Commercial properties in Tioga County come in every shape. A rental house in Owego, a church lot in Newark Valley, a dairy operation outside Spencer, a parking lot along the Route 17 corridor near Waverly. Each one has trees that affect safety, appearance and liability, and each has people who need the property running while the work happens.
Tubbs Tree Service is a fully insured, Spencer-based crew led by Jason Tubbs, who brings 20+ years of experience including construction and property management. That background shapes how we handle commercial work. Every job begins with a $50 on-site consultation and an itemized plan with options, so managers and owners can approve scope and budget clearly. The $50 is credited when you accept, and the written plan is easy to forward to a board, an owner or an insurer.

Insurance paperwork and approvals
Many commercial clients need proof of insurance before anyone sets foot on site. Tubbs is fully insured, and we can provide a certificate of insurance on request. If a tree sits near a public road or right-of-way, check with the town, village or county office about permission, and Jason will flag those trees during the consultation.
Working around tenants, customers and livestock
We plan work so it disrupts as little as possible. That can mean starting early before a business opens, sectioning off part of a parking lot, giving tenants notice, or working around milking and feeding schedules on a farm. Removals near buildings are done in controlled sections with a crane, bucket truck or climbers, depending on the site.
One plan for several properties
If you manage more than one site, Jason can walk them in a single round and build a plan that covers each location. Work can then be ordered by urgency, with the riskiest trees handled first and routine pruning scheduled later. It keeps your records clean and your budget predictable.
Cleanup, chips and wood on commercial sites
Commercial clients usually want the site left ready for customers or tenants the same day. Your plan can include full haul-off, chips left for landscaped beds, or logs set aside for local use as firewood. A truck with a knuckle boom and log grapple lets us load heavy wood without dragging it over paving or lawns, which keeps lots and grounds in good shape.
Commercial Tree Service Questions From Tioga County
Can you send a certificate of insurance before the job starts?
Yes. Tubbs is fully insured, and we can send a certificate of insurance to you or your management company before work is scheduled. Let us know who should be listed when you request your consultation, and we will get the paperwork moving.
We manage rentals in Owego and Waverly. Can you look at all of them together?
Yes. List every address when you request a consultation. Jason can plan to visit them in one round and give you an itemized plan per property, ranked by urgency. That way you can approve the hazards now and schedule the rest around leases and budgets.
Can you work on the trees in our parking lot without closing the business?
Usually. We can section off part of the lot, work during slow hours, or split the job across days. For a big removal, a crane may need a defined work zone for a short time. Jason will lay out the options during the consultation so you can plan around them and give staff or customers notice.
