When to Call for Emergency Tree Trimming or Removal

Tree Removal

Know the Signs that Indicate the Need for Immediate Arbor Care


Overgrown, leaning, or damaged trees on your San Diego Area property may pose numerous risks to your landscape, visitors, occupants, neighboring buildings, and passers-by. From falls and accidents, to power outages and roof damage, there may be costly and life-threatening dangers lurking in your landscape. It is important to know when to call for an emergency tree trimming or removal service. The experienced ISA-certified professionals at Rancho Coastal clarify which situations warrant immediate attention by trained arborists.

Keep Your San Diego Area Property Safe and Beautiful


Timely identification of potentially hazardous situations is the key to maintaining a safe and attractive commercial landscape. Not sure when you should call for an emergency tree trimming or tree removal service? Look for these signs:

  • Visibility issues: Trees with bushy or uneven growth could impact clear lines of sight during movement of people or vehicles on your property. They may also block traffic lights on adjacent streets. Prevent potential trip-and-fall incidents and vehicular accidents. Address visibility issues by scheduling an emergency tree trimming service.

  • Storm damage: Strong winds, heavy rains, or other harsh weather conditions could uproot trees or leave them with broken branches and split limbs. During such times, clearing blocked paths and driveways, or removing the debris becomes a time-critical activity. Hiring a storm damage clearance service will help you maintain the safety, hygiene and attractiveness of your property.

  • Sick or aging trees: Undetected or untreated tree diseases or pest infestations could severely threaten the structural integrity of the trees on your property. Weak, peeling or brittle branches, uneven foliage, discolored leaves, knotty roots, presence of carpenter ants are just some of the signs that your trees may be sick. Such trees or their branches could potentially:

  • Collapse at any time, posing a grave risk to the adjoining landscape, as well as vehicles and people.

  • Lean dangerously close to a power line, roof line, or walkway within your property or a neighboring one.


Schedule an emergency tree care appointment with a qualified arborist who can:

  • Assess the extent of damage, including identifying the tree pests or disease

  • Provide remedial solutions to nurture your trees back to good health
