Before we get there
Tree down? Do this first.
Your safety comes before the tree. While you wait for our crew:
- Stay away from power lines. If a tree or limb is touching a line, treat it as live. Keep everyone back and call 911 and your power company.
- Get out from under it. If a tree is resting on your roof, keep people and pets out of those rooms.
- Don’t cut it yourself. Storm-downed trunks and limbs are often under tension and can spring or roll when they’re cut.
- Take photos. Pictures of the damage before cleanup starts help with an insurance claim.
- Call us at (916) 990-3724. We’ll tell you what needs to happen now and what can safely wait for daylight.
Storm damage services
What we clear after a storm
Winter storms in the foothills bring saturated ground and strong wind, and that’s when big oaks and pines come down. Our crew has the trucks and heavy equipment to handle whole trees, not just branches.
Trees on houses, garages & fences
We take the weight off the structure piece by piece, carefully, so the tree doesn’t do more damage on the way down.
Blocked driveways & roads
We cut a path first so you can get in and out, then finish the cleanup.
Uprooted & leaning trees
Soaked ground lets big trees tip. We take down trees leaning toward your home before they fall.
Split trunks & hanging limbs
Broken limbs hung up in a tree can drop without warning. We bring them down safely.
Debris cleanup & haul-away
Limbs, brush and logs: we chip the brush and cut up or haul away the wood.
Stump grinding
Once the tree is gone we grind out the stump, so you can repair the lawn or driveway.
A recent storm call
Granite Bay: oaks down across the driveway
Severe weather brought down several large oaks at this Granite Bay home, one right across the driveway. Our crew cut them up, cleared the debris and stacked the wood, then removed the stump without damaging the driveway.

We clean up
We leave your property clean. Our customers say you’d never know we were there.
Benuto Tree Service performed emergency tree removal several months ago on an Oak that had leaned onto our roof preventing any roof damage. … His crew exercises the utmost in safety. Best of all, you never knew they were there after his team left for the day.

Questions
Storm damage FAQ
Do you answer emergency calls at night and on weekends?
Yes. Call (916) 990-3724 any time, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Will insurance pay for storm tree removal?
Often, when a tree falls on a covered structure such as your house, garage or fence. Every policy is different, so check with your insurance company. Take photos before cleanup starts, and ask us for a detailed invoice for your claim.
Can you look at a leaning or cracked tree before it falls?
Yes, and that’s the best time to call. We’ll come take a look and give you a free estimate.
What happens to the wood?
We can chip the brush and haul everything away, or cut the trunk into rounds and stack it if you’d like to keep the firewood.
Where we work: El Dorado Hills, Folsom, Cameron Park, Shingle Springs, Rescue, Placerville, Granite Bay and Auburn, and across El Dorado, Nevada and Plumas Counties.
