24/7 Emergency Tree Service in Essex & Morris County, NJ
Tree down? Limb on the roof? A dangerous leaner after the storm? T&D Tree Service responds around the clock with insured crews who protect your home first. Call now: (973) 434-5557.
T&D Tree Service is a family-owned, fully insured tree care company in Livingston, New Jersey, providing 24/7 emergency tree service throughout Essex County and Morris County since 1984. When a storm brings a tree down on your house, drops a limb across your driveway, or leaves a cracked branch hanging over where your kids play, you need a certified, insured crew on the way — not a voicemail. For 40 years, homeowners from Livingston and Millburn to Morristown and Mendham have kept our number on the fridge for exactly these moments.
Storm-damaged trees are unpredictable and dangerous. Limbs under tension can snap back; partially uprooted trees can shift without warning; and downed limbs are often tangled in power lines. This is not the time for a neighbor with a chainsaw. Our ISA Certified Arborists are trained to read the hazard, relieve the load safely and stabilize your property — fast. T&D Tree is licensed and fully insured, so the work is done right and your liability is covered.
“I had a huge tree come down on my shed and they came out same-day for emergency service. The crew worked hard to save the shed and remove the heavy limbs very carefully.” — Tania G., verified Google review

When to call for emergency tree service
If a tree or limb has failed and there is any risk to people, structures or wires, treat it as an emergency. Call for emergency tree service the moment you see:
- A tree down on a house, garage, fence, deck or vehicle
- A large limb hung up in the canopy — a ‘widow-maker’ waiting to drop
- A trunk that has split, cracked or developed a sudden new lean after wind or ice
- Branches tangled in or leaning on utility lines — keep everyone back and call the power company first
Do not try to cut a storm-loaded tree yourself — limbs under tension snap back with deadly force. Our emergency tree service crews are trained and insured for exactly this work.

Once the emergency is handled, we can finish the job with full tree removal, stump grinding or corrective pruning on nearby trees — anywhere in Essex & Morris County.
The storms that drive emergency tree service in NJ
Northern New Jersey takes a beating from every direction. Summer thunderstorms and microbursts snap tops and shear limbs; fall and spring nor’easters saturate the soil and topple whole trees; and winter piles wet snow and ice onto brittle branches until they fail. The remnants of tropical systems — homeowners here still remember Sandy and Ida — can flatten a mature tree in minutes. Each of these events sends our emergency tree service phones ringing across Essex & Morris County.
Some trees fail more than others — fast-growing silver maples, weak-forked Bradford pears, and the standing dead ash left by emerald ash borer are the usual casualties. If one is leaning over your home, don’t wait for the next storm: a planned tree removal today is far safer and cheaper than emergency tree service at 2 a.m. When it does hit, though, we answer.
What to expect when you call
Emergency work is priced on-site once a certified arborist can safely see the hazard, and cost depends on:
- Severity and risk — a limb resting on a roof versus a full tree through the structure
- Time and access — overnight and holiday calls, and how the crew and crane can reach it
- Cleanup and hauling — clearing every log and limb once your property is safe
T&D never gouges neighbors in a crisis, and we document the work with photos and an itemized invoice to support your homeowners-insurance claim. Learn more about T&D, read our storm-response reviews, or see every town we cover on our service areas page.

What Essex & Morris County says about T&D Tree
This service is THE BEST! A huge tree came down on my shed and they came out same-day. The crew worked hard to save the shed and removed the heavy limbs very carefully. Cleaned up nicely — excellent service.
I have been using T&D for years. There is no reason to use anyone else. They are reliable, competent and fairly priced. Thank you Dave.
Best tree services in Essex and Morris counties. Dave came for a prompt estimate, pulled the permit quickly, and his crew did a great job above our expectations — covered the siding and pathway to avoid damage.
I’ve used T&D multiple times and they never disappoint. Professional, friendly, efficient. They leave the area spotless — it’s clear they take pride in their work. Highly recommend!
T&D was wonderful — always on time, always when promised. David showed a vast knowledge of local trees, his team used a crane and wore safety equipment, and they cleaned up completely.
They do exceptional work at extremely reasonable prices. Dave was an absolute pleasure to work with. The tree was a monster and came down seamlessly — they truly go above and beyond.
Dave arrived on time with a reasonable quote, and the crew showed up the very morning he promised. Courteous, efficient and professional — they protected our property and cleaned up well.
Massive 50-ft tree removed at the last minute, leaving no trace on my neighbor’s yard. Amazing work for just 3 guys. Fair pricing and easy to work with.
Responsive, dependable, and his team is neat and very careful. I’ve used T&D in the past and would not do business with any other tree company in Livingston.
Very reasonable pricing. Great service. Crew arrived at the time promised. Yard was left spotless.
