Founded by Ithaca native Morgan Thompson, Thompson Tree & Crane has delivered precision, safety, and care across Tompkins County for over 25 years—serving both trees and the people who live among them.

Morgan, a machinist by trade, has quietly built a global reputation for designing industry-shaping, high-performance tools arborists rely on every day. He outfits his crew with the systems and specialized equipment to work safely in the most complex conditions.

We’re trained, certified, fully insured, and equipped to handle everything from complex removals to long-term tree care—with safety at the center of it all. That includes technical rigging, crane-assisted removals, stump grinding, and structural pruning in tight or challenging conditions.

We also offer care that goes deeper—soil testing, deep root feeding, soil health and restoration, spongy moth and emerald ash borer treatment, and guidance on tree planting and structural support.

We believe in good gear, good people, and a high standard of care in every job we take on.

Reach out if we can help.
