About Us
About JensenStar Tree Company
JensenStar is a Buffalo tree company owned and operated by the people who do the climbing, rigging, and cleanup. The person who walks your property and writes your quote works on the crew that shows up to do the job.
We work on homes and commercial properties across Buffalo and Erie County, and we focus on three things: doing the work safely, communicating clearly, and leaving the yard clean.
Who We Are
A Local Crew Built Around Western New York Trees
Tree work in Western New York comes with its own problems. Lake-effect snow and ice storms load weak limbs fast. Older neighborhoods like Elmwood Village and North Buffalo put century-old oaks and maples a few feet from houses, garages, and lines. And the Emerald Ash Borer has left dead and declining ash trees across Erie County.
Our crew works in those conditions every season. That experience shapes how we look at a tree: where it could fail, what it could hit, and whether it can be saved with pruning or really needs to come down.
If a quick prune will solve the problem, we’ll tell you, even when a removal would be the bigger job.
What You Can Expect
How We Treat Your Trees and Your Property
Certified Arborist Knowledge
Our arborists hold ISA certification, so decisions about cuts, decay, and leaning trees are based on how trees actually grow and fail, not on whatever branch is easiest to reach.
Equipment for Tight Lots
A 50-ton crane and a 60-foot aerial lift let us work on large trees on close-set Buffalo lots without dropping heavy wood onto roofs, fences, or lawns.
Clear Communication
You get a written quote and a clear timeline. If a storm or ice pushes the schedule back, we call or text you right away.
Permits and Paperwork
When a job needs a municipal permit, an arborist report, or HOA approval, we handle it so you don’t spend your morning at the town clerk’s office.
Real Cleanup
We chip the branches, haul away the wood, and blow off driveways, walks, and patios before the trucks leave.
Safety on Every Site
Crews hold a safety huddle before work starts, mark the drop zone, wear full protective gear, and inspect rigging equipment every morning.
Credentials & Coverage
Trained, Insured, and Ready to Show Proof
Hiring an uninsured crew puts the liability on you if something goes wrong. We carry full coverage and are happy to send a certificate of insurance to you, your HOA, your mortgage company, or your town clerk before any work begins.

Meet the Crew
The People Who Show Up to Do the Work
Lead Arborist, ISA Certified
With fifteen years of local field experience, our lead arborist handles complex rigging and structural health assessments across Western New York, and runs the job site on high-risk removals, tight drop zones, and large trees hanging over houses.
Crew Lead, OSHA 10 Trained
Our crew lead runs ground safety on every property: the pre-job safety huddle, marked drop zones, full protective gear, and equipment checks. You get the same dedicated crew from the first cut to the final cleanup.
Equipment & Safety
Equipment That Protects Your Property
Big trees on small lots need the right equipment. Our fleet includes a 50-ton hydraulic crane for lifting heavy sections over rooflines, a 60-foot aerial lift for reaching high limbs without spike-climbing, a commercial wood chipper, and a stump grinder built to fit through narrow residential gates.
Every crew member works in full protective gear, including chainsaw chaps, hard hats, face shields, and hearing protection, and our equipment gets a mechanical inspection every day.
