What is a Tree Service Emergency?

Know When to Call for Urgent Tree Care

Tree emergencies can happen without warning and often require immediate professional attention. Understanding what constitutes a true tree emergency helps you make quick, informed decisions about your safety and property.

Here's what we consider to be a tree emergency:

Trees on Structures

Any tree or large limb that has fallen onto your home, garage, or other structure requires immediate attention to prevent further damage and assess structural safety.

Unstable Trees

Trees that are leaning suddenly, have split trunks, or show signs of imminent failure, especially near buildings or high-traffic areas.

Storm Damage

Severe storm damage that has left trees or large branches precariously positioned or partially fallen.

Access Blockage

Trees blocking essential access to your property, including driveways, entrances, or emergency exits.

Power Line Contact

Trees that have fallen into or are in immediate danger of falling into power lines. Never approach trees in contact with power lines - call your utility company first.

Hanging or Split Branches

Large branches that are partially attached or "hanging" after a storm, particularly over structures or areas where people pass beneath.

Our Emergency Response Process

Swift, Safe, and Systematic Crisis Management

When you contact for an emergency tree situation, you can count on a well-coordinated response that prioritizes safety while quickly addressing the immediate threat. Here's what happens when you call us:

  • 1

    Immediate Contact Assessment

    Within minutes of your call, we gather critical information about your emergency to dispatch the right equipment and crew members. We'll ask specific questions about the situation to ensure we arrive prepared.

  • 2

    Rapid Site Evaluation

    Upon arrival, our emergency response team will assess any immediate safety threats, potential complications or hazards, and property damage. They’ll then decide upon the required equipment and personnel, and the best approach for tree removal or stabilization.

  • 3

    Establishment of a Safety Perimeter

    Before any work begins, we protect the surrounding property by setting up safety barriers and clearing the area of people, pets, and movable objects (including vehicles, if possible) that could get in the way.

  • 4

    Emergency Tree Work

    Our skilled crew then gets to work. They’ll shield your property from further damage by removing immediate dangers, stabilizing compromised trees, and clearing blocked access points.

  • 5

    Initial Cleanup

    Once the immediate danger is addressed, we secure any remaining hazards, clear essential access ways, and remove all major debris. If desired, we’ll also document the damage for insurance purposes.

  • 6

    Follow-Up Assessment

    Before we leave, we conduct a thorough safety check and identify any secondary issues that may need attention later. We’ll provide recommendations for future tree care to help prevent more damage and schedule any necessary follow-up work.

    Throughout this process, we maintain clear communication with you, ensuring you understand what we're doing and why. We also document everything carefully for insurance purposes, taking photos and noting all work performed.

Protect Yourself During Tree Emergencies

Tree emergencies can create dangerous situations that require immediate professional attention. Before our crew arrives, follow these essential safety guidelines to protect yourself, your family, and your property.

  • Stay Away from Downed Power Lines: Assume all downed lines are energized and lethal. Keep at least 50 feet away and contact your utility company immediately at 540-416-5357.
  • Keep Your Distance: Damaged trees are unstable and unpredictable. Stay well away from leaning trees, hanging branches, and split trunks.
  • Secure the Area: Keep children and pets indoors. Move vehicles away from threatened areas if safe to do so.
  • Document but Don't Touch: Take photos for insurance purposes if possible, but don't approach or attempt to move damaged trees or branches.
  • Evacuate if Necessary: If a tree threatens your home's structural integrity, evacuate to a safe location until professionals assess the situation.
