Editorial Review
Our Take on Scottie's Tree Service
Scottie's is a small family operation with a 2007 start date, tidy cleanup in nearly every review and a stated certified arborist on staff. The review count is modest, and the website lists two phone numbers, so confirm the number before you call.

Company Background
About Scottie's Tree Service
Scottie’s Tree Service is the Staten Island entry on this list, a family and locally owned crew that works out of a commercial unit on Arthur Kill Road in the Charleston section of the island. The company's website says it was established in 2007 and describes 18 years of experience, which is consistent with the founding year shown on its About page.
The site lists tree removal, stump removal and grinding, pruning, trimming and land clearing for residential, commercial and municipal customers on Staten Island, plus storm damage cleanup and some jobs in Brooklyn and New Jersey. It advertises free estimates, a satisfaction guarantee and 24 hour emergency service. On credentials, the company says it is licensed and fully insured, lists OSHA certification, and says a certified arborist is on staff as the tree expert. It does not publish a licence number or the arborist's name, so none are listed here.
Reviews give the detail. A homeowner on the South Shore says Scottie and his team trimmed branches along a fence line, took down limbs hanging over a roof and safely removed a dead backyard tree, and was impressed by how prompt and efficient they were. Another had four trees removed in a tight spot along with overgrown brush. A long time customer calls the work consistently thorough, clean and safe, and one reviewer singles out cleanup so thorough that not a wood chip was left behind. Joseph is named in one review for friendly customer service.
The rating is 4.9 stars from 62 Google reviews, read November 7, 2026, the smallest review base among the five companies on this list, so the number moves faster with each new review. The site also shows two different phone numbers across pages, so use the number on the Google listing.
It suits Staten Island homeowners with storm damage, dead trees or brush to clear. It suits less well anyone in Manhattan or the northern boroughs. Before booking, ask for a written quote, a certificate of insurance and the arborist's credentials, and confirm who files the NYC Parks permit for any street tree.

Scottie's Tree Service FAQs
Is Scottie's Tree Service licensed, insured and certified?
The company's website says it is licensed and fully insured, lists OSHA certification and says a certified arborist is on staff. It does not publish a licence number, the arborist's name or a certificate. New York State has no general tree service licence, so ask for a certificate of insurance and the arborist's ISA certification number before booking.
Does Scottie's Tree Service offer 24 hour emergency tree removal on Staten Island?
Yes, the website advertises 24 hour emergency tree services and Google lists the business as open 24 hours a day. Call (718) 317-6762, the number on the Google listing, because the website shows another number on its contact page. Storm damage cleanup is among the listed services.
Does Scottie's Tree Service give free estimates and what areas does it cover?
Yes, free estimates and a satisfaction guarantee are advertised on the website. The company works from 4288 Arthur Kill Road on Staten Island and says it also takes jobs in Brooklyn and New Jersey. Land clearing for residential, commercial and municipal customers is on the service list, and reviewers say estimates and work started on time.

New York. Coverage is as the business describes it, cross-checked against where its recent documented work is. Confirm your address before scheduling, particularly at the edge of a service area.
