We had a dying a 60ft cottonwood removed safely from the back of our yard. The gentlemen were quick to respond to our phone call and booking us a time just 2 days later. They were on time, prepared and efficient (1.5 hrs, including the friendly cleanup). We couldn't be happier with their service. They also followed up with a phone call to ensure we were happy the next day! A++ business! Keep up the great work and service!

We have had work done by this team twice now and have been very satisfied with their work. They are careful about surrounding structures/gardens and clean the yard up so nice! Very reliable and blows other quotes out of the water. Thank you!

Highly recommend Greg and his crew! Amazing work!! They arrived on time, quickly and efficiently completed my entire yard and removed all the debris. I moved into my house this spring and quickly realized my backyard was a Jungle! Greg was the first tree servicer to answer the phone, first one to make it to my house and after 5+ estimates his company was by FAR the most affordable option! Greg and his crew carefully removed multiple spruce trees, an elm, a mulberry tree, trimmed down my shrubbery jungle and removed some pretty dangerous dead wood from 3 very large cottonwood trees on my property in record time. Clean up was completed beautifully! I am still in awe of the transformation!

Greg and team did an excellent job taking down two large trees and grinding several stumps. He was very responsive, which is very important to us. Afterwards, the yard and clean up work was extremely impressive. I will definitely use them again and absolutely recommend American Family Tree Service!

COMPLETE STORM DAMAGE SERVICES

Emergency Tree Removal and Storm Cleanup From Start to Finish

Storm damage can leave behind more than one problem. A fallen tree may be resting on a building, broken limbs may remain suspended above the property, and branches or logs can block access long after the weather has passed.

Our crew evaluates the full site before beginning work. We determine what needs immediate attention, identify a safe removal approach, and coordinate the equipment required to complete the job. Once the hazards are addressed, we can clear and haul away the remaining storm debris.

Call or text Greg as soon as possible when you discover storm-related tree damage.

Emergency Tree Removal

We respond to fallen, split, uprooted, and unstable trees that threaten homes, garages, vehicles, driveways, and other parts of the property.

Hanging and Broken Limbs

Partially attached limbs can fall without warning. Our crew carefully removes damaged branches and other overhead hazards left behind by high winds or severe weather.

Storm Debris Cleanup

We gather and remove branches, logs, brush, and other tree debris so driveways, yards, work areas, and access points can be used again.

Insurance-Related Work

We work with insurance companies when tree removal and cleanup are connected to storm damage or a covered property claim.

STORM DAMAGE QUESTIONS

What to Do When a Tree Is Damaged

What should I do if a tree falls on my property?

Stay away from the damaged tree and any hanging limbs, especially if the tree is touching a building, vehicle, utility line, or roadway. Call or text Greg so the situation can be reviewed and the next steps can be coordinated.

Do you provide emergency tree removal at night or on weekends?

Yes. American Family Tree & Crane Service provides 24-hour emergency response for fallen trees, unstable trunks, broken limbs, and other urgent storm-related hazards.

Can you remove a tree that has fallen on a house or garage?

Yes. Trees resting on structures require careful planning and controlled removal. We evaluate the tree, the structure, and the available access before determining the equipment and safest removal approach.

Do you clean up and haul away the storm debris?

Yes. Our crew can remove branches, brush, logs, wood debris, and other material created by the storm and removal work. The cleanup scope will be reviewed with you before the project begins.

Do you work with homeowners’ insurance companies?

Yes. We work with insurance companies when emergency tree removal or cleanup is related to storm damage and a property claim. Contact your insurance provider directly to confirm your specific coverage and reporting requirements.

What information should I provide when I call?

Tell Greg where the tree is located, what it has fallen on or is threatening, whether access is blocked, and whether power lines may be involved. Photos can also be helpful when it is safe to take them from a distance.
