Emergency tree service covers the immediate response to storm damage, fallen trees, and hazardous tree situations that threaten people, property, or access. In Southeast Michigan, severe thunderstorms, ice storms, and high-wind events can bring down mature trees without warning — blocking driveways, landing on roofs, and taking out power lines.

What types of emergencies do you handle?
Our crew responds to a wide range of storm and tree emergencies:
- Trees fallen on homes, garages, and outbuildings — careful removal to prevent additional structural damage
- Trees or limbs blocking driveways, roads, and sidewalks — cleared quickly to restore access
- Split or hanging limbs — dangling branches that could fall at any moment
- Trees leaning on power lines — coordinated with utility companies for safe removal
- Uprooted trees — root ball failures that leave trees at dangerous angles
- Ice storm damage — heavy ice loading that snaps branches and splits trunks
What happens when Michigan storms hit?
Southeast Michigan’s storm season typically runs from May through September, with severe thunderstorms, straight-line winds, and occasional tornadoes. Winter brings ice storms that can be equally destructive to the tree canopy.
During major storm events, we triage incoming calls by severity:
- Immediate hazards — trees on structures, blocked emergency access, trees on vehicles with people nearby
- Property damage — trees that have caused damage but are no longer actively threatening safety
- Access issues — blocked driveways and walkways that prevent normal use of the property
- Preventive removal — damaged trees that haven’t fallen yet but are likely to
What should you do after storm damage?
If a tree has fallen or is damaged on your property:
- Stay clear of the tree and any downed power lines — assume all downed lines are live
- Call your utility company if power lines are involved
- Call us at (734) 474-3336 — describe the situation so we can prioritize
- Document the damage with photos for your records
- Do not attempt to cut or move the tree yourself — storm-damaged trees are under tension and can shift unpredictably

How emergency storm response works
Call our 24/7 line
We answer day or night, storm or shine. Describe the situation so we can prioritize and dispatch the right crew and equipment.
Crew dispatched
We get a crew to your property as fast as conditions allow. During major storm events, we triage by severity — structural damage and safety hazards come first.
Hazard cleared
The crew removes the immediate threat — fallen trees off structures, hanging limbs, blocked driveways and roads. We stabilize the situation so your property is safe and accessible.
Full cleanup
Once the hazard is cleared, we handle complete debris removal — chipping, hauling, and site cleanup. If additional tree work is needed (full removal, stump grinding), we schedule it as a follow-up.
Emergency Storm Response FAQ
Do you respond 24/7?
Yes — we answer the phones 24/7 for storm damage, fallen trees, and hazard trees leaning on homes or vehicles. Call (734) 474-3336 anytime and we'll get you taken care of.
What qualifies as a tree emergency?
Any situation involving a fallen tree on a structure, vehicle, or roadway; a tree or large limb that has split and is hanging dangerously; a tree leaning on power lines; or any tree posing an immediate risk to people or property.
What should I do while waiting for the crew?
Stay away from the damaged tree and any downed power lines. If a tree has fallen on your house, do not enter rooms directly below the impact point. If power lines are involved, call your utility company first, then call us.
Do you remove trees that fell on houses?
Yes — removing trees from structures is one of our most common emergency calls. We use rigging, crane assistance when needed, and careful sectioning to remove the tree without causing additional damage to the structure.
What happens after the emergency is handled?
Once the immediate hazard is cleared, we can schedule follow-up work if needed — full tree removal, stump grinding, or damage assessment of remaining trees. We'll provide a separate quote for any additional work.
