Equipment and Capabilities

Stump Grinder

Equipped with stump grinding machinery to eliminate leftover stumps after removal. Leaves your yard clean and ready for replanting or landscaping.

Stump grinding is done to near-ground level, and customers consistently note that after Total Tree Services completes the job you can’t tell a stump was ever there. In several jobs they’ve ground multiple stumps—up to seven in one backyard—while keeping the yard clean and free of debris. Crews work carefully around sensitive features, avoiding septic lines and delicate roofs, so nearby structures stay protected during grinding. Their responsiveness in Canandaigua and the Western NY/Finger Lakes area is a common pattern, with quick on-site service and efficient scheduling for stump work, even in emergencies. They document the process with photos and videos for insurance claims, underscoring thorough, complete stump removal as part of broader tree care.

Emergency and Storm

Storm Cleanup

Ready to respond after high winds, ice storms, or heavy snow bring trees and limbs down across your property.

Storm cleanup capability is demonstrated by rapid response, professional hazard assessment, and decisive removal of storm-damaged trees near homes. Clients report quick on-site action—often within hours or the same day—followed by clear explanations of options and fair, prompt service. They’re able to deploy heavy equipment when needed, including excavators to lift trees off roofs and clear dangerous debris without harming structures or utilities like septic systems or nearby hedges. The team provides comprehensive cleanup, stump grinding, and debris removal, leaving yards clean and ready for insurance claims with photos and videos to document the work. Across experiences, customers highlight safety, reliability, and a personal, go‑above‑and‑beyond approach during storm events.

24 Hour Emergency Response

Available around the clock for dangerous situations - a tree on your roof, a limb blocking your driveway, or a trunk threatening to fall. Day or night.

When danger from a fallen or threatening tree arises, response is fast and dependable, with crews often arriving within an hour of contact and even on Sundays to stabilize and remove hazards. They quickly assess the site, coordinate the right crew and equipment, and in tight situations bring in heavy gear like excavators to lift trees off roofs and away from danger. They thoughtfully protect sensitive areas—never running heavy equipment over septic lines and taking care around structures, power lines, and nearby yards—while making safety a top priority. Clear communication and transparent planning are consistently noted, with explanations of options, fair estimates, and steady updates throughout the emergency work. The result is rapid, thorough removal of dangerous trees, prompt cleanup, and a safe, restored property in a single day or two.

Tree Services

Works Near Structures

Skilled at working in tight spaces where trees sit close to homes, fences, garages, or power lines. Precision removal without damage to surrounding structures.

Serving Canandaigua and the Western NY Finger Lakes region, near-structure work is a core capability of Total Tree Services. Customers report they begin with a property walk-around to spot hidden risks and protect infrastructure like septic lines, avoiding heavy equipment over delicate areas. When a large ash tree fell onto a roof, they used an excavator to lift it off safely rather than dropping it onto the house, and they carefully surveyed damage and documented it for insurance. For high limbs close to structures, they leverage a 100-foot bucket to reach and control cuts without interfering with nearby plants or utilities. Cleanup is meticulous, leaving yards tidy and protecting hedges, fences, and other features.

Large Trees

Experienced handling oversized trees - tall, wide, or heavily branched. Removing or trimming a large tree requires specialized skill and equipment, and these pros have both.

Handling large_tree work, they routinely remove enormous, hazardous trees that threaten homes, block driveways, or stand between structures, as shown when massive ash trees fell on driveways and even onto second-story roofs. Customers note quick response and thorough site assessment, with clear explanations of options and fair estimates, followed by prompt execution. They employ skilled rigging and heavy equipment, including excavators to lift and drop trees away from buildings when needed, and they work around septic lines and landscaping to avoid damage. Their large_tree projects often involve removing multiple large trees in a single visit, plus stump grinding and root removal, with meticulous cleanup that leaves yards looking as if nothing happened. Work near structures, roofs, fences, power lines, and other sensitive features is done with safety and precision, and crews document the process with photos and videos for insurance or planning. In Canandaigua and the broader Western NY and Finger Lakes area, clients consistently report reliable, professional service for large_tree needs.

Dead Tree Experience

Specialists in the safe removal of dead, dying, or diseased trees. Dead trees are unpredictable - experience and caution matter.

Dead-tree work is treated with urgency and care in Canandaigua and the Western NY/Finger Lakes region, with swift on-site assessments and clear options for safe removal. When a dead ash tree blocked a driveway and threatened a second-story roof, they called in an excavator to lift the hazard, avoiding damage to septic lines and the home. They document damage for insurance with photos and videos and guide homeowners through the claims process. Cleanup is meticulous—stump grinding, debris removal, and a yard left spotless. The team is consistently praised for professionalism, safety, quick response (including emergencies and weekends), and reliable service that respects property and surrounding landscaping.

Stump Removal

Full stump extraction, root and all - not just grinding. Ideal when you need the area completely cleared for construction, landscaping, or replanting.

Stump grinding is a core capability delivered with precision, and customers repeatedly note that the area looks untouched—often you can’t tell a stump was ever there. They routinely handle multiple stumps in one project; for example, one job involved grinding seven stumps along with other tree work, leaving the yard clean and the landscape seamless. Root removal is often included, with crews taking care to remove roots and set the area for replanting, and they have shown sensitivity to structures and underground utilities, including protecting septic lines and avoiding damage to roofs or other features. Cleanup is consistently thorough—debris is cleared, wood chips are managed, and the site is left neat. In the Canandaigua and broader Western NY / Finger Lakes region, customers rely on this stump removal capability as part of comprehensive tree care, especially after large removals and storm damage.
