What Qualifies as an Emergency Tree Situation?
Not all tree issues require urgent removal. However, some signs indicate you must act immediately:
A tree has fallen on a house, vehicle, or structure
A tree is cracked, leaning, or showing root upheaval
Large limbs have broken off and pose a danger
Trees are blocking access roads or driveways
Trees have made contact with power lines (call 911 first)
Common Causes of Tree Emergencies
At Artmire’s Forestry, we often respond to emergency calls triggered by:
Storm Damage
High winds, lightning, and heavy rain can snap limbs or topple entire trees.
Diseased or Dying Trees
Weak internal structures cause trees to collapse without warning.
Poor Maintenance
Lack of pruning or inspection may lead to unnoticed decay or instability.
Construction and Soil Compaction
Tree roots may become weak if the soil is disturbed, increasing the risk of collapse.
Why Immediate Action Is Critical
Emergency tree removal is not something to postpone. Delays can lead to:
Property damage costing thousands in repairs
Injury or death if limbs fall on people or pets
Road blockages that prevent emergency services from reaching your home
Further complications if power lines are involved
