Storm Damage & Fallen Tree Removal

We'll Quickly Get Things Back To Normal

Whether it's due to a hurricane, tornado, summer thunderstorm, or another unexpected event, fallen and broken trees can put everything on hold until they're safely removed.

Storm cleanup is definitely not a DIY job. Leaning, split, uprooted, and otherwise damaged trees are under enormous stresses that make them react in highly unpredictable - and extremely dangerous - ways. Please, do NOT attempt to cut down or remove a storm-damaged tree yourself!

Fallen & Hazardous Tree Removal

When trees fall or sustain massive damage from a storm, they become exceptionally unstable. Often, they cannot be removed without heavy equipment and skilled equipment operators who can safely manoeuver the tree parts away from your home.

When a tree falls on a house or other structure, a car, or on a sidewalk, driveway or road, it needs to be removed quickly. Whether it's on private property, a public roadway, commercial property, or within an HOA, the ISA Certified Arborists at Riverbend will swiftly clear the tree away so you can regain access and begin any necessary repairs.

Hazardous trees include those that have:

  • split apart at the trunk
  • developed a large crack in the trunk or on big branches
  • large branches that have broken and are hanging in the tree
  • started leaning, or are leaning more than before
  • roots pulling out of the ground, cut away, or damaged
  • large rotten areas (this may not always be visible)
  • power lines or wires caught in the branches

If you notice any of these issues after a storm (or at any time), give us a call ASAP to schedule a tree inspection. If the tree is deemed hazardous, it should be removed right away.

With our experience and specialized equipment, we can safely cut up and quickly remove large trees and branches. We'll gather and dispose of the debris so you can get back into your yard without tripping over dangerous objects.

"I have been using Riverbend for my tree work for years. Marcel and his crew are the best.
Recently, a tree started leaning heavily towards my house due to the recent storm, and Marcel came out immediately for an estimate. When it fell into my pool area overnight, Marcel made my job a priority and scheduled removal for the next morning. His guys ultimately removed 4 dead pines quickly and efficiently. Clean up was excellent. They are worth it if you want quality work."

"Got home late Sunday evening and found that my large big beautiful oak tree lost a big limb while I was gone almost blocking my driveway. Riverside came out the next morning, gave a fair estimate and arrived two days later and took care of the issue plus a few other prunings. They did an amazing job working like an orchestra together and everyone from beginning to end was well spoken and polite."
