Tree Emergency Due to Storm
What to expect after a storm if your tree has damage and has caused property damage.
- Most efficient way to get immediate help is to fill out the emergency form on our website.
- An arborist will then be dispatched to your property to assess damage and provide a free estimate.
- Once you approve the bid submitted a crew will be dispatched to your home to complete the tree service.
- If for some reason you decide to cancel after you have approved the bid and a crew shows up to your home you will be billed 10% of the bid.
- We normally automatically haul off all debris after service is completed but when there is a storm the volume of waste limits where it can be hauled off. Instead we will neatly stack on the curb for city pick up. If you would like more info about debris haul off during storm emergencies please read our blog.
If you are unable to submit a request online or need further assistance please call us at 469-387-6000.

TEAMWORK
Our arborist and foremen work together to ensure work done on your trees is done correctly and safely. Our entire team; arborists, foremen, and groundsmen strictly follow TCIA and ISA guidelines.
RED OAK LIMB SECURED WITH LINE
A customer's red oak tree's limb failed and fell onto the homeowners steel carport. This large limb blocked the driveway and was hanging into the neighbors yard. Raul and his crew worked together to remove the limb safely and quickly without the aide of a crane. Cranes are sometimes used when trees are deemed too unsafe to climb. Issues with cranes is that they require a lost of space and increase the price of tree work.
ACCESSING DAMAGE
Understanding and evaluating weakness in the tree prior to doing emergency tree work is important to know because it will eliminate further risk to property and workers during the process. Trees with different defects need to be removed differently for safety. Our foremen have the expertise in determining if we can safely remove broken limbs or trees without a crane.
CLIMBING LINE & DRT
Safety for our climbers and your property is important to us at Texas Tree Surgeons. When damage has already incurred from limb failure it is important to mitigate further damage. Our climbers use climbing line (specially designed rope) and use DRT (Double Rope Technique) to help them move safely and support broken limbs so they can be safely lowered with control.
EXPERIENCED CLIMBERS
At Texas Tree Surgeons we specialize in working with experienced climbers that are able to make very specific controlled cuts to maintain safety and reduce damage. Most of our foremen have been with Texas Tree Surgeons for over a decade.
LOWERING LIMB WITH CONTROL
Our foremen Raul and his crew lowering a massive red oak limb that had fallen on top of a carport. To be able to lower the limb with control Raul secured the limb with rope, removed excess weight, and cut notches at the break point.
