What Should I Do If a Tree Falls on My Property in Western New York?

Western New York weather is unpredictable. Heavy snow, ice storms, thunderstorms, and high winds regularly bring down tree limbs — and sometimes entire trees. When a storm leaves your property littered with branches, you need fast, professional removal.

What to Do After a Storm

1. 1Stay Safe: Don't approach limbs that are touching power lines. Call your utility company first.
2. 2Assess Damage: Walk your property and note fallen limbs, damaged structures, and blocked access.
3. 3Document for Insurance: Take photos of storm damage before cleanup begins.
4. 4Call a Professional: Large limbs and trees require proper equipment to cut and haul safely.

• Stump Grinding: Grind remaining stumps below ground level (optional)

Why Not DIY Limb Removal?

• Safety: Cutting large limbs requires experience to control where they fall
• Equipment: Most homeowners don't own a chainsaw or have it maintained properly
