What To Do First When a Tree Falls
A fallen tree is frightening — but a few calm steps keep everyone safe until help arrives:
- Stay clear. Keep people and pets well away from the fallen tree and any cracked or leaning trees nearby — storm damage often comes in waves.
- Never touch power lines. If the tree is touching or near any lines, call 911 immediately. Treat every downed line as live, even if it looks harmless.
- Don't try to cut it yourself. Storm-fallen trees are under enormous tension and can spring, roll, or drop limbs without warning. This is the most dangerous tree work there is.
- Document the damage. If it's safe, take photos of the tree and any property damage before cleanup — your insurance company will want them.
- Send the form. Describe what happened and where the tree landed, and we'll dispatch a crew with the right equipment.
Winter Storms Are Our Busiest Season
Santa Clara County's winter atmospheric-river storms bring days of saturating rain followed by gusty winds — the exact combination that topples trees. Saturated soil loosens root systems while heavy, water-laden canopies catch the wind like sails. Eucalyptus (blue gums in particular) are notorious for suddenly dropping massive limbs, even in calm weather, and shallow-rooted pines go over in saturated soil. We clear fallen trees from homes, cars, driveways, and roofs; remove dangerously split or uprooted trees before they finish falling; and cut back storm-shattered limbs so the tree can recover.
Tree on a Structure
A tree through a roof or against a wall needs careful sectional removal so the damage isn't made worse during cleanup. We stabilize, cut, and clear methodically.
Blocked Driveway or Road
When a fallen tree has you trapped, speed matters. We cut a path and clear the obstruction fast, then handle the full cleanup.
Hazardous Limbs & Splits
Cracked trunks, hanging limbs, and partially uprooted trees are emergencies waiting to happen. We remove the hazard before the next gust finishes the job.
Rapid Response, Honest Pricing
Emergency calls jump the queue: we dispatch as soon as a crew is available and prioritize situations where a tree threatens a home or blocks access. Emergency work can cost more than scheduled service — after-hours dispatch and complex storm rigging take extra resources — but we'll always explain the price before any work begins. After the immediate hazard is cleared, follow-up work like stump grinding or full tree removal of the damaged tree gets a free on-site estimate like any scheduled job.
Insurance documentation: we provide detailed written descriptions of the damage and work performed, plus photos — exactly what most homeowners' insurance claims require. Keep your own photos too, and save our invoice with your claim paperwork.

Can you help with insurance documentation?
Yes. We provide detailed written descriptions of the damage and the work performed, plus photos, which most homeowners' insurance claims require. Document the damage with your own photos before cleanup if it's safe to do so.
