Wilmer Salguero

Owner and Operator

Wilmer Salguero is a veteran tree care specialist and the Owner and Operator of DS Tree Services Corp., a locally owned and family-operated arboriculture and property maintenance company based in Nassau County, New York. With over 25 years of hands-on industry experience, Wilmer has dedicated his career to protecting residential and commercial properties across Long Island and Queens through safe, sustainable, and high-precision tree services.


Combining deep knowledge of tree biology with rigorous job-site safety standards, Wilmer leads his team with a hands-on approach—overseeing everything from routine seasonal pruning to complex, high-risk tree removals and 24/7 emergency storm cleanup.


Over 25 Years of Hands-On Arboricultural Leadership


Wilmer’s journey in the tree care industry began over two and a half decades ago. Working his way up through every level of tree service and land maintenance, he mastered the trade from the ground up—learning the intricacies of tree rigging, structural pruning, soil health, and hazard evaluation.


In 2010, Wilmer established DS Tree Services Corp. with a clear mission: to bring honest pricing, exceptional workmanship, and dependable local expertise to homeowners and business owners throughout Nassau County and Queens County. Today, under his leadership, the company is recognized for its reliability, rapid response times, and commitment to leaving every property cleaner and safer than when the crew arrived.


Expertise in Comprehensive Tree and Land Care


Throughout his 25+ years in the field, Wilmer has developed specialized expertise across the full spectrum of tree care and land management. He understands the unique regional challenges faced by Long Island landscapes—including seasonal coastal storms, high-wind events, invasive pests, soil compaction, and root disease. His core areas of expertise include:

  • Hazardous Tree Removal and Confined-Space Felling: Skilled in dismantling large, dead, or storm-damaged trees near homes, utility lines, and delicate structures using professional bucket trucks and advanced rigging techniques.
  • Structural Pruning and Seasonal Care: Applying arboricultural best practices to trim, thin, and prune trees for optimal sunlight penetration, wind resistance, and structural integrity.
  • 24/7 Emergency Storm Response: Mobilizing equipment and crews day or night to safely remove fallen limbs, clear blocked driveways, and mitigate immediate structural risks after severe weather.
  • Stump Grinding and Land Leveling: Eliminating tripping hazards, decay-spreading roots, and invasive regrowth to prepare lawns for new landscaping or construction.
  • Comprehensive Land Maintenance: Overseeing sod installation, tree planting, and firewood log supply to enhance outdoor beauty and curb appeal.


A Philosophy Rooted in Safety, Integrity, and Property Value


Wilmer’s philosophy as an owner-operator centers on the belief that quality tree care should be both accessible and stress-free. In an industry where inexperienced handling can lead to property damage or personal injury, Wilmer prioritizes strict safety protocols and continuous equipment maintenance. Every project undertaken by DS Tree Services Corp. is fully licensed and insured, giving property owners complete peace of mind.


What distinguishes Wilmer’s approach is his emphasis on preventative maintenance and honest guidance. Rather than recommending unnecessary removals, he evaluates the structural health of every tree to determine whether corrective pruning, cabling, or soil care can preserve it. When removal is the only viable or safe option, Wilmer ensures that the process is executed efficiently, with meticulous debris clearing and haul-away included as standard practice.


Serving the Long Island and Queens Communities


As a family-owned business leader, Wilmer takes pride in building lasting relationships with homeowners and municipal managers across Freeport, Baldwin, Roosevelt, Uniondale, Hempstead, North Merrick, Brooklyn, Queens, and the broader Nassau County region. Whether advising a homeowner on tree topping alternatives or directing a commercial land clearing operation, he remains personally accessible on job sites, ensuring that customer satisfaction remains the company's highest priority.
