A tree just fell. Do these three things.
Get everyone clear
Keep people and pets away from the tree — especially anything under tension. Limbs and root plates can shift without warning long after the fall.
Check for power lines
If the tree is touching any line, treat it as live. Stay far back and call 911 and Duke Energy first — no tree crew (including us) works energized lines.
Call us — day or night
No lines involved? (941) 830-5059. We'll talk you through it on the phone and get a crew moving.
If it can't wait until morning, it's an emergency.
-
Tree or limb on a structure — house, garage, shed, or vehicle. We remove the weight carefully to stop further crushing damage.
-
Blocked driveway or private road — you need to get to work, school, or a hospital. We cut and clear an opening fast, full cleanup after.
-
Hanging or cracked limbs — a "widow-maker" caught in the canopy over where your kids play is not a wait-and-see situation.
-
A new lean after heavy rain — when saturated clay lets a root plate lift, the tree is already falling, just slowly. Call before the wind finishes it.
Lee County storms have a track record. So do we.
This county has seen what weather can do — the April 2011 tornado that tore through Sanford, Fran in '96, Florence's flooding rains, and the straight-line winds that knock out a neighborhood's worth of pines on a random summer evening. After every one of those events, out-of-town "storm chaser" crews flood in, quote high, work fast and loose, and vanish.
We're the opposite of that. We live here. When a storm hits Lee County, our response time is measured in minutes of driving, not days of mobilization — and we'll still be here next month, standing behind the work, when your insurance adjuster has questions.
On that note: we document everything for your claim — photos of the damage before we touch it and an itemized invoice your adjuster can actually use. Most homeowner policies cover removal of a tree that falls on a structure; we'll make the paperwork side painless.
Answers for a bad night.
Do you really answer at 2 a.m.?
Yes. Emergency calls ring through 24/7, every day of the year. If a tree is on your house at 2 a.m., call — we'll assess the situation by phone immediately and respond based on safety and urgency.
Will my homeowner's insurance cover this?
In most cases, removal of a tree that has fallen on a covered structure is covered (a tree that falls harmlessly in the yard often isn't). Check your policy and call your insurer — and we'll supply the before-and-after photos and itemized invoice your adjuster needs.
The tree is tangled in power lines. Who do I call?
The utility — Duke Energy or your electric co-op — and 911 if there's immediate danger. No private tree crew works energized lines. Once the utility de-energizes or clears the lines, we handle everything else, and we can coordinate the timing with you.
A tree is leaning but hasn't fallen. Is that an emergency?
Treat it like one, especially if the lean is new, the ground at the base is cracked or mounded, or it leans toward anything you care about. After long rains our clay soils lose grip on root plates — a slow-motion fall is still a fall. Call and describe it; we'll tell you honestly how urgent it is.
What does emergency service cost?
It depends on what's involved — a limb off a roof is very different from a full oak through a ridgeline. We quote before we start, even at night, so there's no invoice surprise. Insurance often covers structure-related removals.
Storm passed, damage minor — get a standard estimate.
If the situation is stable — debris in the yard, a leaner far from the house — a regular free estimate works fine and costs less than an emergency callout. For anything threatening a structure, please just call.
