24/7 Emergency Tree Service in Middletown, Ohio

A tree emergency is anything where waiting makes it more dangerous: a tree or large limb on your house, garage, or vehicle; a trunk blocking your only way in or out; a limb hanging over a spot where people walk or kids play; or a tree that's been uprooted and is leaning on another tree or a structure.

If a tree or limb is touching a power line, treat it as an emergency and call the utility first — never approach it yourself.

First, get everyone to a safe part of the house or outside if the structure feels compromised, and stay away from any downed or sagging wires. If wires are involved, call your utility and 911 before anything else.

Once you're safe, take photos of the damage for your insurance before anything is moved. Then call us — we'll tell you honestly whether it's a right-now response or something that can safely wait for a standard appointment, and we can tarp an open roof to stop further water damage.

Often, but not always — and we can't speak for your policy, so check with your insurer. As a general pattern, many policies cover removal when a tree strikes a covered structure like your house, garage, or fence, and sometimes there's a per-tree cap. A tree that simply falls in the yard without hitting anything is frequently not covered.

Either way, we document the scene and the work and provide the paperwork your adjuster needs to process the claim.

No — and neither should anyone else without the utility's involvement. A tree touching a power line can energize the whole tree and the ground around it. Call your electric utility (and 911 if a line is down across a road or yard) — de-energizing and clearing lines is their job. Once the utility has made it safe, we can come in and handle the tree work.

We prioritize by danger — trees on occupied homes and blocked exits come first. During a widespread storm, when half the county calls at once, response naturally takes longer than on a normal day, and we'll give you an honest time estimate when you call rather than a promise we can't keep. If your situation involves live wires or a compromised structure, tell the dispatcher so we can triage it correctly.

This isn't legal advice, but the general rule in Ohio is that damage from a healthy tree brought down by a storm is treated as an act of nature, and each property owner's own insurance handles the damage on their side of the line — including cleanup of the part that landed on your property.

It can shift if the tree was already dead or clearly hazardous and the owner was warned and did nothing, which may make them negligent. When in doubt, document everything and talk to both insurers. We'll remove the tree and provide whatever documentation the claims need.
