​About Our Emergency Tree Removal Services:  We offer same-day emergency tree removal and storm damage service for trees that are presenting a hazard and must be removed immediately.  Call (412) 522-0630 to inquire about these services.  When a storm hits, you may wonder if your property will ever look the same again.  With our prompt and reliable service, we can assess the damage and offer a restoration plan.  During heavy call volumes for emergencies due to storms or hurricane, service will be performed on first-come, first-serve basis.  Call us right away to let us know about the services needed and we will be able to assist.

​How much does tree removal cost?:  Tree removal costs depend on the size and location of the tree(s).  As you may have guessed, larger trees cost more to remove as they require more time, manpower and equipment to remove.  We will provide an accurate cost for services by sending one of our tree experts to inspect the trees and offer solutions for your needs.  

What to do if a tree has fallen on property, building or power lines?:  If a tree has fallen on the home, it is important to evacuate the home, call 911 and call the electric company if power lines are down.  Having power lines down around the property creates a hazardous situation with increase of fire or electric shock so it's important to steer clear of these areas.  Signs a power line is down are flickering lights or no power at all.  

How to prepare for tree removal:  There are a few things you can do to prepare for tree removal to be done quickly & safely by our team.  It's important to move all vehicles away from the area to make room for the tree service vehicles when they arrive.  The tree service workers will be moving back and forth between the trucks and the location of the tree(s) on the property.  Clear away any furniture or breakable items such as pots, plants and canopies.  Children are not permitted by work areas when services are being performed.  The area must be clear of all animals.  Following these safety measures will prevent hazards or injury and enable us to complete service within the scheduled timeframe.

It is fascinating to observe tree removal from a safe distance.  It's amazing to watch a tree climber ascend a giant oak or pine tree especially for those who start to feel woozy just thinking about heights!  Before you know it, through a series of strategic cuts, the tree come down in sections, stumps removed and it's done!  We understand how difficult it may be to let go of a tree that many generations have enjoyed on your property too - we get attached to them and it's sad to have to cut them down.  The bright side is, that you can always plant new trees in honor of the old to enrich the landscape.  As much as we love them, safety must always come first.  Tree removal must be performed by experienced professionals and we will ensure each job is done right and safety is our first priority.
