When a tree falls on your property, a large limb breaks, or a damaged tree threatens your home, you need help dealing with the hazard. At Explicit Land & Tree Service, we provide 24/7 emergency tree service in Ellijay, and surrounding North Georgia communities. We handle urgent tree removal, storm-damaged trees, hazardous limbs, and fallen trees that create problems for homes, driveways, and other parts of your property.
Call us at (706) 607-6171 to discuss your emergency. We offer around-the-clock service availability, although response times depend on weather, road conditions, job severity, and crew availability.
When Do You Need Emergency Tree Service?
Emergency tree service is appropriate when a fallen, damaged, or unstable tree presents an immediate risk to people, buildings, vehicles, or access to your property. Some hazards develop during severe weather, while others become apparent when a tree suddenly leans, splits, or loses a major limb. We help property owners assess urgent situations and determine the appropriate tree removal or cleanup work.
Contact us when you have:
- A tree that has fallen on a house or other structure: Damaged trees can place additional weight on roofs, walls, and other building components.
- A tree blocking your driveway: A fallen trunk or large branches may prevent vehicles from entering or leaving your property.
- A split or partially broken tree: A damaged trunk or large limb may remain suspended or unstable.
- A tree leaning suddenly after a storm: A new lean, lifted roots, or disturbed soil may indicate that the tree has lost stability.
- Large hanging branches: Broken limbs caught in the canopy can fall without warning.
- Storm debris creating a hazard: Fallen trunks and heavy branches may need professional removal to restore safe access.
If a tree has contacted a power line, stay well away and contact the utility company or emergency services as appropriate. We do not recommend approaching or attempting to cut a tree that may be energized.
What Emergency Tree Services Do We Provide?
We handle urgent tree problems that require removal, storm cleanup, or attention to a hazardous tree. The work depends on the damage, the location of the tree, and the risks around the affected area. Our combined team experience of 50 years and specialized equipment help us handle a range of tree removal situations throughout North Georgia.
Emergency Tree Removal
When a tree has fallen, split, or become dangerously unstable, we can assess the removal requirements and determine an appropriate work plan. Emergency removal may involve a tree resting against a structure, a damaged trunk near a driveway, or a hazardous tree that could cause further property damage if it fails.
The removal method depends on the tree’s size and condition, site access, nearby structures, and equipment requirements. We explain the proposed work and pricing before proceeding whenever the circumstances allow.
Storm Damage Tree Cleanup
Strong winds, heavy rain, and severe storms can leave broken branches, fallen trunks, and damaged trees across a property. We provide emergency storm cleanup to address tree-related hazards and help clear affected areas.
Our equipment includes 21-inch chippers, skid steers, excavators, dump trailers, and dump trucks. We determine which equipment is appropriate based on the amount of debris, access to the site, and the type of work required.
Hazardous Tree and Limb Removal
A tree does not have to fall completely to become dangerous. Large cracks, broken leaders, hanging limbs, and significant root movement may indicate a risk of failure. We assess the situation and determine whether the tree or damaged sections require removal.
We also consider the tree’s proximity to buildings, vehicles, fences, and other obstacles when planning the job. If the entire tree needs to come down, we can discuss our tree removal service as part of the emergency response.
Difficult and Large-Tree Removals
Emergency situations involving large trees can require specialized equipment and careful planning. Our equipment includes CMC Arbor Pro lifts, skid steers, excavators, and other machinery used for tree and land-service projects. We also offer crane-assisted tree removal when the site and job requirements make it appropriate.
The equipment used for your emergency will depend on the tree, access conditions, ground stability, and nearby structures. Not every situation requires the same removal method.
