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:

  1. Storm Damage

    • High winds, lightning, and heavy rain can snap limbs or topple entire trees.

  2. Diseased or Dying Trees

    • Weak internal structures cause trees to collapse without warning.

  3. Poor Maintenance

    • Lack of pruning or inspection may lead to unnoticed decay or instability.

  4. 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
