A tree emergency involves situations where a tree poses an immediate safety risk or property damage, such as storm damage causing broken branches, a fallen or leaning tree threatening structures, or trees interfering with power lines. If you notice unstable limbs, root damage, or a tree that fell partially but is still standing precariously, call emergency services immediately. Prompt professional intervention prevents accidents, further damage, and costly repairs.
Response times vary based on the severity of the emergency and current demand, but we prioritize urgent calls and aim to respond within hours, especially after storms. Our locally based crews are strategically positioned to reach clients quickly. For large-scale weather events, priority is given to the most dangerous situations first, but we keep clients updated and strive for the fastest, safest resolution.
Safety is paramount in emergency tree work. We use industry-standard personal protective equipment (PPE), conduct risk assessments, and employ specialized equipment like cranes, ropes, and rigging systems. Our trained arborists follow OSHA guidelines to protect workers, clients, and properties, especially when working near power lines or unstable trees. This reduces injury risk and ensures efficient, damage-free removals.
Our experts take every precaution to minimize property impact. We use controlled cutting and rigging techniques to lower branches safely, avoiding damage to roofs, fences, and landscaping. However, in severe emergencies, some minor damage might be unavoidable due to the urgency and hazardous nature of the work. We communicate openly about risks and offer post-service clean-up and repair referrals when necessary.
Costs depend on factors such as tree size, location, complexity of the removal, accessibility, and urgency. Emergency services usually incur a premium compared to scheduled work due to expedited response and specialized equipment. We provide transparent estimates upfront and work within your budget while ensuring safety and quality. Insurance claims may cover some costs—consult your provider for details.

Trees or branches on power lines are extremely hazardous and require immediate professional intervention. We coordinate with local utility companies to ensure power is safely managed before beginning removal. Our crews are trained for these situations and use insulated tools and protocols to prevent electrical accidents. Never attempt to remove trees on power lines yourself—always call emergency services.
First, ensure everyone is safe and keep a safe distance from the tree, especially if near power lines. Avoid touching or moving fallen limbs. Secure pets and children indoors. If there’s property damage, document it with photos for insurance purposes. Contact emergency tree services promptly and provide clear information about the situation to help dispatch the right resources quickly.
Our certified arborists assess tree stability, extent of structural damage, root health, and overall risk. Some trees with minor limb damage can be pruned and treated, while severely cracked trunks or uprooted trees usually require removal to prevent future hazards. We provide honest recommendations focused on safety and long-term health of your landscape.
