The First 10 Minutes

A tree just came down. Here’s exactly what to do — in order — before anyone touches a saw.

  1. 1

    Get everyone clear

    Move people and pets well away from the tree and anything it is leaning on. Stay clear of wires — treat every downed line as live.

  2. 2

    Call 911 if it’s serious

    If a power line is down, gas is leaking, or the tree hit a home with people inside, call 911 and the power company first.

  3. 3

    Call us — 24/7

    Call (757) 319-5131. A real person answers day or night, and we get a crew out to stabilize the tree before it does more damage.

  4. 4

    Photograph the damage

    Take photos before anything is moved. It makes your insurance claim far easier — and we can coordinate directly with your adjuster.

  5. 5

    Don’t cut it yourself

    A fallen tree is loaded with tension and can kick back or roll without warning. This is where most homeowner injuries happen.

Why it happens here

Coastal Storms Are Hard on Hampton Roads Trees

Hampton Roads sits on flat, sandy soil with a high water table, and that changes how trees fail here. When a storm dumps rain for hours, the ground saturates and loses its grip on the root plate. A loblolly pine or water oak that stood for fifty years can tip over whole — roots and all — in soil that’s turned to soup.

The wind does the rest. Our tallest pines catch a gust like a sail, and one split or a hidden pocket of rot is all it takes for a limb — or the whole trunk — to end up on a roof.

“The trees that fail in a storm almost always had the problem long before the storm showed up.”

That’s why timing matters. Risk isn’t spread evenly across the year — it spikes with hurricane season and again with winter nor’easters. A little storm-prep trimming before the season beats an emergency call during it.

Storm & Tree-Failure Risk by Month in Hampton Roads

Peak danger runs August through October with hurricane season, with a second spike from winter nor’easters.
