When Tree Emergencies Strike, We’re Here to Help
Tree emergencies don’t wait for business hours. When storms hit the Florida Gulf Coast or dangerous trees threaten your property, you need a reliable, licensed tree service that responds quickly and handles the situation safely. Andrew’s Tree Care provides 24/7 emergency tree services throughout Clearwater, Palm Harbor, Dunedin, Tampa, and surrounding areas in Pinellas, Pasco, and Hillsborough counties.
As a family-owned and operated business, we understand how stressful tree emergencies can be. That’s why Kelly handles all customer communications with the care and attention you deserve, while Andrew and our experienced team safely resolve your emergency with professional equipment and proven expertise.
What Is Emergency Tree Service?
Emergency tree service addresses urgent situations where trees pose immediate danger to people, property, or public safety. Unlike routine tree maintenance, emergency services require immediate response and specialized equipment to safely remove fallen trees, hanging branches, or storm-damaged trees that could cause further damage.
Our 24/7 emergency tree service includes immediate assessment of the situation, safe removal of dangerous trees or branches, debris cleanup, and property protection measures. We arrive equipped with chainsaws, cranes, stump grinders, and safety equipment needed to handle any emergency tree situation safely and efficiently.
Problems Our Emergency Tree Service Solves
Trees Fallen on Homes or Structures
When trees fall on your house, garage, or other buildings, every minute counts. Our team safely removes fallen trees while minimizing additional damage to your property. We coordinate with insurance companies and provide documentation needed for claims.
Blocked Driveways and Roads
Fallen trees blocking access to your home or business create safety hazards and prevent emergency vehicles from reaching your property. We quickly clear roadways and driveways to restore safe access.
Hanging or Partially Fallen Trees
Perhaps the most dangerous situation is a tree that’s partially fallen or has large hanging branches. These “widow makers” can fall without warning, causing serious injury or property damage. We safely remove these hazardous trees using specialized rigging techniques.
Power Line Interference
Trees touching or threatening power lines create electrocution risks and power outages. While we cannot work on active power lines, we coordinate with utility companies and safely remove trees once power is disconnected.
Storm Damage Cleanup
Florida’s severe weather regularly brings down trees across the region. Our storm damage cleanup service removes fallen trees, broken branches, and debris while protecting your lawn and landscaping from further damage.

How to Know When You Need Emergency Tree Service
Recognizing when you need emergency tree service can prevent injuries and minimize property damage. Here are clear indicators that require immediate professional attention:
Immediate Emergency Situations
- Trees fallen on homes, vehicles, or structures
- Trees blocking roads, driveways, or emergency access routes
- Large branches hanging precariously after storms
- Trees leaning against power lines or utility poles
- Trees split or cracked but still standing
- Multiple trees down across your property
Urgent Safety Concerns
- Dead trees near homes, driveways, or gathering areas
- Trees with large dead branches (widow makers) overhead
- Trees showing signs of root failure or lean after storms
- Damaged trees threatening neighboring properties
- Trees compromised by lightning strikes
Storm-Related Damage Assessment
After severe weather, inspect your property for:
- Trees with exposed or damaged root systems
- Branches broken but not yet fallen
- Trees listing or leaning more than before the storm
- Soil erosion around tree bases
- Cracks in tree trunks or major branches
When to Call vs. When to Wait
Call immediately if trees threaten immediate safety or are causing active damage. Schedule urgent service for hazardous trees that aren’t actively causing damage but pose clear risks. Plan routine removal for trees showing decline but not immediate danger.
Don’t attempt to remove emergency trees yourself – fallen trees are under tremendous tension and can cause serious injury when cut improperly.
