What is a tree emergency?

A tree emergency occurs when a tree poses an immediate threat to people, property, or infrastructure and needs urgent attention.

Who pays for tree removal after a storm?

In most cases, homeowner’s insurance will cover tree removal if the tree causes damage. However, if there’s no damage, you’ll likely have to pay for the removal yourself .

Who is responsible for fallen tree removal?

If a tree falls, the property owner where the tree lands is usually responsible for its removal. There can be exceptions, so it’s important to check local laws and policies.

What to do with a tree that was damaged in a storm?

If the damage is minor, pruning broken branches, removing loose limbs, and ensuring proper watering and mulching can help. But if the damage is severe, consult a professional tree service for the best course of action.

Will insurance pay for Storm Damaged tree removal?

Home insurance usually covers the removal of storm-damaged trees if they fall on your home or other structures or block access. However, this can vary by policy, so it’s best to confirm with your insurer.

How do you save an injured tree?

The best approach after a storm is to consult a tree professional. Common recovery practices include pruning, repairing bark, and giving the tree proper care like watering, mulching, and fertilizing.

Introduction

Emergency Tree Services

What is a Tree Removal Service?

Tree removal is more than just chopping down a tree. It’s a careful, precise extraction designed to protect your property, people, and surrounding vegetation. Our team uses Visual Tree Assessment (VTA) to identify structural weaknesses and determine the safest rigging points for high-risk removals.

Whether it’s a storm-damaged Eastern White Pine, a leaning Silver Maple, or a decaying White Ash, our certified arborists follow ANSI Z133 safety standards to ensure safe, efficient, and compliant removals.

Why Do You Need Tree Removal?

While trees provide shade and beauty, they can become serious hazards if neglected:

Dead or dying trees can collapse without warning.
Diseased trees may spread pests like Emerald Ash Borer or pathogens such as Oak Wilt.
Storm damage can leave limbs or trunks dangerously unstable.

Professional assessment ensures only trees that truly require removal are cut, while salvageable trees receive proper care. Our experts follow Albany municipal codes, whether you’re in Loudonville, Colonie, or Downtown Albany, so your property remains safe and compliant.

Pro Tip: Trees in the public right-of-way (ROW) or shared boundary trees often require permits. Working with certified arborists ensures both safety and legality.
