What Constitutes a Tree Emergency?

A tree emergency occurs when a tree unexpectedly falls onto buildings, cars, or roadways, damaging property and blocking off access. Trees may also be considered emergencies when they’re imminent hazards due to weather conditions, uprooting, or structural defects and at high risk of damaging property and people.

To be budget-conscious, we can do the minimum amount of work to deem the area “safe” or “accessible” again and then reschedule the remaining work at our normal rates. We understand that some removals are urgent, but if the fallen tree is not causing harm and is not an emergency, consider getting the tree removed at normal rates to save costs.

Steps to Take in a Tree Emergency

Ensure Safety First:

  • Make sure you, your family, pets, and others are safe! Stay back from the fallen tree and any hanging branches to avoid potential hazards.

Block Off Hazardous Areas:

  • If it’s safe to do so, use caution tape, cones, or signs to block off the hazardous area to prevent further accidents.

If Needed, Call Emergency Services (911):

  • If the fallen tree has caused injuries, or has fallen onto power lines and caused fire or smoke, call 911 immediately.

If Needed, Call Your Utility Company:

  • The utility company is responsible for removing fallen trees or branches from public power lines. If you are the homeowner, you may be responsible for the mast, cables connecting the mast to the meter, and the connector to your house.

Document the Scene:

  • When it’s safe to do so, take photos of the fallen tree and any damage it caused. These photos will be valuable when filing an insurance claim.

Contact A Plus Tree:

  • Call us to have the fallen tree and branches removed safely and efficiently!

 FAQs About Emergency Tree Services

Our response time is 2-3 hours, depending on area, crew availability, and drive time.

We have multiple locations and operate in California, Oregon, Washington, and Utah. Some of the areas we serve include but aren’t limited:

Northern California: Bay Area, Sacramento, Fresno

Southern California: Los Angeles, Orange County, San Diego

Pacific Northwest: Seattle, Tacoma, Portland

Utah: Salt Lake City and County

We understand that losing a tree can be undesirable. If the tree isn’t too far gone and is a more resilient species, we may be able to save it with restoration pruning. Restoration pruning encourages the regrowth of healthy branches. Success highly depends on tree condition and species, so we recommend a professional arborist consultation before proceeding.

An emergency limb or tree removal cost depends on many factors, including where the tree or limb has fallen, how big it is, and how accessible it is to remove. For emergency work, we charge by the hour , including travel, and additional costs if specialized equipment is needed.

Testimonials from Satisfied Clients

The A plus tree team is awesome!

We had a big tree fall on Super Bowl Sunday late in the evening during the game. Rachelle responded promptly to the urgent call and had a team out first thing the next morning to deal with the situation.

Appreciate the whole team!

Trish Blair

We started using A-Plus recently and are very happy with their results. We have an HOA with many trees we care for so it’s imperative we have a good team. Andre and the crew were fabulous, responsive and friendly to work with. We just had a trash truck take out a tree today, A-Plus responded and got here within 4 hours to fell the tree as it was unsafe. Great job. We look forward to our continued relationship.

I had a tree fall in my driveway and block me from getting out. I had an important appointment to get to. A Plus Tree Service was there in an astoundingly short amount of time. They were courteous, calm, and very professional. The best part: I was out of my driveway in 13 minutes. I made it to my appointment. I highly recommend them; they have outstanding service, and work quickly.

Paula S.

We had a 50 ft dead pine tree that was at risk of falling onto our house.. We called these guys in and they had the entire tree with the stump removed in 2 hours. What other company can you find where almost every one of their employees are certified arborists? They’re professional, knowledgeable, straight forward, and fast.

Phil H.

Totally agree with the other reviews. Had a large tree at my rental that had split in half and fallen, leaning into the neighbors yard! From the moment I called, the team at A+ Tree was ultra-responsive, and made me feel like they appreciated the urgency I had at getting this taken care of. Was able to set a removal appointment very quickly, and the workers that showed up were just as quality as the rest of my experience. They were friendly, careful, and did an amazing job (in a reasonable amount of time!). I am SO glad I was referred to you guys–and will definitely be passing your name along to anyone in need! Thank you A+ Tree!!! Would use again..A+
