When a storm brings a tree down
24/7 emergency tree service
A tree on the roof or across the drive is frightening. A few steps keep everyone safe until the crew arrives.
- Keep everyone clear of the tree and anything it is resting on.
- Stay away from any wire it touches, and call the power company about the lines.
- Take photos for your insurance before anything is moved.
- Then call us, and we make it safe first, take it down and clean up.
Which tree service do you need?
Each service has its own page with the details, how the work goes and the questions people ask most.
Remove, trim or grind?
| What you see | What it usually needs |
|---|---|
| Healthy, but in the way of the roof, the drive or the light | Usually needs: Trimming: deadwood out, low limbs raised, the crown thinned |
| Dead, split or leaning hard | Usually needs: Removal, in sections where it stands near the house |
| Already down after a storm | Usually needs: Removal and cleanup, made safe first |
| An old stump left in the lawn | Usually needs: Stump grinding below grade |
| A lot lost to brush and saplings | Usually needs: Land clearing, keeping the trees worth saving |
Why two trees the same height can cost differently
Height is only part of it: lean, what sits underneath and how the crew reaches the tree change the job more.
- The tree
- Its height, its spread and the condition of the wood set how much work it takes.
- Where it stands
- A tree over a house, a pool or a fence needs more rigging than one in an open yard.
- Getting to it
- Equipment that can drive up to the tree speeds things up; a fenced backyard means more work by hand.
- The risk
- Storm-damaged and dead trees are unpredictable, so they are taken apart in smaller, slower pieces.
Signs a tree is in trouble
Tree problems usually build slowly, so it pays to look up now and then. Have a tree checked when it starts to lean or leans further after a storm, when large dead branches hang in the crown, or when a deep crack opens in the trunk where it carries the most weight.
Rot hides too. A hollow in the trunk, wood that crumbles under a thumb, or mushrooms and shelf-like conks around the base all point to decay you cannot see. Branches touching the roof are a slower problem: wind drags them across the shingles and the leaves pack the gutters.
Often a trim fixes it; sometimes the tree has to come down. We have a certified arborist on staff, and at the estimate we walk you through which one yours needs.
Tree permits, emergencies and the wood
Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Kernersville?
Rules vary from lot to lot. An HOA, a tree save area set aside when the neighborhood was built or a stream buffer can restrict removal, so check with your HOA and the Town of Kernersville before the work is scheduled.
Do you handle tree emergencies after hours?
Yes, our emergency tree service runs 24/7. Call as soon as a tree is on the house, across the driveway or hanging over a walkway, and keep everyone clear of it and of any wires it has brought down.
What happens to the wood?
Wood and brush are chipped or hauled away and the yard is raked before we leave. If you would rather keep some logs for the fire pit, say so up front and the estimate notes which pieces stay.
