If a tree is on power lines or your home’s electrical mast, or anyone is hurt: call 911 and your utility first, and stay well clear — treat every downed wire as live. Then call Tree Easy for the tree.
Storms in northern Utah don’t give notice. A wet spring snow, a hard canyon wind, or a already-weak root system can put a tree through a roof or across your driveway in seconds. When that happens, Tree Easy handles the dangerous part — safely getting the tree off your property.
Emergencies we handle
- Trees down on a house, garage, or fence — carefully removed in pieces to limit further damage.
- Hanging or hung-up limbs — “widowmakers” caught in the canopy, brought down under control.
- Split or partially uprooted trees — unstable trees that could come the rest of the way down at any time.
- Blocked driveways and access — trunks and debris cleared so you can get in and out.
- Storm cleanup — hauling off the wreckage after the wind moves on.
What to do while you wait
- Keep people and pets away from the tree and anything it’s leaning on or tangled with.
- Assume any wire near the tree is live — don’t touch the tree or approach the lines.
- If it’s safe, take photos from a distance for your insurance before anything is moved.
- Don’t try to cut a limb that’s under tension or hung up overhead — that’s how people get hurt.
Why call a professional for storm work
Storm-damaged trees are the most dangerous ones to work on. Limbs are under load, trunks are split and unpredictable, and there’s often a roof, a car, or a power line in the mix. This is exactly the wrong time for a ladder and a chainsaw. Tree Easy is fully licensed and insured and does controlled removals for a living — we know how to release tension safely and lower a damaged tree without making the damage worse.
Once the emergency is handled, a stump or a second at-risk tree may still need attention. See tree removal and stump grinding for the follow-up work.
