Emergency Tree Service St. Louis

24/7 Emergency Tree Service in St. Louis

When a storm rolls through the St. Louis area, trees and limbs can come down fast — sometimes onto a roof, a car, a fence, or across the only way out of your driveway. A tree emergency isn't something that can wait for a weekday appointment. St. Louis Tree Co. provides true 24/7 emergency tree service across St. Louis City and St. Louis County, with experienced crews, the right equipment, and same-day availability to make your property safe again.

We've worked through countless Missouri storm seasons, and we know how to handle high-risk, time-sensitive situations safely. When you call, you reach a local team that can move quickly — and we include full cleanup and haul-away so you're not left with the mess.

Emergencies We Handle

• Tree on a house or roof — careful, rigged removal to limit further damage to the structure.
• Tree blocking the driveway or road — fast clearing so you can get in and out safely.
• Split or cracked trunk — a tree that has split is unstable and can fail at any moment.
• Hanging or broken limbs — "widow-makers" lodged in the canopy that can drop without warning.
• Uprooted or leaning trees — partially fallen trees that are no longer safely anchored.
• Storm-damage cleanup — large-scale limb and debris removal after severe weather.

What to Do Right Now — Stay Safe

Before we arrive, your safety comes first. A few important steps:

• Stay well clear of any downed or contacted power lines. Assume every line is live. If a tree is touching a power line, do not approach it — call your electric utility (and 911 if there's immediate danger).
• Keep people and pets away from the damaged tree, hanging limbs, and any leaning trunk.
• Don't try to cut it yourself. Storm-damaged trees are under tension and can react violently to a chainsaw — this is the most dangerous tree work there is.
• If a tree is on your home, leave that part of the house if it's unsafe, and call us.
• Document the damage with photos from a safe distance before anything is moved — this helps with insurance (more below).

How Fast Can We Respond?

We answer the phone around the clock and prioritize true emergencies — trees on structures, blocked exits, and hazards near people or power. We offer same-day response across the metro, and during major storms we work as quickly and safely as conditions allow. The fastest way to get help is simply to call (314) 888-9306 and describe the situation.

Does Insurance Cover Storm Tree Damage?

This is general guidance, not a guarantee — every policy is different, so always check with your insurer. That said, homeowner's insurance often covers storm-related tree damage when a tree hits a covered structure such as your house, garage, fence, or a vehicle (auto coverage may apply to cars). Coverage frequently includes the cost of removing the tree off the structure. A tree that simply falls in the yard without hitting anything is often not covered. To give yourself the best chance:

• Photograph everything before cleanup — the tree, the damage, and the surroundings.
• Contact your insurer promptly to start a claim and ask what's covered.
• Keep records of the emergency tree work and any receipts.
