Emergency tree service
A tree on the house, on the lines or across the driveway. Call and we move fast, whatever the hour.
When a tree comes down on something
Wind, ice and wet snow bring trees and limbs down onto roofs, cars, fences and driveways every year in the Valley. When it happens, call. We will tell you honestly how fast we can get there and what to do in the meantime.
What we do on an emergency call
- Make the scene safe first: nothing cut until the load and the lean are understood
- Lift or section the tree off the structure, with a crane when the weight calls for it
- Tarp or point you to the right trades for the roof if it is damaged
- Clear the driveway and haul the debris, then come back for the stump and the rest when the rush is over
If a line is involved
If a tree is on a power line or a line is down, stay well back and call Hydro One or Hydro Ottawa first. We work with them once the line is made safe.
Before the storm
Most emergency calls come from trees that were showing signs beforehand: deadwood, a split crotch, a lean that got worse, fungus at the base. If something on your property worries you, have us look at it now. A planned removal costs less than an emergency one.

Questions about emergency tree service
How fast can you come?
It depends on where you are and what else is down after a storm. Call and we will give you a straight answer, not a promise we cannot keep.
Will insurance cover it?
Often, when a tree has damaged a structure. Take photos before anything is moved and call your insurer. We can give you the paperwork they ask for.
The tree is leaning but has not fallen. Is that an emergency?
If it is leaning at a house, a road or a place people walk, yes, call us the same day.
