FAQ
What should I do if a tree is touching power lines or has brought them down?
If a tree is making contact with power lines or has brought them down, do not attempt to handle the situation yourself. This is extremely dangerous. Please contact PSE&G Emergency Services immediately to report the hazard. Once the utility company has made the area safe, we can step in to remove the tree and clean up the site.
Are you available 24/7 for emergency tree removal services?
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency tree services to ensure your property and safety are protected at any time of the day or night.
When should I call for emergency tree removal?
Call for emergency tree removal if a tree is leaning dangerously, has fallen on your home, car, or power lines, or if storm-damaged branches are at risk of falling.
How quickly can you respond to an emergency?
Our team strives to respond as quickly as possible, often within a few hours. Response times may vary depending on the severity of the situation and weather conditions.
How much does fallen tree removal cost in New Jersey?
The cost of fallen or hazardous tree removal depends on factors such as the tree’s size, location, and complexity of the removal. Contact us for a free estimate at 908-889-6584 or request a quote online.

Who pays if my neighbor’s tree falls on my yard in New Jersey?
In most cases, if a healthy tree from your neighbor’s property falls during a storm, the damage is considered an “act of God.” That means your own homeowner’s insurance typically covers the repairs to your house, fence, or other structures. If the tree was dead, diseased, or poorly maintained and your neighbor knew it was hazardous, their insurance may be responsible. Every policy is different, so it’s always best to contact your insurance company right away.
Do you work with insurance adjusters after storm damage?
Yes. We regularly provide estimates, photos, and documentation that help homeowners file insurance claims for storm damage cleanup and emergency tree removal. Our goal is to make the process as smooth as possible, so you can focus on getting your property back to normal.
Can you remove a tree from a roof safely, do you use cranes?
Absolutely. If a tree has fallen on your home or other structure, we can coordinate crane-assisted removals to lift and clear it safely. Our experienced crew uses the right equipment and techniques to prevent further damage, and we’re available 24/7 for urgent situations.
