What to do in the first 30 minutes
A storm-damaged tree can stay under tension long after the wind stops. Work through these steps before you touch anything — then call us and we'll triage the hazard by phone, 24/7.
- 1
Get everyone clear
Move people and pets well beyond the branch spread. Never climb, cut, drive under, or pull a storm-damaged tree — it can be under tension long after the wind stops.
- 2
Report utility hazards first
If a limb touches a power line, call the utility before anyone approaches. A line can stay energized even when your power is out.
- 3
Document from a safe distance
Photograph the whole tree, the failure point, and any damage to the roof, fence, or vehicles. Note the date and time for your insurer — wide shots first.
- 4
Protect only what's safe to reach
A tarp over an exposed opening is fine if you don't step into the danger zone. Everything else waits for the crew.

Call Your Tree Expert
Give us the address, access details, and hazards. We answer 24/7, triage by phone, and dispatch fast across Metro Atlanta.
Know the risks
Warning signs your tree needs a closer look
Atlanta's water oaks, loblolly pines, and red-clay soil hide problems until a storm exposes them. Spot any of these? Book a hazard assessment before the next thunderstorm.
A lean that's getting worse, with soil cracking or heaving at the base
Large dead limbs or a dead top — more than half the crown bare in spring
Mushrooms, conks, or soft, crumbling wood at the root flare or trunk
A hollow, cavity, or deep vertical crack running up the main stem
Roots cut or crushed by recent driveway, trenching, or construction work
Repeated limb drop over a driveway, roof, or walkway

A line-item plan: method, equipment, protection, permits, cleanup, stump depth, and price. You approve before we start.
- 3
Safe, controlled work
ANSI Z133 rigging, crane where needed, and turf and driveway protection. If conditions change, we stop and explain first.
- 4

What our neighbors say
“A storm dropped a huge water oak against our roofline overnight. They answered at 2 a.m., triaged it over the phone, and had a crane crew out to lower it safely without a scratch on the house. Cleanest emergency job I could imagine.”
Marcus T.
Buckhead, Atlanta · Emergency Tree Removal
“Two loblolly pines were leaning toward the driveway on our sloped lot. The arborist explained exactly why they were a risk, handled the permit paperwork, and ground the stumps below grade. Honest, tidy, and fairly priced.”
Danielle R.
Sandy Springs · Tree Removal
“Filed everything I needed for my insurance claim after a limb came through the garage — photos, a written scope, the works. The adjuster approved it without a fight. Couldn't have navigated that without them.”
Greg P.
Marietta · Insurance Claim Assistance
“Beautiful crown thinning on two century-old oaks in our historic district. They knew the city canopy rules cold and left the yard spotless. The trees look healthier and let a lot more light in.”
Aisha K.
Decatur · Tree Trimming & Pruning
“Cleared a back lot full of storm-damaged brush and dead pines before a build. On time, upfront quote, no surprises. They protected the lawn with matting where the equipment rolled through.”
Tom H.
Roswell · Lot & Land Clearing
“A hanging limb was dangling over the kids' play area. They came the same day, removed it, and did a full safety check on the rest of the tree. Reassuring to deal with a crew that clearly follows real safety standards.”
Priya N.
