STORM + HAZARD TREE SERVICE

Broken. Hanging. Split. Uprooted. Start with the hazard.

Storm-damaged trees are routed differently from routine pruning because the first question is whether people, structures, vehicles, or access areas are exposed to an immediate hazard.

FIRST: KEEP PEOPLE CLEAR

If a tree or limb is touching or threatening utility lines, stay clear and contact the utility or appropriate emergency service. Do not approach suspended limbs, partially failed trees, or energized lines to take photos.

Structure Impact

Tree or large limb on a roof, garage, fence, vehicle, or occupied area.

Suspended Failure

Broken limbs or tops hanging in the canopy or partially supported by another tree.

Root / Trunk Failure

Uprooting, sudden lean, trunk split, or major structural change after weather.

WHAT HELPS US TRIAGE THE CALL

Address • whether anyone is in immediate danger • what the tree is contacting or threatening • whether utility lines are nearby • whether access is blocked • photos only when they can be taken safely from a distance.

ROUTINE CONCERN, NOT AN EMERGENCY?

Cracks, cavities, dead branches, lean, root changes, or canopy decline can be routed through the tree-risk assessment page when there is no immediate failure.
