Our Process for Emergency Situations

When you call us for an emergency, our priority is immediate assessment and safety. We'll dispatch a team as quickly as possible to your location. Upon arrival, our experts will rapidly assess the situation, identify immediate threats, and devise a safe, efficient plan to remove the hazardous tree or debris.

When to Call for Emergency Tree Service

It’s not always obvious if a situation warrants an emergency call, but it’s always better to be safe than sorry. You should definitely call for emergency service if a tree or large branch has fallen on your house, car, or other structures. If a tree is blocking your driveway or a public road, or if it has fallen onto power lines (NEVER approach downed lines yourself!), it's an emergency. Even a severely cracked or uprooted tree that's leaning precariously and could fall at any moment constitutes an urgent call. We serve clients across Amherst and nearby towns like Hadley and Pelham.


What to Do Before We Arrive

While waiting for our emergency team, your safety is paramount. First, ensure everyone is away from the affected area and any downed power lines. If a tree has fallen on your home, call 911 if there’s a risk of structural collapse, gas leaks, or injuries. Do not attempt to move large branches or climb on damaged property yourself. Take photos if it’s safe to do so, for insurance purposes. Turn off utilities if there’s a risk of damage. Stay calm, keep a safe distance, and let the professionals handle the hazardous situation when we arrive.


  • Ensure Personal Safety: Keep family and pets away from the danger zone.
  • Avoid Downed Power Lines: Assume all downed lines are live and extremely dangerous.
  • Call Emergency Services: Dial 911 if there's structural damage, gas leaks, or injuries.
  • Document the Damage: Take photos (from a safe distance) for insurance claims.
  • Stay Clear: Do not attempt to move or cut fallen trees or branches yourself.
  • Secure the Area: If possible and safe, block off access to the hazardous zone.
