We answer 24/7 and dispatch as quickly as possible, with same-day response available across MA & NH. Call us the moment it's safe to do so and we'll get moving.

Will my insurance cover it?

Often yes — if a storm-toppled tree damages an insured structure. Document everything with photos before cleanup. See our homeowners insurance guide for details.

Is a leaning tree dangerous?

A tree that starts leaning after a storm is a warning sign of structural failure and can fall without notice. Keep clear of it and call us for an assessment right away.

"A very large tree fell on our shed. John came right out for an estimate — patient and informative, and the best quote compared to three other companies. Watching the crews remove the tree was better than a movie. They cleaned up the smallest debris; our yard looked better than before they came."

Storm Damage, Downed Trees & Insurance

Severe weather is the number-one cause of tree emergencies in New England — high winds snap limbs and uproot trees, saturated ground loosens root systems, and the weight of snow and ice splits trunks. When it happens, the priority is safety: stay clear of any tree resting on a roof or tangled in lines, and let a licensed crew handle it.

When it comes to who pays, it usually comes down to what the tree hit. Homeowners insurance often covers removal when a storm-damaged tree lands on an insured structure like your home, garage, or fence — but a healthy tree that simply falls on an open lawn typically isn't covered. Photograph the damage before any cleanup begins.

The Six Ways Storm Damage Makes Trees Fail

Severe weather is the number-one cause of tree emergencies in New England. Knowing how storms compromise a tree helps you spot the danger before it becomes a disaster:

✓Wind damage — strong gusts break branches, split trunks, or uproot trees entirely, sending large limbs onto homes and vehicles.
✓Heavy rain — saturated ground loosens root systems, leaving even healthy trees prone to uprooting.
✓Snow & ice — the added weight bends and snaps branches or brings whole limbs down.
✓Lightning — strikes can split a tree, damage its vascular system, or leave hidden internal weakness.
✓Splitting & cracking — wind plus rain or snow forces trunks to split and branches to crack under pressure.
✓Uprooted or leaning trees — a tree that starts leaning after a storm is a sign of structural failure and can fall at any time.

Who Is Responsible for a Downed Tree?

After a tree comes down, responsibility usually depends on where it landed:

✓Your property — if a tree falls in your yard or on your roof, your homeowner's insurance typically covers removal after your deductible.
✓A neighbor's property — if your tree falls onto a neighbor's property in a storm, their insurance usually handles their side, and vice versa. (Neglecting a known dead or diseased tree can change that.)
✓Public roads & sidewalks — trees blocking public streets, sidewalks, or utility lines are handled by the municipality, public works, or the utility company.

Immediate safety steps

✓Check for power lines first — treat every downed line as live. Call 911 and your electric provider if lines are involved.
✓Stay clear of structures — don't approach a tree resting on a roof or leaning dangerously; the structure may be compromised.
✓Watch for tension — fallen branches and root plates can spring back or roll unexpectedly once cut. Leave that to the crew.

Emergency Tree Removal — Frequently Asked Questions

What is considered emergency tree removal?

Emergency tree removal is required when a tree poses an immediate, severe threat to life, property, or infrastructure. That includes trees that have partially uprooted, split, or are dangerously leaning toward structures or power lines after a storm; trees contacting or tangled in electrical lines; and trees or large limbs blocking driveways, roadways, or emergency-vehicle access. If it can't safely wait for a scheduled appointment, it's an emergency.

How fast can you respond to a tree emergency?

We answer 24/7 and dispatch as quickly as possible, with same-day response available across Massachusetts and New Hampshire. Storm events can create heavy demand, but urgent, high-risk situations are prioritized. Call us the moment it's safe to do so and we'll get a crew moving.

Does homeowners insurance cover tree removal after a storm?

It usually depends on what the tree damaged. Insurance typically covers removal when a tree falls due to a covered peril — like high winds, lightning, or heavy snow — and damages an insured structure such as your home, garage, shed, or fence. It may also cover removal if the tree blocks a driveway or accessibility ramp. A healthy tree that simply falls on an open lawn without hitting a structure generally isn't covered. Always document the damage with photos before cleanup begins, and see our homeowners insurance guide for details.

Who is responsible for removing a downed tree?

You're responsible for trees that fall entirely within your own yard. If a healthy tree falls onto a neighbor's property in a storm, their insurance usually handles their side (and yours handles yours) — though neglecting a known dead or diseased tree can shift liability. Municipalities, public works departments, or utility companies handle trees blocking public roads, sidewalks, or tangled in public power lines.

Is a leaning tree dangerous after a storm?

Yes. A tree that begins leaning after a storm is showing a sign of structural failure and can fall without warning. New soil heaving or exposed roots on one side make it more urgent still. Keep everyone well clear of the tree and the direction it's leaning, and call for a professional assessment right away.

What should I do if a tree falls on a power line?

Treat every downed line as live and dangerous. Call 911 and your electric provider immediately, keep everyone far clear, and never approach or try to move a tree touching or tangled in electrical lines. A professional tree service coordinates with the utility company before removing a tree involved with public power lines.
