Emergency Storm Damage Service From a Certified Arborist in Clayton, NJ

Heavy winds and lightning can bring down even the healthiest trees. In Clayton, New Jersey, that often means branches on cars, uprooted trunks across yards, or worse, damage to your home or business. When chaos hits your property, you need more than just a chainsaw and a cleanup crew. You need a team with extensive experience providing emergency storm damage tree services.

At Forrest Tree Surgeon, we’ve spent over 30 years helping Clayton residents handle the aftermath of unpredictable weather. From the moment you call, we act quickly to assess the scene, remove dangerous debris, and get things back under control with no shortcuts, no risks, and no delay.

What to Do When a Tree Falls on Your Property

Storm damage can be overwhelming, especially when there’s debris on your roof or blocking access to your home. Here's how to handle the situation safely:

  1. Stay Clear of Danger Zones – Keep your distance from any damaged trees, especially those near power lines or leaning on structures.
  2. Call a Certified Professional – Avoid trying to remove limbs or trees yourself. Emergency removals require training, tools, and experience to prevent further damage or injury.
  3. Document the Damage – Take photos for insurance purposes before any cleanup begins.
  4. Contact Forrest Tree Surgeon – We’re available to respond quickly anywhere in Clayton or the surrounding area.

We understand how stressful storm damage can be. Our team takes over from the moment you call, managing the risks, coordinating safe removal and pruning, and ensuring everything is handled professionally and efficiently.

How We Handle Emergency Tree Services

Storm damage often leaves trees in unpredictable and dangerous positions. At Forrest Tree Surgeon, we’ve seen it all—and we know how to fix it. Here’s what our emergency response typically includes:

  • Site Assessment by a Certified Arborist – We start with a professional evaluation to identify immediate hazards and the best course of action. Every job is by an expert arborist, so you’re not getting guesswork, you’re getting informed decisions based on tree biology and risk factors.
  • Stabilization and Controlled Dismantling – If a tree is leaning on a home or tangled in wires, we secure the area and use bucket trucks or rigging systems to remove it safely without causing further damage.
  • On-Site Cleanup – Once all immediate threats are removed, we chip branches, cut and haul large logs, and leave your property clear of debris.
  • Optional Tree Health Follow-Up – Surviving trees may have hidden damage. We can complete post-storm inspections to help you identify trees that could pose risks in the future.

In the end, you’ll be left with a safe property free from dangerous trees and branches.

"All I can say is Wow! Forrest Tree Surgeon was really wonderful. They were professional, personable, and willing to answer my questions.  They worked together as a well oiled machine. If I had more trees, I'd use them again!"

"We love working with Forrest Tree. We used them to clear our wooded property lot prior to building our house, and had him come back to take down additional trees recently. The crew places a high value on safety and transparency, and we plan to use them in the future for any tree removal or trimming needs."

Lindsay T.

"I don’t know what I was expecting but the experience was definitely more than what I could have hoped for. The price was more than fair. They worked quickly and efficiently and removed 11 trees and ground the stumps. I expected some cleanup, but they left the yard in pristine condition. Overall great experience. Highly recommend."
