After Tropical Storm Isaias hit New York City last Tuesday, the NYC Department of Parks and Recreation received more than 21,000 reports of down trees and limbs across the City. We were happy to help Parks out with cleanup! The next morning, our fantastic landscaping company, A. Bulfamante Landscaping, removed all the tree limbs that had fallen into the street from the Broadway Malls. And, Parks will come to remove what's left of the tree.
