Tree removal, tree trimming, stump grinding and 24/7 emergency tree service for homes and businesses across Rochester NY and Monroe County. Every job starts with a free estimate on your property.
Looking for tree service Rochester NY homeowners can reach at any hour? A One Tree Services is a local crew that handles tree removal, tree trimming, stump grinding, emergency tree removal and land clearing for homes and businesses across Rochester and the rest of Monroe County.
Rochester is hard on trees. Lake effect snow piles weight onto branches, ice storms snap limbs over roofs and driveways, and spring thunderstorms push over trees that looked fine in March. Heavy clay soil does not help a big maple hold its footing once the ground is soaked.
Our crew works from spider lifts, bobcat loaders and high capacity chippers, so we can reach a maple behind a garage and chip the brush on site. The estimate is free, it happens at your property, and you decide what happens next.
From one hazardous tree to a whole overgrown lot, here is what we handle for residential and commercial properties across Monroe County.
Dead, leaning, storm hit or too big for the spot. We take trees down in sections when the yard is tight. See tree removal Rochester NY details.
Crown thinning, deadwood removal and clearance cuts over roofs and driveways. Good tree trimming Rochester NY takes off only what the tree can spare.
We grind stumps below grade and leave wood chips behind, so you can rake the spot level and reseed, lay sod or plant. Learn more about stump grinding Rochester NY jobs.
When a storm drops a tree across a driveway or onto a roof, call any hour. Details on emergency tree service Rochester NY are here.

Your local tree care crew in Rochester, NY.
A One Tree Services works on residential and commercial properties across Monroe County. We run spider lifts, bobcat loaders and high capacity chippers because so much tree work here happens behind houses and next to garages where a big truck cannot go.
The job is simple: take down or cut back what is dangerous, protect what is not, and leave the yard clean, from emergency storm cleanup to routine pruning. Read more about our local tree service and how we work.
We are fully insured, we give a free estimate before any work, and we bring equipment that fits the yard. We will tell you straight whether a tree needs to come out, needs a trim, or can be left alone.

The right machine makes a hard job safer and faster. Here is what pulls up to your house in Rochester, NY.
A tracked aerial lift built for tight backyards. It reaches tall trees and trees close to a house.
Moves heavy logs and loads debris quickly, so the cleanup after a removal does not drag on for days.
A high capacity chipper turns large limbs and brush into wood chips on site, so piles do not sit in your yard.
Grinds stumps below grade so the spot can be raked level, seeded or planted. Read about stump grinding.
Eight stages of a controlled removal, from first look to the last log.
The direction a tree falls is decided before the saw starts. The crew reads the lean and the fall zone, then cuts a face notch to set the direction and a back cut to release the tree. Where a tree cannot fall safely, we take it down in sections with rigging and a spider lift.
Once the tree is down, we limb the branches and buck the trunk into pieces we can move. The International Society of Arboriculture consumer site explains what good tree work looks like. Near a house, professional tree removal is not a job for a rented saw.

Common Questions
Call (585) 888-9232 or use the quote form at the top of this page. We visit your property, look at the tree and what is around it, and explain the work and the price before anything is scheduled. The estimate is free and carries no obligation. You can also request an estimate online.
It depends on the height and trunk size of the tree, its condition, and what is nearby, such as a roof, wires or a fence. Access matters too. Since no two properties match, we give free on site estimates instead of a guess over the phone. Our guide to tree removal cost in Rochester NY explains what moves the price.
Stump grinding shreds the stump and surface roots below grade and leaves wood chips behind. Stump removal pulls the whole stump and root ball out, which clears the spot but disturbs far more soil. Most homeowners who want a flat, plantable spot choose grinding. See stump grinding vs stump removal for the full comparison.
Stay well away from the tree, especially if it is leaning on your house or touching a power line, and call your utility if wires are involved. Take photos for your insurance claim, then call us. We provide 24/7 emergency response across Monroe County, and the National Weather Service in Buffalo covers Rochester for storm updates. Our storm damage tree removal page explains what happens next.
It depends on how much of the crown and roots survived. A tree that lost a few limbs and still has a sound trunk can often be pruned back and kept. A split trunk, a deep crack, or a lean at the roots usually points to removal. We will give you a straight recommendation, including leaving it alone when that is the right call.
Many mature trees do fine with a professional look every few years, while young trees often need light shaping early on. Trees over roofs, driveways and wires may need attention more often. The Trees Are Good site from the International Society of Arboriculture has plain pruning advice, and our post on how often to trim trees in Rochester NY goes deeper.
Small, shallow stumps can sometimes be handled with rented equipment, but grinders throw debris and roots usually run wider than they look. Before any digging or grinding, call 811 so buried lines are marked. Dig Safely New York explains how. For anything bigger, stump grinding in Rochester NY is usually safer with a professional.
