Emergency Tree Service
A tree on the house or across the driveway does not wait for business hours. We answer the phone 24 hours a day, every day, including nights and Sundays.
Call first, before anything else
If a tree is down and anyone is hurt, call 911. If a power line is down or the tree is touching one, call the power company and 911 before you call us. We cannot work on a tree touching a live line until the power company clears it. Once the lines are safe, we take the tree down and haul the wood away.
What we do when we get there
We look at what the tree is resting on and how it is holding, then take it apart in sections from the top down so nothing shifts onto the house, the car or the fence. Storm-damaged trees are under stress, and cutting one in the wrong order is how the rest of it comes down at once.
The wood goes with us
Hauling away all the brush and logs is part of the price, not an add-on. When we pull out, the driveway is clear and the yard is raked.
Trees that are still standing but not safe
Not every emergency has already fallen. A split trunk, a hanging limb over the roof or a tree leaning after a storm is the call to make before the next weather. Tell us what you are seeing and we will come look.
Homes and businesses
A tree across a business entrance or parking lot shuts the business down as surely as one on a house. We take emergency calls for homes and businesses alike.
What's included
- Someone on the phone 24 hours a day, every day
- Trees taken down in sections, top down, around what they have fallen on
- Hanging and broken limbs taken off
- All brush and logs hauled away, included
- Driveways and walkways cleared
- Stump grinding or full stump removal, if you want it
We cannot work on a tree touching a power line. Call the power company and 911 first, then us.

Storms that bring Morris County trees down
Wet ground and wind
The worst nights here are not always the windiest. A long soaking rain loosens the root plate, and then a moderate gust is enough to lay a healthy-looking tree over. That is why so many calls come the morning after a storm rather than during it.
Dead ash
The emerald ash borer has killed ash trees across New Jersey, and a dead ash is brittle and unpredictable. They come down in pieces, often without much wind, and they are among the most common storm calls we get.
After the power company leaves
Utility crews clear the line and move on to the next one. The rest of the tree, and everything it fell across, is still on your property. That is usually where we start.
How it works
A simple process
Call us
Any hour. Tell us what fell and what it landed on.
Make the area safe
Stay away from any wire. If a line is involved, call the power company and 911 first.
We look and price it
We tell you what the job takes and what it costs before we start cutting.
We clear it
The tree comes down in sections, and the brush and logs leave with us.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
- Do you really answer the phone at night?
- Yes. We are available 24 hours a day, every day, including nights and Sundays.
- A tree fell on the power line. Can you come now?
- Not until the power company has cleared the line. A tree touching a live wire is their job first, and it is not safe for anyone else to touch. Call them and 911, and call us as soon as the line is clear.
- Do I pay extra for a night or weekend call?
- Tell us what happened and we will give you the price before any work starts. You will never find out the cost afterward.
- Will you take the wood away?
- Yes. Hauling all the brush and logs is included in the price.
- Can you remove the stump after an emergency removal?
- Yes. Once the tree is down and the area is safe, we can grind the stump or remove it fully if you want it gone.
- The tree is split but still standing. Is that an emergency?
- It can be. A split trunk or a limb hanging over the roof can let go in the next storm. Call and tell us what you see, and we will come look.
- Do you handle storm damage at businesses?
- Yes. We clear fallen trees from business entrances, parking lots and buildings, as well as homes.
