trees while protecting the surrounding structures and landscape. Cleanup is thorough and property-minded, with debris removed and the area left neat and safe after the job.
