From Insurance to Arboriculture: Meet Nick Potocki, The "N" of LNP Tree Service

At LNP Tree Service, our story is rooted in a unique combination of passion and expertise that sets us apart. One owner, Nick Potocki, brings a background that is perfectly suited to the high-stakes world of professional tree care: a decade of experience in the insurance industry.

A Strategic Shift from Risk Assessment to Risk Mitigation

I began my career helping clients manage and protect against risk in the insurance world. During this time, I earned the Certified Insurance Counselor (CIC) designation, which gave me a deep understanding of comprehensive liability, property damage, and safety protocols.

This knowledge forms the bedrock of LNP Tree Service's approach today. My insurance experience allows me to evaluate every job—especially complex removals near homes or property—with a clear focus on risk mitigation. Where others might see only a challenging cut, I sees potential hazards and proactively develops a plan to ensure the work is done not just efficiently, but safely and with full protection for your property.

The Passion for Tree Work

While my professional background is in policy, my passion lies outdoors. This path began with a childhood love for splitting wood. As a homeowner, this evolved into pruning and small removals on my own property. For me, tree work is a calling and a craft that brings me genuine joy:

"Tree work gives me the ability to share my craft with people. My favorite compliments were, 'You were smiling the whole time.' 'This has been the most peaceful experience.'... Sharpening the chain, walking the job for our safety briefing, putting on my climbing gear, executing the work, even clean up, gives me a joy at the end of the day."

Everyday I get to put my hands to work guided by GOD.

This commitment to the craft ensures that every project, from delicate pruning to large-scale removal, is completed with attention to detail and a commitment to preserving the health and aesthetics of your trees.

A True Family Business

LNP Tree Service is proud to be a local, family-owned and operated company. Our business is run by my wife Laura, the L, and I making every client a personal priority. This family-first approach means you can always expect direct communication, reliability, and the peace of mind that comes from working with owners who are personally invested in the quality and safety of the service provided. We are even slow getting our daughters into the business as well.
