About this service
Emergency tree removal New Braunfels TX
Emergency tree removal New Braunfels TX is the urgent removal of a tree that has fallen, split, or become unstable and is threatening a home, vehicle, power line, or driveway. It is not routine trimming. Our crews rig the trunk with ropes, cut it in sections with a chainsaw, and lower the pieces so nothing else gets crushed. We work in rain, after dark, and on weekends because storm damage does not wait for business hours.
In New Braunfels, live oaks, pecans, and cedar elms drop limbs fast when summer storms roll through or when winter ice loads the canopy. Root rot from heavy clay soil is another common cause.

What's included
What is included in an emergency call
Every emergency job is different, but the core work is the same. We remove the hazard, protect your property, and leave the site clean. Here is what is covered in a standard emergency tree removal New Braunfels TX call, and what we price separately.
Sectional cutting and lowering
We cut the trunk in sections and lower each piece with rigging ropes and slings. A bucket truck handles anything within reach. This protects roofs, fences, pool cages, and driveways from impact damage during removal.
Emergency tarping
If the tree opened your roof, we tarp the damaged area before we cut so rain does not make things worse. We also board windows or cover openings if the trunk broke through a wall. Tarping is included on roof-impact calls.
Chipping and haul-away
Limbs go through a Bandit chipper and logs go on the truck. We rake the work area and blow off the driveway before we leave. If you want the mulch or the firewood cut to length, tell the crew and we will leave it.
Insurance documentation
We photograph the damage, note the tree species and size, and give you a written invoice that describes the hazard and the work performed. Most insurers want that paperwork, and we make it easy to file your claim.
How it works
What to expect when you call
You reach a real person, not a voicemail. We ask three things: what fell, what it is resting on, and whether anyone is hurt. If a power line is involved, we tell you to stay back and call the utility first. We dispatch a crew while we are still on the phone with you.
A supervisor walks the scene with you. We check the lean, the root plate, and what the tree is hung up on. We identify the safest cut path and set rigging anchors. This takes 10 to 15 minutes on most residential jobs, and you get a flat price before we start cutting.
If the tree is on a roof, we tarp the damaged area first so rain does not make things worse. If a limb is under tension, we relieve it with a pole saw from the ground before anyone climbs. Safety first, then the heavy cutting begins.
We cut the trunk in manageable sections, starting at the top. A climber with climbing spikes and a Stihl chainsaw rigs each piece and lowers it with ropes. The bucket truck handles anything within reach. Logs go to the truck, limbs go to the chipper.
We rake the area, blow off the driveway, and walk the job with you. If a stump is left, we mark it and give you a separate price for stump grinding. You get a written invoice with the work described, and we do not leave until you have looked it over.

Tools & methods
Tools and methods we use
Stihl and Husqvarna chainsaws
Primary cutting saws for trunks and limbs. We run different bar lengths for ground work and climbing work, and we keep spare chains sharp on every truck.
Bucket truck
Lifts a climber to height for trees that are safe to approach from above. It lets us cut and rig without climbing spikes, which is faster on tall, straight trunks.
Rigging ropes and slings
Hold the weight of cut sections so they lower under control instead of dropping free. This is how we protect roofs, fences, and pool cages during removal.
Bandit wood chipper
Turns limbs and brush into mulch on site. We can haul the chips away or leave them for you, depending on what you want.
Vermeer stump grinder
Grinds stumps below grade after a removal. We use it on a separate visit once the trunk is gone and the area is clear.
Pole saw and climbing spikes
Pole saws let us relieve tension from the ground before anyone climbs. Spikes are used only on dead or removal-only trees, never on trees we are preserving.
Real results
Before and after.
Emergency
Oak on the roof in Gruene
A 60-foot live oak split during a spring storm and landed across a ranch-style roof. Rain was entering through a broken vent, and the trunk was resting on the ridge line under tension.
After: We tarped the opening, rigged the trunk in six sections, and lowered each piece with ropes. The roof was freed in four hours, and the debris was chipped and hauled the same night. No further structural damage occurred.

Emergency
Pecan limb on a power line
An ice storm dropped a pecan limb onto a service line in a New Braunfels neighborhood. The homeowner called us first, and we told them to call the utility before anyone touched the tree.
After: Once the line was de-energized, we removed the limb and the damaged branch collar with a pole saw and chainsaw. The utility restored power the same morning. No one was hurt and no equipment was damaged.

Problems our emergency crews solve
A tree in the wrong place causes a chain reaction. Water gets in, structures shift, and the damage bill climbs. These are the calls we run most often in New Braunfels, and how we stop the damage from spreading.
Ask a pro →Tree fell on the roof and rain is coming in
We tarp the opening first, then cut the tree away in sections so the roof is not pulled further. A climber rigs each piece and lowers it with ropes. We photograph the damage for your claim and can board windows if needed. Most roof calls take three to five hours.
Leaning tree over the house after a storm
We assess the root plate and lean angle, then rig the tree and lower it away from the structure. If the root plate is already lifted, we do not climb it. We use a bucket truck or a controlled pull with ropes to bring it down safely.
Limb resting on a power line
We tell you to stay back and call the utility first. Once the line is de-energized, we remove the limb and the tree. We coordinate with the utility crew on site so the work happens in the right order. Never let anyone cut a tree touching a line.
Tree blocking the driveway or street
We cut the trunk into movable sections and clear a path first, then finish the removal. Most driveway calls are cleared within two hours. We haul the logs and chips the same visit so nothing is left on the street.
