When to Call for Emergency Tree Service
1. Tree Fallen on Your Home or Fence
A tree or large limb on your roof, garage, or fence means structural damage that needs immediate stabilization. Don't wait for it to shift — call us and we'll get a crew out same-day to safely remove it and prevent further damage to your property.
2. Split Trunk or Hanging Limbs
A cracked trunk or large limb that's split but hasn't fallen yet is unpredictable and dangerous. These can come down at any moment without warning. We'll stabilize or remove the hazard before it falls on its own — potentially onto your home, car, or family.
3. Trees on Power Lines
If a tree has fallen into power lines, stay far away and call your utility company first, then call us. We coordinate with utility crews regularly and will remove the tree safely once lines are de-energized. Never attempt to clear a tree from power lines yourself.
What to Expect When You Call
Step 1: You Call, We Answer
No automated phone trees, no "leave a message and we'll get back to you." You'll talk to a real person who understands the urgency. Call 512-265-0861 any day of the week, 7 AM to 11:30 PM.
Step 2: We Assess & Dispatch
We'll ask a few quick questions: what happened, where the tree landed, whether power lines are involved. If you can safely send photos, that helps us prepare the right equipment. For true emergencies, we mobilize same-day.
Step 3: Crew Arrives & Handles It
Our crews show up with chainsaws, rigging gear, cranes when necessary, and the experience to work around structures without causing additional damage. Your dedicated arborist oversees every decision on site.
Step 4: Full Cleanup, No Surprises
We don't just cut and leave. We remove all debris, clean the area, and walk through the site with you before calling the job done. We'll also give you an honest assessment of any remaining tree risks on your property while we're there.

Frequently Asked Questions - Emergency Tree Service
How fast can you respond to an emergency?
For active emergencies (tree on structure, blocking access, involving power lines), we typically dispatch same-day. Response times vary by location — Georgetown and Leander are fastest since we're headquartered nearby. Call 512-265-0861 and we'll give you an honest timeline.Common signs include leaves turning brown or bronze (often with dark veins visible in live oak leaves) and rapid leaf drop from the upper canopy. If your oak is wilting and shedding leaves suddenly outside of the normal fall season, oak wilt could be the cause. It's still best to schedule a free consult with a Tree Scouts expert to assess the trees and provide you with a diagnosis.
How much does emergency tree removal cost?
Emergency tree removal typically ranges from $800 to $5,000+ depending on the size of the tree, where it fell, and what equipment is needed. We always provide a quote before starting work — even in emergencies. No surprise invoices.Immediately. Oak wilt moves fast, so have an infected oak treated as soon as it’s confirmed. The earlier the fungicide injection is done, the better the chances of saving the tree and protecting nearby oaks.
Will my homeowners insurance cover emergency tree removal?
In some cases, yes, especially if the tree damaged a structure (home, fence, shed, vehicle). Insurance typically covers removal of the tree from the structure plus any repairs. We provide detailed documentation and photos to support your claim.
Do you handle trees on power lines?
We coordinate with utility companies on trees involving power lines. We'll help you contact the right utility provider and work alongside their crews once the lines are de-energized. Never attempt to clear a tree from power lines yourself.
