Attention business owners. If a tree is blocking access to your business or making an unsafe situation for your customers and employees, contact us for immediate removal.
Before you call anybody, including us.
We would rather tell you straight than sell you an after hours call you do not need.
Call now for a tree on a house, garage, barn or vehicle, a tree or limb blocking a drive, a road or the entrance to a business, a broken limb hung up in the canopy over a walkway or a deck, a tree uprooted and leaning on another tree or a structure, or a trunk that has split with the tree still standing.
This can wait for a scheduled visit: a dead tree standing well away from anything it could hit, small branches down in the yard, a tree that has leaned the same amount for years, or storm debris with nothing structural involved. Those go on a normal free estimate for tree removal in Lexington, KY.
Ice, January and February. Accumulated ice adds enormous weight to a canopy. Bradford pear, silver maple and honey locust tend to break first because of how they are built.
Spring line storms. Straight line winds hit a fully leafed canopy like a sail. Dense, unthinned crowns take the worst of it, which is the argument for crown thinning before the season rather than after.
Saturated ground plus wind. The combination that uproots otherwise healthy trees. Days of rain followed by a windy afternoon is when whole root plates lift.
Summer limb drop. Large shade trees occasionally drop a heavy limb on a hot, still day with no storm at all. It is as unsettling as it sounds and it is a known phenomenon.
Storm work is not ordinary removal. The tree is already loaded in directions it was never built for, so the crew relieves that tension in stages rather than cutting the obvious piece first. Where a tree is resting on a structure the priority is getting the weight off safely and making the site secure. Full cleanup and any remaining stump grinding can follow on a scheduled visit once the emergency is over.
Homeowner policies commonly cover the cost of removing a tree that has struck a covered structure, and commonly do not cover a tree that simply blew down in the yard with nothing under it. Your policy is the one that matters, so read it or call your agent. We can give you a written invoice describing the work and the damage clearly enough for a claim, and hold off on anything beyond making the site safe until your adjuster has seen it.
