Emergency Tree Service

A tree emergency is any situation involving trees that poses an immediate risk to people, property, or infrastructure. Common scenarios include:

• Trees or large branches that have fallen on houses, cars, or other structures
• Trees leaning precariously after severe weather events like storms or high winds
• Trees or branches interfering with power lines, posing electrical hazards
• Large hanging or broken branches that could fall at any moment, endangering passersby

At Luca Tree Service, we understand the urgency of these situations. That’s why we offer 24/7 emergency response services. In most cases, we can dispatch a fully equipped team to your location within shortime of your call, regardless of the time of day or night. Our rapid response helps minimize potential damage and ensures your safety as quickly as possible.

The cost of emergency tree removal can vary significantly depending on several factors:

• The size and location of the tree
• The complexity of the removal process (e.g., if the tree has fallen on a structure)
• The time of day or night the service is required
• Any additional services needed, such as stump grinding or debris removal

Due to these variables, we can’t provide a one-size-fits-all price. However, we always offer a free on-site assessment and provide a detailed quote before beginning any work. Despite the urgent nature of emergency services, we strive to maintain competitive and fair pricing.

Regarding insurance coverage, many homeowners’ insurance policies do cover emergency tree removal, especially if the tree has caused damage to insured structures on your property. However, coverage can vary widely between policies. We recommend taking the following steps:

1. Contact your insurance provider as soon as possible to understand your coverage.
2. Document the damage with photos and videos before any work begins.
3. Keep all receipts and documentation from the tree service.

While we can’t guarantee insurance coverage, we’re experienced in working with insurance companies and can provide all necessary documentation to support your claim.

Your safety is our top priority. While waiting for our team to arrive:

1. Keep everyone, including pets, away from the hazardous area.
2. If power lines are involved, contact your utility company immediately and do not approach the area under any circumstances.
3. If safe to do so, take photos or videos of the damage for insurance purposes.
4. Avoid attempting any tree removal or cleanup yourself, as this can be extremely dangerous without proper equipment and training.

When our team arrives, we take extensive safety precautions:

• Our technicians are all fully certified and trained in emergency response procedures.
• We use specialized equipment designed for safe and efficient tree removal, even in complex situations.
• We perform a thorough site assessment to identify and mitigate any potential risks before beginning work.
• Our team is covered by comprehensive insurance, providing you with peace of mind.

Throughout the removal process, we maintain clear communication with you and ensure that your property is protected from additional damage. After the emergency is resolved, we perform a complete cleanup, removing all debris and leaving your property in better condition than we found it.

Preventing tree emergencies is largely about proactive care and regular maintenance. Here are some steps you can take:

1. Schedule regular tree inspections: Having a certified arborist assess your trees annually can help identify potential issues before they become emergencies.
2. Maintain proper tree health: Regular pruning, fertilization, and disease management can keep your trees strong and resilient against storms and other stressors.
3. Remove dead or diseased trees: Trees that are already compromised pose a higher risk during severe weather and should be removed safely before they become hazardous.
4. Be mindful of new plantings: When adding new trees to your property, consider their mature size and placement to avoid future conflicts with structures or power lines.
