Tree Removal
Safe removal of dead, damaged, and hazardous trees.
24-Hour Emergency Tree Service in Geneseo, NY
Trees on roofs, across driveways, or hung up and unstable. Our listing says open 24 hours, and it means it.
Overview
Storm damage does not keep office hours. A tree resting on a roof at eleven at night is not a next-week problem, and a limb hung up over a driveway can come down on its own at any point.
Call (585) 634-3800 whenever it happens. During a big storm we work through the queue by risk, meaning anything in contact with a structure or a power line goes first, then blocked access, then everything else.
What To Look For
Call immediately if
If any of this sounds like your situation, the site visit costs nothing and you will get a straight answer either way.
- A tree or limb is on your house. Do not go into the affected rooms, and do not try to move anything. Weight distribution after a fall is rarely what it looks like.
- Anything is touching a power line. Call the utility first, then us. Treat every downed line as live.
- A tree is hung up in another. These are the most dangerous jobs we do. Stored tension releases without warning and in unpredictable directions.
- The root plate has lifted. Soil heaving on one side means the tree is already failing, even if it is still standing.
- Your driveway or road access is blocked. Especially worth clearing quickly if anyone at the property needs medical access.
The Process
What to do before we arrive
No surprises, and nothing starts before you have a written price in hand.
-
Get clear of it
Keep everyone well back, including from rooms under the affected area. Distance is free.
-
Photograph it
From a safe position. Your insurer will want the pictures, and it is much harder to document after the tree is gone.
-
Call your insurer
Most homeowner policies cover emergency tree removal when a tree hits a structure. Starting the claim early makes the rest simpler.
-
Leave the chainsaw alone
Storm-damaged wood is under tension in ways that are not visible. This is the single most common way people get badly hurt after a storm.
We are local, which in an emergency is the thing that actually matters. Crews driving up from out of the area after a regional storm can take days.
Other Services
The rest of what we do
Often the same visit covers more than one of these.
Tree Trimming & Pruning
Structural pruning that keeps canopies healthy and clear.
Stump Grinding & Removal
Grinding stumps below grade so the lawn goes back to normal.
Pricing
How much does tree service cost in Geneseo, NY?
No surprises and no hidden extras. These are realistic ranges for Livingston County, based on the jobs we actually run.
These are ballpark ranges, not quotes. Height, access, what sits underneath the tree and its condition all move the number. The only way to get a real figure is a free on-site look, which we do at no charge.

$150 – $1,200
Small Tree Removal

What moves the price
- Tree size and height The single biggest factor. Taller trees need more equipment, more time and more crew.
- Proximity to structures Anything over a roof, a fence or a service drop has to come down in sections rather than be felled.
- Equipment access A gate under three feet wide changes which machine we can get in, and sometimes means hand work.
- Tree health and condition Dead, diseased or storm-damaged wood is unpredictable and slower to work safely.
- Permits Rare on private property, but trees in a village right of way or covered by an HOA can need clearance first.
- Stump treatment Grinding at the same visit is nearly always cheaper than bringing the machine back separately.
Why we will not quote over the phone
No calculator can see your tree, your ground or what is underneath it. Anyone who gives you a firm price without looking is either guessing or planning to revise it once the saws are out. We come and look first, same day or next day where we can, and the visit costs nothing.

Local Guide
Called them, they came out, gave it a look, gave a fair price, did great work. They showed up just when they said they would (and it was HOT that day). I had a stump that I forgot to mention to them, so on the spot they said they would take care of it, and another stump which was close by. They didn't charge me for the stumps. Good equipment, knew what they were doing, and I will for sure call them again.
