Types of Emergency Tree Services We Offer
Storm Damage Response
Severe storms can wreak havoc on trees, causing limbs to break, trunks to split, or entire trees to fall. Our storm damage response team acts quickly to remove debris, assess hazards, and ensure your property is safe and accessible.
Fallen Tree and Broken Limb Removal
Whether a tree has fallen onto your home, driveway, or another structure, we provide swift removal services to clear the area and prevent further damage. Our team also safely removes large broken limbs that pose a risk to people, property, or utility lines.
Leaning Tree Stabilization
Leaning trees can be a sign of structural instability, particularly after high winds or saturated soil. We assess the tree’s condition and, where possible, stabilize it to prevent further leaning or uprooting. If stabilization isn’t viable, we recommend safe removal options.
Lightning Strike Damage Response
Trees struck by lightning often suffer internal damage that weakens their structure, making them a safety hazard. We evaluate lightning-damaged trees to determine if they can be saved through pruning or require removal to prevent further risks.
Cracked or Split Tree Trunk Assessment and Removal
Cracks or splits in a tree trunk often indicate severe structural damage, which can lead to tree failure. Our team inspects the extent of the damage and determines whether the tree can be salvaged or must be removed to ensure safety.
Common Scenarios Requiring Emergency Tree Services
- Downed trees after a storm. High winds, heavy rain, and ice storms can cause trees to fall, creating an immediate safety hazard. We quickly remove downed trees to prevent property damage and restore access.
- Broken or hanging branches. Storms often leave behind broken limbs or branches hanging precariously, which can fall unexpectedly. We remove dangerous limbs to eliminate the risk of injury or further damage.
- Leaning or uprooted trees. Trees that lean or partially uproot during a storm pose an ongoing risk, as they may fall without warning. Our team assesses and removes such trees to restore safety.
- Tree damage near power lines or structures. When trees are damaged near power lines, homes, or other structures, they require urgent removal to avoid outages or structural damage. Our professionals handle these high-risk situations with specialized equipment and experience.

Our Storm Damage Remediation Process
- Initial site assessment. An expert arrives promptly to evaluate the storm damage and assess any immediate hazards. This includes checking for unstable trees, broken limbs, and proximity to power lines or structures. We consult with you to determine the safest and most efficient course of action.
- You get approval from your insurance, if needed. We prepare an estimate to be sent to your insurance company. Often, insurance companies require specific verbiage and cost allocations before the job can be approved. We have 15 years of experience dealing with insurance issues, so you don't have to.
- Our team arrives for emergency tree removal and stabilization. Once the estimate is approved, we begin the removal of fallen, leaning, or broken trees and limbs that pose a risk. For trees that can be salvaged, we may use cabling or bracing techniques to stabilize and restore structural integrity.
- We take care of stump and root system management. If a tree is uprooted or requires complete removal, we offer stump grinding and root extraction as part of our storm remediation service. This prevents tripping hazards and helps prepare your landscape for restoration.
- End with a thorough clean-up and debris removal. After tree removal, our team ensures all debris, including branches, logs, and stump remnants, is cleared from your property. We leave your landscape in a safe, clean condition, and you may choose to keep the wood for mulch or firewood, or have it completely removed.
