Service

Emergency Tree Service

24-hour emergency response for trees down on your property, split limbs, and urgent storm damage — call us directly.

When It's a Tree Emergency

A tree emergency generally means there's an immediate safety risk: a tree or large limb has already come down, a tree is visibly leaning or cracked and could fail at any moment, or storm damage is blocking a driveway, walkway, or access to your home.

What To Do Before We Arrive

Keep people, pets, and vehicles away from the affected area, including anywhere a damaged tree or hanging limb could still fall. If a tree has come down on power lines, do not approach it — contact the utility company immediately and treat the area as live.

Our Response

Call our office directly for emergency situations rather than requesting an estimate online — a phone call gets the fastest response. We'll assess the situation and prioritize making the site safe.

Storm Damage Cleanup

Beyond the immediate hazard, storms often leave behind broken limbs, debris, and trees that look fine but have hidden structural damage. We can assess the broader storm damage on your property, not just the most urgent piece.

Insurance Documentation

If you're filing a homeowners insurance claim for storm damage, photograph the damage before cleanup begins where it's safe to do so, and keep any invoices from the work performed.

FAQs

Emergency Service FAQs

Do you offer emergency tree service?

Yes. We provide 24-hour emergency tree service. For a tree down, a hanging limb, or urgent storm damage, call us directly rather than requesting an online estimate so we can respond as quickly as possible.

What should I do if a tree falls on power lines?

Stay well away from the tree and the lines, and contact the utility company immediately. Treat any downed line as live until a utility crew confirms otherwise.

Does homeowners insurance cover storm-damaged trees?

It depends on your policy and the circumstances. Check with your insurance provider directly — we're not able to give insurance advice, but we can document damage and provide the tree work needed to support a claim.
