Start by keeping people clear.
If a tree threatens people, a building or a road, stay out of the affected area. Contact emergency services for immediate danger. Treat fallen or contacted power lines as energized and notify the utility; this estimate form is not an emergency dispatch service.
Describe what changed from a safe position.
Include whether the tree or branch is on the ground, resting on a structure or blocking access. Note any power lines or utilities without approaching them. Photos can help explain the request, but a provider must assess the site before choosing equipment and a removal method.
Separate urgent work from the final cleanup.
Ask what the first visit will address and what may require a later appointment. Branch removal, trunk removal, stump grinding and fence or roof repairs are different scopes. Keep written estimates and photographs for your records; coverage decisions belong to your insurer.
We only route urgent requests to providers that offer emergency tree services. Arrival times and current capacity must be confirmed directly; no 24/7 or same-day response is promised.
