About

All Pro Able Tree & Timber is a family owned and operated tree service which has been serving the Southern Tier, Twin Tiers, and surrounding region for over 50 years.

Owner, founder, and family patriarch Carl Drake Sr. began work in the industry with his father and brothers on the South Side of Elmira, NY.  After serving his country in the United States Air Force, Carl Sr. returned home and started his own full-service tree and logging company which has evolved to the All Pro Able Tree & Timber organization.

Dana Drake, Carl Sr.’s wife, is the matriarch of the family.  She has been answering the phones and setting up appointments with customers for over 40 years. You might also catch her on a job site when All Pro Able Tree & Timber crews need an additional set of hands or on an emergency removal.  Dana has a reputation for being “hands on” at the job site and will outwork most of the men.

Carl Drake Jr. is the prodigal son at All Pro Able Tree & Timber.  After attending environmental science and forest school at Syracuse University, Jr. joined the family business and has been involved with all aspects for the past 18 years. He currently runs the day to day operations.

All Pro Able Tree & Timber initially served primarily the Syracuse, NY area. After the passing of his father, Carl Sr. took over the operations in the Binghamton and Elmira areas previously served by his father and raised his family there.  Today All Pro Able Tree & Timber services communities as far west at Corning, NY, east throughout Delaware County, Syracuse to the north and Northeastern PA.  While based in Binghamton, NY, we remain very active in the Elmira/Horseheads area.

With the wealth of knowledge of over 50 years in the business along with the honesty and the personal service that comes with hiring a family run operation, All Pro Able Tree & Timber takes pride in ensuring the job is done safely, effectively, promptly, and within budget. No job is too large or too small. All Pro Able Tree & Timber has expertise, staff, and equipment to handle any tree or timber situation.

As a full service tree service, All Pro Able Tree & Timber is proud to offer the following services:

Tree removal service is one of the most dangerous types of work in the U.S. today, which is why our years of experience counts.  Our crews are experienced and fully equipped.  We have more specialized equipment and rigging expertise than any other company in the area. We offer you more than stump grinders, chain saws or chippers. We have aerial trucks that can reach tall trees and turf friendly track lifts.  We have large cranes, dozers, dump trucks and more…  Whatever we need to complete your job we will have available for you when we need it.

Contact us today for a free, no obligation estimate for your tree care needs.  We will provide you with a fair, honest assessment and explain the options available to you.

It’s important to note that all customers should be aware of disproportionately low bids.

All Pro Able Tree & Timber and other reputable tree care companies make significant investments in equipment, training, and insurance to protect your property and our employees. The price charged for a job will reflect these and other overhead and operational costs. These costs protect you and allow us to serve you better, while low bids usually reflect the absence of some of these essential costs and could put you at risk. Especially if your selected vendor is not a fully insured and bonded company.

It is our mission at All Pro Able Tree & Timber to provide cutting edge, expert tree care at competitive rates. It is very important to understand that you always pay for what you get, but sometimes you don’t always get what you pay for.

If you have received multiple bids and there are large variances, feel free to contact us to ask questions and make sure that the scope of the work and delivery is consistent. We pride ourselves on the ability to provide the best service possible for reasonable costs.
