HIGH LINE Consulting Arborist

After searching for a skillful Arborist for a while, thankfully I found HLine Consulting Arborist; the only one I really felt comfortable to hire because of the knowledge and experience. Michael made it possible for us to win a Law suit that involved several damaged trees. Iam very grateful.

Michael Ruggierio took charge of revealing the hidden beauty of our overgrown property in the estate section Riverdale in the Bronx. His focus was on preservation rather than removal and replanting. With his keen eye and hands-on approach, he quickly opened sightlines to dramatically increase the sense of spaciousness. The striking geology that lay buried in undergrowth was once again featured. The original plantings of the estate were also once more highlighted. The forty-seven trees on the property were treated with care and attention. Our family gained an education and greater appreciation from Michael for the natural beauty that we are fortunate enough to now properly care for.

Michael Victor Ruggiero, is a highly trained and creative landscape architect who knows trees and plants better than anyone! His knowledge of indigenous and sustainable plant materials, and keen eye for composition, transformed my property beyond my wildest dreams! As I live outside the city, Michael suggested I go into town to see some of his projects; I was excited to see that the skills he exhibited on my project were fully realized, resulting in a gorgeous urban setting. So, for an organized natural look, as on the High Line, or a stunning ordered arrangement, I highly recommend Michael Ruggiero Michael Stromar Michael Francis Stromar Designs interiors, furniture, and accesories

NY COURTYARD REDESIGN I know MVR's High Line Arborist work mainly from the surroundings of St. Peter's Church, Chelsea, which houses my Chelsea Community Church congregation. In 2015 he so transformed the inner courtyard garden and entryway plantings that the experience of going there was definitely enhanced spiritually. It's a beautiful church now more beautiful, to enter and then proceed from, into the little gem of a garden space, cleared of its clutter to highlight features I'd never noticed before in many years of attending. Now you know you're in a spot where worshippers have been for more than a century past. A touch of nature was always nice there; now there's a new experience of deep peace, drawn from the order and the lovely new plants and gently sculpted trees. It reminds me of when I moved my home-based marketing consulting business into my first co-op on W. 23rd St., and had an architect redo it to meet my dual needs for working space within a real home with an exposed-brick wall and a fireplace. You could breathe there. You can breathe deeply now in St. Peter's garden space and entry/exit.

As someone who has worked professionally with Michael Ruggiero - as well as viewing his private work, it's clear that he is an exceptional landscape architect who has a broad and deep level of experience in placemaking, site planning and design, and plant knowledge - which is second to none. His work harmonizes with its surroundings and seeks to accent the assets of its site and is performed with a clear focus on maintenance and sustainability. He has designed important public spaces in NYC and the region as well as contributing his unique and painterly vision to the articulation of private gardens and estate landscaping. His personal dedication and attention to detail is second to none when it comes to completing his designs. I highly Recommend Mr. Ruggiero.
