Emergency Tree Removal Utah

Call, Don't Text, for Emergencies

For regular quotes we love a texted photo. For an emergency — a tree on your house, a limb through a window, a trunk blocking your driveway — call (801) 747-9875. A phone call gets you to the front of the line and lets us talk through safety right away.

Canyon Wind Storms Along the Wasatch Front

Downslope east winds roar out of the canyons several times a year, often gusting 70–100 mph in Davis County and the east bench. Fast-growing cottonwoods, Siberian elms and silver maples take the worst of it — whole trees uproot in saturated soil and big limbs snap at weak unions.

Split Leaders & Cracked Trunks

Trees with two competing trunks (co-dominant leaders) often split right down the middle in wind. A split tree is under heavy tension and can fail completely without warning. We assess whether it can be saved with pruning or needs to come down.

Trees on Roofs, Fences & Cars

We remove fallen trees in controlled sections with rigging so we don't add damage to your roof, fence or vehicle. Once the weight is off, we cut, chip and haul the debris and can tarp exposed areas until your roofer arrives.

Hangers: Broken Limbs Caught in the Canopy

A hanger is a broken limb stuck in the tree above. They can fall at any moment, so keep people and pets out from under them. We bring hangers down first before any other cleanup.

Priority Scheduling

Emergency calls jump ahead of regular jobs, triaged by danger: trees on occupied homes and blocked access first, then fences and cars, then yard cleanup. For non-urgent storm cleanup, see our tree removal service.

Insurance Claim Photos

We photograph the damage before, during and after removal and provide an itemized invoice you can submit to your insurer. If you can do so safely, take your own photos before we arrive too.

What Affects Emergency Tree Service Prices?

Emergency jobs are priced on site once we can see the damage. Every number before then is an estimate, not a quote.

Where the tree landed

A tree on a roof or car needs careful sectional removal and rigging, which takes more time than one lying in the yard.

Tree size

Large cottonwoods and elms take more crew time and equipment than smaller trees.

Hazards

Hangers, split trunks under tension and nearby lines slow the work for safety.

Access

Backyard-only access or a blocked driveway adds time.

Timing

After-hours and peak storm-day response can affect pricing — we'll tell you before we start.

Cleanup scope

Full chip-and-haul vs. leaving firewood rounds changes the final price.

Prices shown are typical ranges, not quotes. Your final price depends on size, access and site conditions and is confirmed in writing before any work begins.

Frequently Asked Questions About Emergency Tree Service

Call. Texting a photo is great for regular quotes, but in an emergency a phone call reaches us fastest and lets us ask the safety questions right away. If you can't get through, leave a voicemail and we'll call back as soon as possible.

Emergency calls — trees on houses, cars or blocking access — get priority scheduling ahead of regular work. After a big canyon wind event demand is heavy, so we triage by danger first. We'll give you an honest arrival window when you call.

Keep everyone away from the tree, hanging limbs and any downed wires. If a power line is involved, call Rocky Mountain Power first — we can't work near energized lines. Take photos from a safe distance for your insurance claim.

Many policies cover removing a tree that fell on a covered structure like your house or fence, but coverage varies. We take before, during and after photos and provide an itemized invoice you can submit with your claim. Check with your insurance company about your specific policy.

A hanger is a broken limb caught up in the canopy that hasn't fallen yet. It can drop without warning, especially in wind, so stay out from under it. We bring hangers down in a controlled way before any other cleanup.
