Nassau County sits in one of the most storm-active regions on the East Coast. NorEasters, tropical storms, and summer microbursts routinely bring down large trees and limbs across Plainview, Syosset, Bethpage, and neighboring communities. When a tree lands on your roof, blocks your driveway, or hangs dangerously over a structure, you need a crew on-site fast — not a voicemail.
Plainview Tree Service maintains fully equipped emergency crews ready to respond year-round. We prioritize jobs where a tree is actively threatening a structure, blocking emergency access, or creating an imminent safety hazard. Our crews carry the rigging, climbing gear, and cutting equipment to handle any emergency safely — even in tight Nassau County yards with overhead utilities and neighboring structures close by.
Trees & PSEG Long Island Power Lines — Who Is Responsible?
This is one of the most common questions Nassau County homeowners ask after a storm. PSEG Long Island is responsible for clearing trees within their utility easement — the zone around their primary distribution lines on public rights-of-way. However, the homeowner is responsible for the service drop (the line running from the utility pole directly to your house) and for trees on private property that are threatening that line. When a downed tree involves utility lines, do not touch it — call PSEG at 1-800-490-0025 for line hazards, then call us to handle the tree work once the lines are safe. We coordinate with PSEG regularly and know exactly how this process works.
We work directly with homeowner's insurance carriers and can provide same-day documentation — photos, written reports, and invoices — to support your claim.
If you're facing a tree emergency right now, call us immediately. We answer 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Serving all of Nassau County including Plainview, Syosset, Hicksville, Bethpage, Woodbury, Jericho, Melville, Old Bethpage, Farmingdale, Levittown, Massapequa, Westbury, and Oyster Bay.
