Availability depends on weather and how many active calls we have, so calling is always faster than email or a form.

Before anything else: keep people clear

If a tree or limb is touching or near a power line, stay well back and call your utility provider or 911 first. Never cut near energised lines, and do not stand under a damaged tree to take a closer look. Once the site is safe to work, we take it from there.

What counts as emergency tree work

Tree or large limb down on a roof, fence or car
Storm-damaged tree still standing but split or cracked
Uprooted or badly leaning tree after heavy rain
Hangers and broken limbs stuck in the canopy
Tree blocking a driveway, alley or access point
Dead tree shedding limbs onto a walkway or parking area

How we handle storm damage calls

1You call and describe itTell us what is down, what it is resting on, and whether anyone or anything is still at risk.
2We make it safe firstThe priority is relieving the load and removing the immediate danger, not perfect pruning. Finishing work is scheduled once the emergency is handled.
3Debris is clearedBrush and trunk wood are cut, loaded and hauled off so your yard and driveway are usable again.
4We assess the rest of the treeIf the remaining tree is a risk, you get a straight answer and an estimate for the follow-up work.

Storm season in San Antonio

Between spring thunderstorms, summer drought stress and the occasional hard freeze, local trees take a beating. Mature oaks carry a lot of weight in the canopy, and saturated ground makes root failure more likely. If a limb has moved, a trunk has shifted, or you can see a crack after a storm, treat it as urgent rather than waiting to see what happens.

For non-urgent work — deadwood removal, roof clearance, thinning to reduce wind sail — a regular appointment with a free estimate is the better route.

Emergency questions

Are you available 24 hours?

Call and we will tell you honestly how soon we can be there. Response time depends on the weather, call volume and how far outside the core service area you are.

Do I need to move my car?

If you can do it safely, yes — keep vehicles, patio furniture and anything loose clear of the tree and the drop zone.

Will insurance cover the removal?

That depends on your policy and the cause. Your insurance company can answer coverage questions — we can provide documentation of the work performed.

Not urgent, but needed soon?
