Emergency Storm Damage Tree Service, Rivers Edge Tree and Lawn Services

24/7 Emergency Storm Damage Tree Service

Storms don't wait for business hours, and neither do we. When a tree falls on your house, blocks your driveway, or threatens power lines, you need help now—not Monday morning. We respond to emergency tree situations 24/7 across Davenport, Bettendorf, Rock Island, Moline, East Moline, and Eldridge. Last summer, we got a call at 3 a.m. after straight-line winds knocked a 50-foot oak onto a house in Rock Island. The tree punched through the roof and blocked two exits. We arrived within 45 minutes, secured the area, removed the tree in sections to prevent further damage, and covered the exposed roof with tarps. The homeowner and family were safe, and insurance adjusters could assess the damage the next day. We've handled dozens of emergency situations like this across the Quad Cities—tornadic damage, ice storms, fallen trees on vehicles. When you call (563) 320-1948, we answer and we show up fast.

Our Emergency Storm Damage Tree Service Service Includes:

Trees on Structures

When a tree falls on your house, garage, or shed, every minute counts. We respond immediately to assess the situation, stabilize the structure if possible, and remove the tree in sections to prevent additional damage. We work carefully to lift or cut the tree away from the structure, clear debris, and secure the area until repairs can begin.

Blocked Driveways and Roads

Trees blocking your driveway trap you at home or prevent you from getting back in. Trees across roads create hazards for entire neighborhoods. We clear blocked driveways and roads quickly, cutting fallen trees into sections, removing debris, and restoring access. We prioritize these calls because access matters in emergencies.

Hanging Branches and Widow Makers

Storm-damaged branches hanging in trees—called widow makers—are deadly. They fall without warning, injuring people and damaging property. We identify and remove hanging branches safely using bucket truck access and rigging systems. This service prevents injuries and additional property damage after storms pass through the area.

Our Simple 3-STEP Emergency Storm Damage Tree Service PROCESS

1

Immediate Response and Assessment

You call (563) 320-1948, explain the emergency, and we dispatch a crew immediately. We arrive as quickly as possible—often within an hour depending on location and weather conditions. We assess the situation, identify hazards, and develop a plan to remove the tree safely without causing additional damage.

2

Safe Emergency Removal

We work methodically even in emergencies. Using bucket trucks, chainsaws, and rigging equipment, we remove the tree in sections, starting with branches and working down to the trunk. If the tree is on a structure, we stabilize and lift sections carefully to prevent further damage. Safety is never compromised, even when working fast.

3

Debris Removal and Site Securing

We clear all debris from the immediate area, remove branches and trunk sections, and secure the site. If the tree damaged your roof, we can tarp exposed areas to prevent water damage until contractors arrive. Your property is safe and accessible when we leave.

Frequently Asked Questions

Got Questions? We’ve Got Answers!

How fast do you respond to emergency tree calls?

We respond to emergency calls 24/7 and typically arrive within 1–2 hours depending on location, weather conditions, and the number of other emergencies happening simultaneously. Major storm events create high demand, but we prioritize calls where trees are on structures or blocking critical access. Call (563) 320-1948 immediately when emergencies happen.

Do you charge extra for emergency tree removal at night or weekends?

Emergency tree removal often costs more than scheduled work because it requires immediate response, night work, and working in dangerous conditions. The exact cost depends on the situation, tree size, and complexity. We provide pricing information over the phone before dispatching a crew so you understand costs upfront.

Will you remove a tree that's fallen on my house?

Yes. Trees on structures are our highest priority emergency calls. We remove trees from houses, garages, sheds, and vehicles carefully to prevent additional damage. We use rigging systems to lift or lower sections away from the structure, working methodically to protect your property while clearing the tree completely.

Can you help secure my property after storm damage?

Yes. After removing fallen trees, we can tarp damaged roofs, clear debris from critical areas, and secure the site to prevent additional damage or injuries. We work with insurance adjusters regularly and can document damage for claims. Our goal is to make your property safe and protected until permanent repairs begin.

Do you work during active storms or do I need to wait?

We don't work during active severe weather with lightning, high winds, or tornadic conditions because it's unsafe for our crew. Once storms pass and conditions allow safe work, we respond immediately. If you have an emergency during active weather, call us anyway—we'll dispatch as soon as it's safe to do so.
