Why Hudson Valley Homeowners Choose Expert Tree Service

Family-Owned Since 1936. Expert Tree Service is a fourth-generation, family-owned business. We’ve been removing and caring for trees in the Hudson Valley since before the Thruway existed. That kind of history means deep knowledge of local tree species, soil conditions, property layouts, and the specific challenges that come with working in this region, from steep hillside properties in the Catskills to historic estates along the river.

Licensed and Insured. Tree work is inherently dangerous, and hiring an uninsured crew can leave you liable for injuries or property damage. Expert Tree Service carries full liability insurance and workers’ compensation coverage. We’re happy to provide proof of insurance before any job starts.

24/7 Emergency Availability. When a nor’easter or summer thunderstorm puts a tree through your roof at 2 AM, you need a crew that answers the phone. Our emergency line is staffed around the clock, and because we’re based locally in Saugerties, we can reach most locations in Ulster, Dutchess, Greene, and Columbia counties quickly.

The Right Equipment for the Job. We operate our own fleet of crane trucks, bucket trucks, chippers, and log loaders. That means we don’t subcontract the difficult jobs. Whether it’s a routine backyard removal or a 70-foot oak leaning over your garage, we have the machinery on hand to handle it safely and efficiently.

Four-County Coverage. From our home base on Route 9W in Saugerties, we serve homeowners, municipalities, and commercial properties across Ulster County, Dutchess County, Greene County, and Columbia County. Our service area runs from Poughkeepsie and Red Hook in the south to Catskill and Hudson in the north, and west to Ellenville and the Shawangunk Ridge.
