Wind events in this region can turn a marginal tree into an emergency overnight. When a tree or large limb has failed — or is clearly about to — the priorities are simple: keep people away, and get qualified help on site quickly.
Emergency work is different from scheduled work. It often involves trees under tension, damaged structures, and unstable wood that behaves unpredictably when cut. This is precisely the situation where DIY goes wrong; leave the chainsaw in the garage.
Common requests
- Trees fallen on homes, garages, fences, or vehicles
- Large limbs snapped and hanging in the canopy ('widow-makers')
- Trees uprooted or leaning after wind or saturated soil
- Split trunks and major storm damage
- Blocked driveways and access routes
Good to know
- If a tree or limb is touching a power line — or is even close — stay away and call the utility first. Never approach downed lines.
- If the structure of your home is damaged, keep everyone out of the affected rooms and document the damage with photos for insurance before cleanup, if it's safe to do so.
- Homeowner's insurance often covers tree damage to structures; take photos, keep receipts, and contact your insurer early.
- Describe the situation precisely in your request — what fell, what it's resting on, and whether anything is still hanging. It determines the equipment and urgency of the response.

Emergency Tree Service — frequently asked questions
What should I do right now, before help arrives?
Keep people and pets well away from the tree, especially from limbs under tension or anything near power lines. Don't attempt to cut or pull anything yourself. If lines are involved, call the utility; if the structure is unsafe, don't stay in it.
Is emergency response really available around the clock?
Response times depend on provider availability and storm conditions — after a major wind event, every crew in the region is busy. Emergency requests are prioritized and routed for the fastest available response.
Will insurance cover the removal?
If the tree damaged an insured structure, homeowner's policies commonly cover removal from the structure and repairs, subject to your deductible and limits. Removal of a tree that fell in the yard without hitting anything is often not covered. Confirm with your insurer.
The tree is my neighbor's but fell on my property. Who handles it?
Generally, damage on your property is handled through your insurance regardless of whose tree it was, unless negligence is involved. Get the hazard dealt with first; sort out responsibility with the insurers after.
