What Qualifies as a Tree Emergency?
A fallen tree doesn’t always require immediate action — but some situations create safety risks that need prompt professional response.
True emergencies requiring immediate response:
- Trees that have fallen on homes, vehicles, or other structures
- Trees blocking driveways or access roads that prevent you from leaving your property
- Dangerous hanging branches or "widow makers" that could fall without warning
- Trees or limbs in contact with power lines (call your utility company first: Green Mountain Power, Burlington Electric, or VT Electric Co-op)
- Trees leaning precariously against other trees that could cause a chain reaction failure
Situations that need professional assessment but may not require immediate action:
- Trees that have fallen but aren't threatening structures or blocking access
- Storm-damaged trees that appear stable but need expert evaluation
- Large broken branches hanging in the canopy
- Trees with significant structural damage that increases future risk
If you're unsure whether your situation requires emergency service, we'll help you assess the urgency and determine the safest course of action. Some trees that appear catastrophic are actually in static positions and can wait a few days for proper removal — while others that look stable could fail at any moment.
Emergency Tree Services We Offer After Vermont Storms
Northwestern Vermont faces windstorms, ice damage, and heavy snow every year. We're equipped to handle it all:
Windstorm Cleanup
High winds — especially after recent rain has caused saturated soil — are the most common cause of tree failure in our area. We remove trees from structures, clear driveways and access roads, address dangerous hanging branches, and clean up scattered debris.
Ice Storm Recovery
Vermont ice storms can devastate tree canopies, snapping branches and splitting trunks under ice weight. We provide restoration pruning to help damaged trees develop new canopies, remove trees beyond saving, and evaluate which trees can recover.
Heavy Snow Damage Response
Heavy wet snow can break branches and bend trees, especially combined with ice. We remove broken limbs, assess structural damage, and clean up debris across your property.
Utility Line Coordination
We work safely around power infrastructure but never work near energized lines. If a tree has damaged your service drop or is in contact with power lines, we coordinate with your utility company to de-energize the line before beginning work.
