Rapid Storm Response for Lake Tahoe Communities
The Sierra Nevada region is no stranger to extreme weather. Sudden snowstorms, wind gusts, saturated soil, and icy conditions can all take a toll on tree stability. Fallen branches, cracked trunks, or trees leaning toward structures or power lines are common occurrences—and they can happen without warning. We specialize in fast-response storm cleanup and tree mitigation across Tahoe City and neighboring towns.
Our emergency services include:
- Removing trees or limbs blocking roads, driveways, and walkways
- Extracting storm-damaged trees near structures or vehicles
- Securing trees at risk of imminent failure
- Clearing fallen trees tangled in utility lines or roofing
- Providing full brush and debris cleanup, including chipping
We act fast because every moment matters in a tree emergency—especially when access or safety is compromised.
Safety-Driven Approach From Trained Experts
Emergency tree removal is one of the most dangerous types of fieldwork in the tree care industry. Our team is made up of experienced arborists, skilled climbers, and licensed crane operators who follow strict safety protocols and industry best practices on every call.
We adhere to ANSI Z133 safety standards, and our crews are equipped with:
- OSHA-compliant personal protective equipment (PPE)
- Advanced rigging tools for safe branch and trunk removal
- Emergency scene coordination with local fire, utility, or public safety departments
- Pre-job safety assessments to identify risks before any cutting or hauling begins
At Western States Tree & Forestry, safety is not negotiable. We don’t cut corners—especially in high-stakes emergencies.
Specialized Equipment for Complex Situations
Many emergency tree jobs require equipment that most local providers don’t have. That’s why we maintain a full fleet of emergency-ready tools and machinery—including Alpine West Crane, our own in-house crane division. This allows us to handle difficult or dangerous removals with greater speed, efficiency, and control.
Our emergency response gear includes
- Mobile and stationary cranes for large-scale lifts
- High-capacity brush chippers and haul-away trucks
- Rigging systems designed for confined spaces
- Headlamps and portable lighting for nighttime operations
- Snow-rated trucks and gear for harsh winter conditions
We come prepared—no matter the size or complexity of your emergency.
Insurance Assistance and Transparent Communication
We understand how overwhelming a sudden tree emergency can be—especially when insurance claims are involved. Our team works closely with homeowners, property managers, and insurers to streamline the process and minimize stress.
We provide:
- Written estimates tailored for insurance documentation
- Photographic evidence of property damage and removal work
- Direct communication with adjusters upon request
- Transparent pricing with clear breakdowns and no hidden fees
