Tree Service in Tompkins County, NY

Tompkins County is home ground for Tubbs Tree Service. Most of our work happens here, from the City of Ithaca and the Village of Cayuga Heights out to the farm roads of Dryden, Groton and Caroline. Jason Tubbs runs the company from Spencer, just over the line in Tioga County, and brings 20+ years of experience in forestry, residential tree work, and construction and property management to every property he walks.

This county asks a lot of a tree crew. In Ithaca, tall maples, oaks and spruces share small lots with rental houses, porches and parked cars, so many removals come down in controlled sections by crane, bucket truck or climbers on ropes. Along Cayuga Lake, Lansing on the east shore and Trumansburg and Ulysses on the west shore bring steep banks and lake views worth protecting. In Danby, Newfield and Enfield, the work shifts to wooded acreage, hedgerows, long driveways and slopes that drop toward the creeks feeding the gorges.

Every job starts the same way: a $50 on-site consultation with Jason. He walks the property with you and writes an itemized plan with several levels of service to choose from, and the $50 is credited to the job when you accept it. Your plan can protect the house, leave habitat for wildlife, and send the wood to local use as firewood, mulch or sometimes building material. For a tree that is already failing, our emergency tiers are on the emergency page. You can request a consultation and pick preferred times on our contact page.
