Not every tree problem is an emergency. Knowing the difference helps you decide whether to call right now or schedule a regular appointment. We treat the following as true emergencies and respond within hours, not days.
Tree on a house, garage, vehicle, or power line
Any tree or large limb resting on a structure, vehicle, or utility wire is an active hazard. Roof loads shift, branches torque, and contact with power lines is a life-safety issue. Call us, and if a tree is touching a Puget Sound Energy line, call PSE at 1-888-225-5773 first so they can de-energize before we cut.
Tree blocking a driveway, road, or emergency exit
A downed tree across your driveway or a road on your property prevents emergency vehicles from reaching you. We prioritize access work so you, your family, or first responders can get in and out.
Storm-damaged tree leaning toward a target
A tree that wasn’t leaning yesterday and is leaning today after a windstorm has likely lost root anchorage. Cracked soil heaves around the base, exposed roots on one side, or a fresh lean over a house, fence, or play area all warrant same-day assessment.
Hanging broken limbs (“widowmakers”) over a high-traffic area
Limbs that snapped but didn’t fall — caught in the canopy above a walkway, deck, or driveway — can drop without warning days after the storm that broke them. These get rope-down removal as a priority.
Split or cracked trunk on a mature tree
A vertical crack running up a Douglas fir, bigleaf maple, or western red cedar trunk means the tree has structurally failed. It may stand for hours or days, but it will come down. We assess and remove before it picks the time.
Our Response Time Across Snohomish & King County
We answer the phone 24/7 — including nights, weekends, and holidays. After-hours dispatch typically reaches Snohomish, Marysville, Lake Stevens, and Everett within 60–90 minutes. Bothell, Mill Creek, Mukilteo, and north Seattle are usually 90 minutes to two hours. Bellevue, Kirkland, Redmond, and the I-90 corridor run two to three hours depending on traffic and incident volume during a regional windstorm.
During a major storm event (the kind that knocks out power to 50,000+ households across the region), every reputable crew is overloaded. We triage by life-safety risk first: trees on occupied structures and trees on power lines move to the front of the queue.
What To Do Before Our Crew Arrives
Get people and pets away from the tree
Establish a perimeter at least 1.5 times the tree’s height. Damaged trees and limbs settle, shift, and drop unpredictably for hours after the initial damage.
Don’t try to cut it yourself
Storm-loaded trees are under spring tension that’s invisible from the ground. A chainsaw cut into a bent trunk can release energy that throws the saw, the cut piece, and the operator unpredictably. This is the most common cause of post-storm chainsaw injuries in Washington.
Document the damage for insurance
Take photos from multiple angles before any cleanup begins. Most homeowners’ policies cover tree removal when a tree damages a covered structure. Photos taken before our crew starts work give your adjuster what they need.
Stay clear of downed lines, always
Assume any wire on the ground or hanging low is energized. Power lines can re-energize without warning during restoration. Call PSE (1-888-225-5773) or Snohomish PUD (425-783-1001) before approaching.
