A 70-foot pine just split in half and crashed through your roof during a midnight thunderstorm. A massive oak limb is hanging by a thread over your driveway. A storm uprooted a tree and it is leaning against your power lines. These are the calls we take at 2 AM, on weekends, and on holidays — because tree emergencies do not wait for business hours. Our certified arborist crew responds fast with the heavy equipment, technical skill, and insurance coverage to handle the most dangerous tree situations in Alpharetta safely.
For fastest response, call us directly. Use this form for non-immediate emergencies.
Not every fallen branch is an emergency. But when a tree threatens a structure, blocks access, or poses an immediate safety risk, you need a crew that can respond within hours — not days.
Alpharetta sits in one of Georgia's most storm-active corridors. Severe thunderstorms roll through North Fulton County from April through October, bringing straight-line winds that exceed 60 mph, heavy downpours that saturate clay soils, and occasional microbursts that can flatten a stand of loblolly pines in seconds. When these storms hit neighborhoods like Windward, Cambridge, and Crabapple — areas with dense, mature tree canopy — the results can be devastating.
A tree on a house is the most urgent situation we handle. The weight of a fallen tree continues to press on the roof structure, and every hour of delay risks further collapse — especially if rain is entering through the breach. We arrive with chainsaws, rigging gear, a bucket truck, and tarps. We remove the tree in controlled sections, beginning with the portions that are creating the most structural load, then tarp the exposed area to stop water intrusion until permanent repairs are made.
Hanging limbs — partially broken branches still attached to the tree — are nearly as dangerous. They can drop without warning and weigh hundreds of pounds. A hanging limb over a driveway, sidewalk, or play area is an active threat to anyone who walks beneath it. We stabilize and remove these limbs before they fall on their own terms.
| Situation | Priority | Response Time |
|---|---|---|
| Tree on occupied structure | 🔴 Critical | 1–2 hours |
| Tree on power lines | 🔴 Critical | Utility + 2 hrs |
| Hanging limb over walkway | 🟠 High | 2–4 hours |
| Tree on vehicle | 🟠 High | 2–4 hours |
| Blocked driveway/road | 🟡 Moderate | 4–8 hours |
| Split trunk (stable) | 🟡 Moderate | Same day |
| Leaning tree (no contact) | 🔵 Urgent | 24–48 hours |
| Storm debris cleanup | 🔵 Scheduled | 1–3 days |
Emergency tree work demands the right equipment, the right training, and the right response. Here is what we deploy.
Bucket trucks, cranes, log trucks, and industrial chippers — all maintained and ready to deploy on short notice. We do not rent equipment and wait for delivery. It is ours, it is maintained, and it rolls when the call comes in.
Our emergency response crew operates outside normal business hours. Nights, weekends, holidays — when a tree falls, someone answers the phone. Not a voicemail. Not a service. A person who dispatches a crew.
General liability and workers compensation coverage on every emergency job. When we are working on your damaged property at 3 AM, you need to know that any secondary damage is covered. We provide certificates before work begins.
We photograph and document all damage — before, during, and after removal. We provide detailed invoices with descriptions of work performed that your insurance adjuster can process efficiently. We have helped hundreds of Alpharetta homeowners file successful claims.
After removing a tree from a structure, we tarp all exposed openings with heavy-duty tarps secured against wind and rain. This prevents secondary water damage until your roofing contractor can make permanent repairs.
Trees on power lines require coordination with Georgia Power. We contact the utility company, wait for de-energization confirmation, then remove the tree safely. We handle the entire process so you do not have to navigate it during a crisis.
Many tree companies advertise 24/7 service but send you to voicemail after 5 PM. Our emergency line is staffed around the clock. When a tree crashes through your living room in the middle of the night, you talk to a real person who dispatches help immediately.

Get everyone away from the affected area. Call 911 if there is immediate danger. Then call us at (770) 610-3123. Do not try to remove the tree yourself — shifting weight can cause additional collapse.
For active emergencies — trees on structures, blocked roads, threatening safety — we aim for 2 to 4 hours across Alpharetta, Roswell, Johns Creek, and Milton. During major storms, we triage by severity.
