For a tree on your house, a limb across the driveway or a trunk split in a storm, call (772) 247-8193 any hour. We secure it, cut it off in controlled pieces and clear it away. Typical costs run $300–$1,200 for a limb blocking a drive and $1,500–$5,000 for a tree lifted off a roof.
What to do in the first hour
- Get everyone clear of the rooms under the tree and the area around it.
- Look for wires. If anything is touching a power line, stay back and call FPL first. Treat every downed wire as live.
- Take photos of the tree and the damage from a safe distance, before anything is moved.
- Call us and tell us what it's resting on and whether you can get in and out of the property.
If there's a hole in the roof, we can usually get the weight off first so a roofer or tarp crew can get to it.
How we take the weight off safely
A fallen tree is rarely lying flat. It's usually propped on its own limbs, wedged against the gutter line, or still attached to a split stump. Each of those holds stored energy. We work out where the load sits before the first cut, tie off the pieces that could roll, and take it apart from the top of the pile down. On heavy trees over a house, a crane lifts sections clear so nothing more lands on the roof.
After a hurricane
When a named storm comes through the Treasure Coast, calls come in faster than any crew can answer. We work in order of danger: trees on occupied homes, then trees blocking the only way in or out, then hanging limbs, then cleanup. Martin County runs separate curbside debris pickup after big storms. We'll stack what can go to the curb and haul what can't.
Before the season, the best defense is a pre-storm trim and taking down trees that are already failing with tree removal.
Emergency service prices
| Situation | Estimated price | What moves it |
|---|---|---|
| Limb or small tree across a driveway | $300–$1,200 | Size, and whether it is hung up on anything |
| Tree on a roof, cut and lifted off | $1,500–$5,000 | Crane or rigging, what it's resting on, time of day |
| Hanging limb made safe | $300–$1,200 | Height and how it is caught |
| Debris cleanup after the danger is gone | Quoted on site | Volume, and what's already been cut |
Emergency prices vary more than anything else we do. These ranges are estimates. We'll give you a price before we start, even at 2 a.m.
Everyday pricing is on the price guide.
Storm damage questions
Should I try to cut a tree off my roof myself?
Please don't. A tree resting on a roof is often loaded like a spring, and cutting the wrong piece can roll it or drop it through the ceiling. Get people out of the rooms below, keep clear, and call.
Will my insurance pay for tree removal?
When a tree damages a covered structure such as the house, a fence or a pool cage, most homeowner policies pay toward removing it, up to a limit. A tree that falls in the yard without hitting anything often isn't covered. We take photos before and during the work and give you an itemized invoice to send to your insurer.
A tree is touching the power line. What do I do?
Stay well back, keep others away, and call FPL to report it. Nobody should touch the tree or the line. Once the utility has made it safe, we can deal with the rest of the tree.
Do you charge more at night or on weekends?
Emergency work outside normal hours costs more because it takes an on-call crew and lights. We'll tell you the price on the phone or on arrival, before we start.
