Trees are an integral part of any home’s landscape, contributing to the aesthetics and ecology of the property. However, if one falls or is damaged, it can pose a serious safety hazard. Emergency tree removal isn’t something you can do yourself. It requires the expertise, equipment, and experience of a skilled tree and landscaping company. Even in times of an emergency, you do have options when it comes to service. 

Your Guide to Emergency Tree Removal 

Full Removal 

Tree and landscaping companies do their best to preserve viable trees whenever possible, but it’s sometimes necessary to remove one in its entirety. When a specialist arrives at your home, they’ll assess the situation and determine the best course of action. Obviously, if a tree has fallen onto your home or property, whether due to high winds, heavy rains, or harsh winter storms, it must be removed immediately. But one may also need to be removed if it has been severely damaged or diseased. If a professional determines the tree cannot be saved, they will remove it to prevent it from falling. 

Partial Removal 

Sometimes, a single limb may break in a storm or dangle perilously over your home. If this is the case, and the rest of the tree is in good condition, a professional may be able to remove only the offending branch. Also, keep in mind that insurance companies usually only cover the removal of the portion that poses a danger. 

Removing a Neighbor’s Tree 

If a neighbor’s tree falls, it could damage your property as well as theirs. However, even if part of their tree is leaning into your yard, you’ll need to discuss the matter with them before taking action. Send a certified letter to the neighbor if you believe their tree poses a danger to your landscape or home. If it falls and damages your property, you’ll need to present this letter as proof of your request when you file an insurance claim.
