Emergency Tree Services We Provide
When Disaster Strikes, We Respond
Tree emergencies don't wait for business hours. When a storm knocks down a tree on your home, when dangerous branches hang precariously over your roof, or when a tree blocks your only access to the road, you need help fast. As a dedicated tree service professional in Laredo, I prioritize emergency calls and provide the rapid, reliable response you need to protect your family and property.
My Emergency Response Commitment
When you call with a tree emergency, you reach me directly—not an answering service or call center. I answer emergency calls personally, even after hours and on weekends. For life-threatening situations or severe property damage, I prioritize getting to your location as quickly as safely possible, typically within 2-4 hours during daylight and storms permitting. My response time depends on current weather conditions, my location when you call, and the severity of other ongoing emergencies, but your safety is always my top priority.
What Qualifies as a Tree Emergency?
Not every tree problem requires emergency service, and I'll always be honest about whether your situation needs immediate attention or can wait for regular business hours. True emergencies include trees or large branches that have fallen on structures, vehicles, or power lines; trees leaning dangerously and likely to fall imminently; hanging branches (widow makers) that pose immediate risk; blocked driveways or roads preventing access; and storm-damaged trees threatening additional damage. For urgent but non-life-threatening issues, I can often schedule next-day service at regular rates.
Emergency Service Process
When I arrive at your emergency, safety comes first. I immediately assess the situation for hazards like downed power lines, unstable trees, or structural damage. If power lines are involved, I ensure the utility company has been contacted and the scene is safe before proceeding. My initial priority is stabilization and hazard mitigation—removing immediate threats and securing the area. Complete cleanup can often follow during regular business hours, allowing me to focus on emergency response when you need it most. Throughout the process, I maintain clear communication about what I'm doing and what to expect next.
Working With Insurance
Many tree emergencies involve insurance claims. I've worked with virtually every major insurance company and understand what documentation they need. I can provide detailed written estimates, take photographs for your claim, separate emergency mitigation from full removal costs if needed, and work directly with adjusters when appropriate. Having experienced help can make the insurance process much smoother during an already stressful situation.
Emergency Pricing Transparency
I understand that emergencies create financial stress on top of everything else. While emergency tree service naturally costs more than scheduled work due to the after-hours nature and priority response, I'm committed to fair pricing. Emergency rates reflect the immediate availability, potential after-hours work, priority over scheduled jobs, and often more hazardous working conditions. However, I never price-gouge during disasters—my rates are consistent with industry standards for emergency tree work. When possible, I'll discuss options to minimize costs, such as scheduling non-urgent cleanup for regular hours after initial hazard mitigation.
Prevention and Preparation
The best emergency is the one that never happens. Regular tree maintenance, including trimming dead branches, removing hazardous trees before they fall, and proper pruning for storm resistance, can prevent many emergencies. If you have trees that concern you, I'm happy to provide a free assessment and recommendations—helping you avoid future emergencies is far better than dealing with one at 2 AM during a thunderstorm.

Non-life-threatening issues can often be scheduled for next-day service.
Should I call you or the power company first if a tree hits power lines?
Always call your power company first if trees are touching power lines. They'll dispatch utility crews to disconnect power safely. Once the utility company confirms the scene is safe or disconnects power, call me for tree removal. Never approach trees touching power lines—they can be deadly.
Will insurance cover emergency tree removal?
Most homeowner insurance policies cover emergency tree removal if the tree damages a structure. Coverage varies by policy, so contact your insurance company first. I can provide detailed documentation, photographs, and written estimates for your claim, and I've worked with all major insurance companies.
