What Is Emergency Tree Removal?

Emergency tree removal is the immediate or same-day removal of a tree or major limb that poses an active threat to people, structures, or property. Unlike scheduled tree removal, emergency service is needed when a tree has already fallen, is actively failing, or creates an urgent safety hazard.

R & R Tree Service provides 24/7 emergency tree removal throughout Atlanta and Gwinnett County, GA. Our crew is licensed, fully insured, and equipped to handle downed trees on houses, blocked driveways, trees threatening power lines, and post-storm cleanup of any scale.

Emergency tree removal after storm damage in Atlanta

A tree just came down — what do you do first?

People first, power second, phone third. Get everyone away from the tree and anything it is touching. If a power line is involved — even one that looks dead — stay at least 30 feet back, assume it is live, and call Georgia Power at 1-888-891-0938 or 911 before anything else. Georgia Power's own safety guidance is blunt about it: never try to pull limbs or anything else off a downed line.

Once everyone is safe, photograph the damage before anything is moved — your insurer will want to see it as it fell. Then call us, day or night: R & R Tree Service has run 24/7 storm response across North Georgia since 1987, with our own crew and our own crane— no waiting on a subcontractor's schedule while a trunk sits on your roof.
