Emergency Tree Removal in Minnetonka

Immediate Professional Response

Emergency tree services address urgent situations where trees pose immediate risks to people or property. Unlike routine maintenance, these services require rapid response and skilled techniques to mitigate dangers and prevent catastrophic damage.

Our certified arborists and emergency response crews are equipped with specialized equipment and expertise to safely handle hazardous tree situations, often working in challenging conditions after storms or severe weather events.

Storm Damage

High winds, lightning strikes, ice storms, or heavy snow causing trees to fall, split, or lose large limbs. Minnesota storms can cause catastrophic tree damage in minutes.

• • Fallen trees on structures
• • Split trunks from lightning
• • Ice-laden branch failure

Fallen or Unstable Trees

Trees that have already fallen onto structures, vehicles, or blocked access routes. Also includes severely leaning trees with compromised root systems.

• • Trees on homes or buildings
• • Blocked driveways or roads
• • Uprooted trees leaning dangerously

Hazardous Limbs

Large broken branches still attached to trees but hanging precariously. These "widow makers" can fall at any moment, posing significant danger.

• • Cracked branches over structures
• • Hanging limbs above walkways
• • Storm-damaged canopy

Power Line Threats

Trees or limbs that have fallen onto or are dangerously close to power lines. Never approach these situations - professional coordination with utility companies is essential.

• • Trees on electrical lines
• • Branches touching wires
• • Fire hazards from contact

Property Damage

Trees actively damaging buildings, crushing roofs, breaking through walls, or threatening structural integrity. Immediate removal prevents further damage.

• • Trees through roofs
• • Foundation threats
• • Vehicle damage

Sudden Tree Failure

Trees showing sudden signs of imminent failure - major cracks, sudden leaning, or root plate lifting. These require immediate assessment and action.

• • Fresh trunk cracks
• • Soil heaving at roots
• • Sudden crown tilt

Life Safety First

Fallen trees and unstable limbs can cause severe injuries or fatalities. Professional removal eliminates these immediate threats to protect your family and neighbors.

Prevent Further Damage

A tree on your roof can cause extensive water damage if not removed quickly. Swift action minimizes secondary damage and reduces repair costs.

Restore Access

Fallen trees blocking driveways or roads prevent emergency vehicles from reaching you. We clear access routes quickly to ensure help can arrive when needed.

Electrical Safety

Trees on power lines create fire and electrocution risks. Our crews coordinate with utility companies to safely address these extremely dangerous situations.
