Our Emergency Tree Services

Storm Damage Tree Removal

High winds and saturated soil can uproot even healthy trees. Our rapid-response team secures the scene, performs controlled dismantling, and coordinates with Dominion Energy when lines are involved. We document every step for your insurance adjuster—making storm damage tree removal less stressful.

Fallen Tree Removal

Whether an oak crashed onto your fence in Rosewood or a sweetgum limb blocked Gervais Street, we cut, section, and haul the debris the same day so you can get back to normal life—and normal traffic flow. Our fallen tree removal crews even rebuild minor fence sections so pets stay safe.

Dangerous Tree Removal

Split trunks, hanging limbs, and decayed root systems are ticking time bombs. We use resistograph testing and aerial inspection to confirm the risk, then remove the hazard before Columbia’s next severe thunderstorm arrives. When decay or cracks threaten the stability of an otherwise beloved oak, our dangerous tree removal specialists work limb by limb, lowering sections with load-cell rigging to protect nearby flowerbeds and historic brick patios.

Frequently Asked Questions About Emergency Services

What is considered a tree emergency?

Any situation where a tree or large limb has fallen—or is at immediate risk of falling onto a home, power line, roadway, or people—counts as an emergency and calls for rapid, professional removal.

What should I do right now before calling a professional?

Stay clear of the hazard, keep others away, and if utility lines are involved, call 911 or the power company first. Then snap a few photos (for insurance) and give our 24/7 hotline a call.

What are the warning signs that a healthy-looking tree might actually be an emergency waiting to happen during the next windstorm?

Watch for fresh cracks in the trunk, soil heaving around the base, mushrooms or decay at ground level, and branches suddenly losing leaves out of season—these red flags signal hidden structural problems that need an arborist’s eye.
