Emergency Tree Services

Common Tree Emergency Situations

Tree emergencies can occur suddenly and without warning. Understanding common emergency situations can help you recognize when to call for immediate professional assistance:

• •Storm Damage: High winds, heavy snow, or ice storms can cause branches to break or entire trees to fall, creating immediate hazards.
• •Fallen Trees: Trees that have fallen on homes, vehicles, power lines, or are blocking roads and driveways require immediate removal.
• •Hanging Branches: Large branches that are partially broken and hanging precariously pose serious safety risks and must be removed promptly.
• •Leaning Trees: Trees that suddenly develop a severe lean, especially after storms or soil saturation, may be at risk of imminent failure.
• •Lightning Strikes: Trees struck by lightning can be structurally compromised and may pose immediate danger to nearby structures.
• •Root Failure: Trees with exposed or damaged root systems that are at risk of falling and causing property damage or injury.

Our Rapid Emergency Response Process

When you call our emergency line, we respond immediately to assess the situation and dispatch our crew. Our first priority is always safety—protecting people, property, and utilities from further damage. We arrive equipped with the tools and equipment necessary to handle any emergency, including chainsaws, rigging equipment, cranes, and specialized safety gear.

Our emergency services include securing dangerous trees, removing fallen trees and branches, clearing debris from structures and roadways, and emergency tree stabilization. We work efficiently to minimize further damage and restore safety to your property as quickly as possible. Our team is trained to work safely around power lines and will coordinate with utility companies when necessary.

After addressing the immediate emergency, we can provide a comprehensive assessment of any remaining damage and recommend follow-up services such as complete tree removal or corrective pruning for damaged trees that can be saved. We also assist with insurance documentation and can provide detailed reports and photographs for your claims.

Storm Preparation and Prevention

While we cannot prevent all tree emergencies, regular maintenance and inspection can significantly reduce the risk of storm damage and tree failure. Our arborists can identify potential hazards before they become emergencies, such as dead or dying branches, structural weaknesses, and trees with poor health or stability.

We recommend scheduling regular tree inspections, especially before storm season, to identify and address potential problems. Proper pruning, cabling and bracing of weak branches, and removal of hazardous trees can prevent many emergency situations. Investing in preventive tree care is far less costly and stressful than dealing with emergency tree damage. Our team is here to help you protect your property year-round with both emergency response and preventive maintenance services.
