We’ve compiled the most frequently asked questions about emergency tree removal in Sonoma County, CA to help you stay safe, informed, and ready.

- Trees or limbs that have fallen on your home, car, or driveway
- Trees leaning dangerously after a storm
- Damaged trees near power lines
- Cracked or split tree trunks after high winds
Even if you aren’t sure whether it’s urgent, give us a call. We’ll assess the situation and respond accordingly, often same-day.
Are You Licensed and Insured?
Absolutely. We are fully licensed, insured, and bonded. Our crew is also Cal OSHA-certified for power line clearance, which is critical in emergency situations involving live wires. Safety is never an afterthought, it’s built into everything we do.
