Emergency Tree Situations We Handle Locally
Rapid Tree Removal After Storms
When strong winds or heavy rain hit Hilliard, downed trees are often one of the first signs of trouble. Whether a tree falls across your driveway in Hoffman Farms or crashes into your roof near Scioto Darby, our team responds quickly and gets to work. We assess the damage, remove the tree safely, and ensure no further risk to your property.
Our 24/7 availability means you’re never left waiting—no matter what time the emergency happens.
Full Storm Damage Cleanup
Hilliard’s unpredictable weather can leave behind dangerous debris. We provide complete storm cleanup services, from removing snapped branches in front yards to clearing uprooted trees in back alleys. After a storm, we restore order to your property—removing all tree-related hazards and hauling away debris.
We often work with homeowners near Roger A. Reynolds Park, Alton Darby, and other areas where large trees line residential streets and yards.
Hazardous Tree Removal Before It Collapses
Not every tree emergency starts with a fall. In neighborhoods like Britton Farms or Ridgewood Estates, we often get calls about trees leaning toward homes, cracking at the base, or showing signs of decay after storms. These trees may not have fallen yet—but they’re at serious risk of doing so.
We specialize in identifying unstable trees and removing them before disaster strikes. We help prevent damage to fences, rooftops, and driveways with fast, proactive service.
Emergency Tree Cutting and Trimming
Sometimes, a full removal isn’t necessary—but immediate action still is. A split limb hanging over your deck or a cracked branch above your carport is still a threat. In these cases, we provide emergency cutting and trimming to eliminate the danger quickly.
We serve all Hilliard neighborhoods and understand how to navigate tight residential areas where low-clearance or small yards can complicate the work.
Equipped for Every Emergency
Hilliard’s mature trees are beautiful, but they can be tough to manage—especially when space is tight. That’s why we bring specialized equipment to every job. From backyard-friendly spider lifts to full-size cranes, we can handle emergencies in driveways, small yards, or tree-lined streets without causing extra damage to your lawn or property.
Our crews are experienced, insured, and trained to operate safely around homes, power lines, and busy suburban areas.
Preventive Tree Risk Assessments for Hilliard Homeowners
Many tree emergencies are avoidable with regular inspections. We offer preventive tree risk assessments throughout Hilliard to help residents spot weak limbs, early signs of disease, or shifting root systems. Whether you live near the Heritage Rail Trail or in the newer developments west of I-270, we can help you stay ahead of potential issues before a storm makes them worse.
From preventive pruning to scheduled removals, we’ll give you honest recommendations to keep your yard safe long before a tree becomes a problem.

Common Emergency Tree Removal Questions in Hilliard, OH
What should I do first if a tree falls on my house?
Make sure everyone is safe and move away from the damaged area. Then call us immediately at (614) 778-3359. If there are downed power lines, contact your utility provider before doing anything else. We’ll take care of the rest.
How fast can you respond in an emergency?
In most cases, we arrive within hours—often sooner if you’re located in Hilliard or nearby. We prioritize emergencies and have a crew ready 24/7.
Will you remove the tree the same day?
Yes, if conditions are safe. In many cases, we can perform full removal and cleanup during our first visit. If not, we stabilize the tree and return shortly to complete the job.
Do I need to be there for emergency service?
Ideally yes, but not always. If you’re away, we can coordinate with a neighbor or access the site if it’s safe and permitted. We’ll document everything and communicate with you in real time.
What if the tree is near power lines?
We’re trained to handle trees near utility lines and coordinate with local utility providers when necessary. Never try to remove or approach a tree near live wires.
Can I file an insurance claim for tree damage?
In many cases, yes—especially if the tree caused damage to a structure. We’ll provide written documentation, photos, and a service breakdown to help with your claim.
Is emergency removal more expensive?
Emergency rates may be slightly higher than standard service due to urgency and off-hour labor, but we always provide upfront pricing and transparent estimates—no surprise charges.
