Emergency Tree Service

Whenever a tree fails — onto a roof at three in the morning, around a driveway after a hailstorm, or onto a power line throughout an ice event — Southlake Tree Services responds. Our twenty-four-hour emergency service covers the DFW metroplex for storm damage, structural failures, hanging limbs, and all tree-related event that threatens occupants or home. North Texas experiences five to seven significant severe-weather events per year on average — straight-line winds exceeding seventy miles per hour, large hail, occasional tornadoes, and winter ice events that load canopies beyond their structural capacity. The post oaks ubiquitous to this region carry shallow root plates and uproot initial when saturated soils combine with high winds. Bradford pears, planted aggressively in DFW subdivisions throughout the 1990s and early 2000s, split apart with notorious reliability under wind and ice loading. Cedar elms accumulate interior deadwood that becomes airborne throughout severe weather. Our emergency crews carry chainsaws, complete rigging kits, and portable lighting and operate in all weather conditions, date or night. When a downed tree involves utility infrastructure we coordinate directly with Oncor ahead of initiating project. Whenever a tree is on a structure we provide comprehensive documentation — photographs, measurements, written incident reports — directly to the homeowner's insurance adjuster. The primary priority is securing the scene; comprehensive restoration follows once the immediate hazard is addressed.
