A bad storm can turn a healthy tree into a serious hazard in seconds. Crown & Branch Tree Service keeps crews on call around the clock to reach Alpine, CA properties fast, clear dangerous trees, and get your home or business back to safe again.
A storm-damaged tree isn't a job for guesswork or an untrained crew. It takes real experience and the right gear, and we never sacrifice safety just to move faster.
A single storm can turn a sturdy, healthy tree into a genuine threat in a matter of minutes. Wind gusts, ice buildup, lightning, and waterlogged soil all combine to snap branches, split trunks, and pull entire trees out of the ground — putting homes, vehicles, power lines, and people at risk throughout Alpine, CA. Once that happens, you need a fast, organized response from people who know exactly what they're doing.
Crown & Branch Tree Service keeps dedicated storm crews and equipment ready to go at any hour. Our team is trained to handle the tricky, high-risk situations storms create — trees leaning on buildings, root balls torn halfway out of the ground, wood locked under tension from the storm itself. None of that is routine tree work, and we don't treat it that way.
We also build out the paperwork your insurance company will want. That means photos before, during, and after removal, plus a written report an adjuster can actually use to process your claim. Every storm job in Alpine, CA includes this documentation at no extra step for you, so the claims side is one less thing to worry about.
Whether it's one broken branch or a tree flattened across your roof, our crews are equipped and trained to take on the full range of storm-related tree emergencies.
We remove trees and heavy limbs that have come down on roofs, walls, garages, and sheds using rigging and section-by-section cuts to avoid making the structural damage worse.
Careful removal of loose, partially attached branches dangling overhead — often the single most unpredictable hazard left behind once a storm passes through.
Full removal of trees pulled clean out of the ground, including pulling the root ball, filling the hole it leaves, and hauling every bit of debris off your property.
We coordinate directly with utility crews any time a tree is touching or threatening power or communication lines, following the proper safety protocols to clear the hazard.
Full before-and-after photo documentation paired with a detailed written damage report, formatted the way Alpine, CA insurance adjusters expect to see it.
Once the hazard is gone, we clear the rest — branches, limbs, and wood debris scattered across your yard, driveway, and any blocked access routes.
Real experience, the right equipment, and a phone that's always answered — that's what makes us Alpine, CA's go-to storm response team.
Storms don't wait for business hours, so neither do we. Our emergency line is staffed every day of the year, holidays included.
Our crews carry specialized training for storm-damaged trees under tension — the kind of unpredictable load that separates routine tree work from genuine hazard removal.
Complete liability and workers' comp coverage protects your property and our crew on every emergency job we take on.
Every job comes with a full documentation packet — photos, measurements, written notes — built to help your insurance claim move faster and pay out fairly.
Cranes, aerial lifts, and heavy-duty chippers let us take on trees of any size, even in the tighter spots you find throughout Alpine, CA.
Every scrap of debris gets cleared and chipped on-site before we leave. We don't walk away from a half-done job.
We don't jack up prices because there's a storm outside. Our rates stay fair and consistent no matter what time you call.
We've spent over a decade responding to storms in Alpine, CA, which means there's very little we haven't already seen and handled.
Our emergency crews are on call 24/7, every day of the year. Exact arrival time depends on call volume and where you're located in our service area, but jobs involving a tree on a structure, contact with power lines, or a blocked emergency route always get priority. We move as fast as it's safe to move.
Most homeowner's policies do cover removal of storm-damaged trees that land on an insured structure, though exact coverage varies by policy and provider. We back up your claim with complete documentation — before and after photos plus a detailed written report built to match what adjusters look for.
It depends on how bad the damage looks. If there's any doubt about the structure, or you're hearing cracking or settling sounds, it's better to leave until someone can take a proper look. Call us right away and we'll assess the structural risk as part of our first visit.
Never try to cut or move a tree or branch that's touching electrical lines. Call your utility provider right away and keep everyone, including pets, well away from the area. Once the utility company confirms the line is safe or has been shut off, our crew can safely finish the removal.
Our pricing stays fair and steady no matter the hour or the weather — we don't do storm surcharges or price gouging. Every cost is laid out clearly before work starts, and any premium for after-hours response reflects the real added risk and complexity, not padding.
Our emergency crews are standing by around the clock. Storm-damaged trees don't get safer with time — don't wait to call.
