Severe weather, heavy rain, and unstable ground can cause trees to shift, split, or collapse across Santa Rosa, Sonoma County, and Napa County. When a tree becomes hazardous, fast action is critical to protect structures, vehicles, and access points. Vema Tree Service provides emergency tree services for fallen trees, dangerous limbs, and storm-related hazards on residential and commercial properties.
If a tree or large limb is creating an immediate risk, call (707) 358-2225 for emergency tree service before the situation gets worse.
When Emergency Tree Service Is Needed
Not every damaged tree requires emergency service, but some conditions should never be ignored. In the North Bay, saturated soil, wind, and aging trees increase the risk of sudden failure.
Emergency tree service is commonly required when:
- A tree or limb has fallen onto a home, garage, or vehicle
- A large limb is cracked and hanging over a structure
- A tree has uprooted or shifted toward a building
- Driveways or access roads are blocked by fallen trees
- Trees are tangled with power or utility lines
These situations carry a high risk of injury or property damage and require immediate, controlled action.
How Emergency Tree Situations Are Handled
Emergency tree service is not standard tree work. The goal is to control immediate danger first, then remove or stabilize the tree without causing additional damage to people, homes, or access points.
What Not to Do During a Tree Emergency
When a tree is damaged or unstable, certain actions can make the situation more dangerous.
- Do not attempt to cut, pull, or move the tree yourself
- Do not park vehicles or allow people near the affected area
- Do not assume a tree is safe because it has not fallen yet
- Do not touch trees or limbs that may be in contact with power lines
Waiting for professional emergency tree service reduces the risk of injury and further property damage.
Immediate Hazard Control
- Securing unstable limbs or split trunks
- Clearing blocked driveways or access points
- Reducing the weight of trees at risk of falling
Safe Emergency Removal
- Sectional removal to control falling debris
- Rigging systems for trees near homes or vehicles
- Crane-assisted emergency tree service when access is limited
Site Stabilization and Cleanup

Does emergency tree service cost extra?
Emergency tree service may cost more than routine, scheduled work because it requires crews to drop existing jobs and respond immediately. After-hours, overnight, or same-day calls often involve higher labor costs, additional safety planning, and working in more dangerous conditions, especially during storms or low visibility. Pricing is based on the urgency of the situation, the risk involved, and the resources needed to make the site safe as quickly as possible.
FAQs About Emergency Tree Service in Sonoma County
What should I do first if a tree falls on my house?
Stay clear of the area and avoid entering damaged spaces. If utilities are involved, keep distance and contact emergency tree service to stabilize and remove the hazard safely.
Is emergency tree service available at night or during storms?
Emergency response is provided when conditions allow safe work. In severe weather, crews focus on stabilizing hazards and restoring access as soon as it is safe to proceed.
Can a partially fallen tree be secured instead of fully removed?
In some cases, temporary stabilization is possible. This depends on root condition, trunk damage, and surrounding risks. Full removal is recommended when failure risk remains high.
Will emergency tree service prevent further property damage?
Emergency service focuses on reducing immediate risk and preventing additional damage, but pre-existing structural damage should be inspected separately after the site is safe.
