When You Need
Someone Now
Trees do not wait for business hours to fall. They come down at midnight during a nor’easter, on Thanksgiving morning when ice loads the branches, or on a random Tuesday when a dead oak finally gives up. When it happens, you need someone who picks up the phone and shows up with the right equipment — not a voicemail box and a callback in 24-48 hours.
I have been running emergency calls in Middlesex County since 1995. I have pulled trees off roofs at 3 AM, cleared roads before the morning commute, and cut up oaks that split a house in half. Every situation is different, but the response is always the same: answer the phone, get the crew moving, make the property safe first, then do the full job. No panic, no shortcuts.
We carry the equipment for any emergency — from chainsaws and chippers for straightforward fallen trees to crane-assisted removal for trees on houses or tangled in power lines. We coordinate with Eversource for utility line situations and provide complete insurance documentation for every job.

What It
Costs
$500 – $5,000+ — depending on tree size, what it fell on, and equipment required.
Small to medium tree on a driveway or yard: $500–$1,200. Medium tree on a fence, shed, or vehicle: $800–$1,500. Large tree on a house or requiring crane assistance: $1,500–$5,000+. We do not inflate prices during storms or emergencies.
We do not charge extra for nights, weekends, or holidays. Emergency response is part of what we do, not a premium add-on. The same crew doing the same work gets the same pricing year-round.

FAQ
How fast can you respond to a tree emergency?
For true emergencies — tree on a house, blocking emergency access, threatening life — we are typically on-site within 1 hour across our 18-town service area. Towns closest to our Billerica base like Chelmsford, Tewksbury, and Wilmington are often under 30 minutes. During major storm events with high call volume, we triage by severity and respond to life-safety situations first.
How much does emergency tree removal cost?
Emergency tree removal typically costs $500-$5,000+ depending on tree size, what it fell on, and the complexity of the situation. Small to medium tree on a driveway: $500-$1,200. Large tree on a house requiring crane: $1,500-$5,000+. We do not charge extra for nights, weekends, or holidays.
Do you charge extra for nights and weekends?
No. Emergency response is part of what we do, not a premium add-on. Emergency work does cost 25-50% more than scheduled removals due to hazardous conditions and after-hours mobilization, but we do not add surcharges for the time of day or day of the week.
Does insurance cover emergency tree removal?
Usually yes, when the tree damages a covered structure (house, garage, fence, vehicle). Most Massachusetts homeowner policies cover $500-$1,000 per tree for removal. We provide insurance-ready documentation with before-and-after photos and itemized invoices for every emergency job.
What should I do if a tree falls on my house?
First, make sure everyone is safe and evacuate if structural damage is severe. If power lines are involved, call Eversource at 1-800-592-2000 and stay away — assume all downed wires are live. Call your insurance company to start a claim. Then call us at (978) 375-2272. Do not try to remove the tree yourself.
