24/7 Emergency Tree Service in Savannah, GA
When a tree fails at 2 a.m., you do not have time to compare quotes — you need someone to answer the phone and get a crew moving. We run 24/7 emergency dispatch across Savannah and Chatham County for exactly that.
Our first job on an emergency call is safety, not upselling. We triage on the phone: is anyone hurt, is a power line involved, is the tree still moving, can the crew get to it safely. Then we tell you what to do right now and what we will do when we arrive.
Active hazard? If a tree is on a structure or a power line, keep everyone clear, call your utility for any line, then call us at (208) 635-2100.
Call the Emergency Line When
- A tree or large limb is on your house, garage, vehicle, or fence
- A tree is down across the driveway, road, or your only way out
- A limb is hung up and hanging over where people walk or park
- A tree is leaning hard or its roots are lifting after a storm
- A trunk has split but not fully fallen
- Any tree involved with a power line — keep clear and call the utility first, then us
What's Included in Your Emergency Service
Every 24/7 emergency tree service job we quote spells out exactly what you get — no vague "tree work" line items. Here's what's covered:
- Round-the-clock dispatch with a real person answering, day or night, to log your emergency
- Phone triage to gauge immediate danger and tell you whether to evacuate the area or stay clear
- Rapid response for trees on homes, blocked driveways, and limbs hanging over occupied space
- Careful removal of hangers and broken limbs still loaded in the canopy above people
- Coordination with utility crews when lines are involved, so we work in the right sequence safely
- On-site scope and photo documentation you can hand straight to your insurance adjuster
How Our Emergency Service Process Works
- 1
Phone triage, day or night
We ask what failed, whether anyone is injured, and whether utilities are involved — and we tell you how to stay safe until the crew arrives. If a line is involved, you call the utility first.
- 2
Rapid dispatch
A storm-ready crew heads out with saws, rigging, and a bucket or crane as needed. Weather, road access, and storm volume affect timing, and we give you a realistic window, not a false promise.
- 3
Make it safe first
We stabilize or remove the immediate hazard — the limb over the bedroom, the tree blocking the exit — before anything else. Full cleanup can follow on a scheduled visit.
- 4
Document for your claim
We photograph the damage and the work and give you a written scope you can hand straight to your insurance adjuster.
What It Costs in the Savannah Area
Emergency work carries a premium over scheduled work because of the timing, the added risk, and the equipment we mobilize — that is normal in the trade. What is not normal is hiding it: we quote the emergency rate before we start, in writing where the situation allows.
What drives the price:
- Time of day and how fast the crew has to mobilize
- The hazard — a tree on a structure or line is more complex than one in the yard
- Equipment required: climbing and rigging versus a crane lift
- Storm backlog and whether utility coordination is needed
- How much stabilization versus full removal you authorize on the spot
Beware out-of-town storm chasers who show up after a hurricane with no local footprint. Ask anyone for proof of insurance before they touch your property.

Emergency Service FAQs — Savannah, GA
We dispatch 24/7 and move as fast as conditions allow. After a widespread storm, crews work down a triage list — active hazards to people and occupied structures come first. We give you an honest window when you call rather than a promise we can't keep in a backlog.
Stay far back and treat everything as energized — the tree, the fence, the ground around it — even if your power is out. Call your utility first to de-energize the line. Only after that can any tree work safely begin.
No. Do not climb, cut from a ladder, pull a hung-up limb with a vehicle, or walk under a suspended branch. A tree under tension can move violently when cut wrong. Photograph it from a safe spot and let a crew handle it.
Get everyone away from the tree and any downed or sagging limbs, indoors if possible. Never touch a tree contacting or near a power line, and assume every downed line is live. Don't walk under hangers; wind can drop them without warning. If it's safe, take photos from a distance for insurance, then wait clear until we arrive.
Yes, and that's often the right call. In the dark we focus on stabilizing the immediate hazard: removing what's over your house or blocking egress, cutting loaded limbs, and tarping if needed. Full removal, grinding, and cleanup are safer and more thorough in daylight. We'll explain what we secured tonight and what comes next.
Treat it as urgent. A hanger, or widowmaker, is a broken limb caught overhead that can drop the instant wind moves it, and they injure people every storm season. Stay out from under it and rope off the area if you can. Don't try to pull it down yourself; the loading is unpredictable and that's exactly what we're equipped for.
