Strong wind, summer thunderstorms, and ice can do real damage to trees in Green Bay, Ashwaubenon, Allouez, De Pere, and the rest of Northeast Wisconsin. Some damage can wait a few days. Some can't. Here is how to tell the difference, and what to do before a tree crew arrives.
Call Right Away (Storm Damage Tree Repair That Can't Wait)
- A tree or large limb is resting on your house, garage, or vehicle.
- A limb is hanging or partly broken over a door, driveway, sidewalk, or play area.
- A trunk is split, or a tree has started to lean after the storm and the soil around the base has heaved.
- Fallen trees are blocking your driveway or access for emergency vehicles.
For after-hours storm emergencies, call or text (920) 873-1936.
Call the Utility First
If any tree or limb is touching a power line, stay back and call the utility before anyone else. Our team does not work on energized lines.
Can Probably Wait for a Scheduled Visit
- Small branches down in the yard with nothing hanging overhead.
- Minor bark damage or a few broken twigs.
- Brush piles you'd like hauled away.
Still worth an on-site look: a tree that lost one big limb may have hidden cracks, and trimming the damaged area can prevent the next failure.
What to Do While You Wait
- Keep people and pets away from the damaged tree.
- Take photos for your records and insurance. Photos help us know what we're walking into, but estimates are always on-site, not from photos.
- Don't climb ladders or run a chainsaw under hanging or loaded limbs.
