Emergency Tree Removal in Boise, ID
24/7 response for trees down on a house, car, fence, or power line, and trees that are actively failing after a storm.
A tree does not wait for a convenient time to fail. High wind events roll through the Treasure Valley several times a year - the kind of gusts that toppled trees and knocked out power across Boise neighborhoods including the Bench and North End in past windstorms - and when a tree comes down on a house, car, fence, or driveway, you need a crew that can respond fast, work safely, and coordinate with your insurance company.
What counts as a tree emergency
- A tree or large limb has fallen on a house, garage, car, or fence
- A tree is leaning or has visibly cracked at the base or trunk after wind or a storm
- A tree has fallen across a driveway, sidewalk, or the only access to your property
- A large limb is hung up in the canopy (a "widow-maker") and could fall at any time
- A tree is resting on or tangled in power lines or a service drop to your home
If a tree is touching a power line, stop
Never approach or attempt to move a tree or branch that is touching a power line. Idaho Power treats all downed or contacted lines as energized until proven otherwise. Call 911 and then Idaho Power at 208-388-2323 (or 1-800-488-6151) immediately, and keep people and pets well away from the area. Idaho Power will de-energize the line before any tree crew, including ours, can safely cut it free.
How our emergency response works
Call our emergency line and describe what happened - what fell, what it's resting on, and whether anyone is in danger. We prioritize calls where a tree is on a structure, blocking sole egress from a property, or actively unstable. Our crew arrives with the equipment to stabilize the situation first (cutting off weight and pressure safely) and complete full removal once it's safe to do so, coordinating directly with your insurance adjuster's documentation needs if you're filing a claim.
Insurance and documentation
We photograph storm damage before and after our work and can provide an itemized invoice that most homeowner's insurance carriers accept for storm-damage claims. Keep in mind that debris blocking a public street is generally the Ada County Highway District's responsibility to clear (call 208-387-6100), while any limb resting on or against power lines is Idaho Power's - we handle everything on your private property.

Emergency Tree Removal FAQs
Yes. Call our main line any time; after-hours and weekend emergency calls are prioritized based on severity - trees on structures or blocking sole access get the fastest response.
Get everyone out of the affected area, do not go onto the roof or attempt to move debris yourself, and call us along with your insurance company. If the tree is touching a power line or there's a gas smell, call 911 first.
Most homeowner's policies cover tree removal when the tree damaged a covered structure (like your roof) or was caused by a covered peril such as wind. Removal of a tree that fell in the yard without hitting anything is less consistently covered - check with your carrier. We provide documentation and itemized invoices either way.
Response time depends on your location and current call volume, but tree-on-structure and blocked-access emergencies are our top scheduling priority throughout Boise and the surrounding ZIP codes.
