When a tree lands on a house or blocks the only way out of a driveway, you need help now, not next week. Most emergency calls in Longmont come after wet spring snow, like the storm on May 6, 2026 that brought branches down all over town, or after winter windstorms. Longmont Tree Company answers emergency calls around the clock for homes, apartment complexes, HOAs and businesses. We get the weight off the structure, clear access and make the area safe, then come back for full cleanup if it can't all be done that night.
If anyone is hurt, call 911. If a tree is on a power line, call Longmont Power & Communications at 303-651-8386 and stay well back from the tree. Then call us at (303) 578-5969.
Once everyone is safe, take photos of the damage from a few angles before anything is moved. Your insurance company will want them, and we'll add our own photos and an itemized invoice when the job is done.
Emergency Tree Removal Services in Longmont, CO
Emergency work isn't one kind of job. These are the calls we get most after wind, snow and ice storms. Most emergencies are a mix of these.
Storm Damage Cleanup
Once the urgent hazard is handled, there's usually a yard full of broken limbs, split trunks and debris. We cut it up, chip it and haul it away, and we can grind any stumps left behind. More on our storm damage cleanup page. After big storms the city has run free curbside branch collection, and residents can take branches to the Longmont Recycling Center on Martin Street. Or we haul it all away.
Hazardous Tree Removal
Sometimes the tree didn't fall but now it's split, uprooted on one side or leaning on another tree. These are some of the riskiest trees to cut because the wood is under tension. We take them down from the top in small, controlled pieces. If it can't be done safely in the dark, we stabilize it and finish at first light.
Fallen Tree Removal
A tree resting on a roof, car or fence has to be lifted off carefully, or it can do more damage on the way down. We cut it back in the right order, lift or lower sections and leave the structure ready for your roofer or insurance adjuster. We work with your adjuster if they want to see the tree before it's moved.
Emergency Limb Removal
A single big limb hanging over the driveway or caught in the canopy above the deck is just as dangerous as a whole tree. We bring it down safely and check the rest of the tree for cracks while we're up there. Hangers, as broken limbs caught in a canopy are called, can drop with the next gust, so we treat them as urgent.
Our Emergency Tree Removal Process
In an emergency, order matters. This is how we work from the moment you call.
Quick Assessment on Arrival
We look at where the tree is resting, what it's damaged, whether any lines are involved and how the wood is loaded. That tells us which cuts are safe to make first and whether we need a bucket truck or more hands. Nobody climbs or cuts until that plan is clear.
Clear Communication and a Price
Even at night, you'll hear what we plan to do and what it costs before we start. If part of the job can wait until daylight, we'll tell you so you're not paying emergency rates for work that isn't urgent. You decide what gets done now and what waits.
Securing the Area
We set up a safe work zone, keep people and pets back and leave any power lines to the utility. If the roof is open, we can tarp it to keep the weather out until it's repaired. Cars, grills and outdoor furniture in the drop zone get moved first if they can be.
Tree and Debris Removal
The weight comes off the structure first, then the rest of the tree is cut up and lowered or lifted away. Driveways and walkways are cleared so you can get in and out. Sections over the roof are roped and lowered, never dropped.
Job Site Cleanup
Branches are chipped, logs hauled away and the yard raked. If cleanup has to wait for daylight, we come back and finish it as scheduled. The goal is a yard that looks like the storm never happened, apart from the missing tree.
Final Check and Insurance Photos
We walk the property with you, check other trees for hanging limbs and give you photos and an itemized invoice for your insurance claim. If the stump or other damaged trees need attention, we'll quote that separately with no pressure.

Emergency Tree Removal FAQs
What people in Longmont ask us when a tree has just come down. Save our number, (303) 578-5969, before the next storm.
Do you offer 24-hour emergency tree removal in Longmont?
Yes. Call (303) 578-5969 any time. If you reach voicemail at a busy moment, leave your address and what the tree is on, and we'll call straight back.
How fast can you get here?
It depends on the time and how many calls come in after a storm, but trees on houses, cars and blocked driveways go to the front of the line. We'll give you an honest arrival time on the phone.
How much does emergency tree removal cost?
Emergency removals in Longmont usually cost somewhere between about $500 and $3,500, and more for a large tree on a house that needs a crane. After-hours work costs more than a scheduled job. We price it before we start, and anything that can wait until daylight is priced at the normal rate.
Can you remove a tree touching power lines?
We don't touch a tree that's in contact with energized lines. Call Longmont Power & Communications at 303-651-8386 first; they'll make the line safe. Once they say it's clear, we remove the rest of the tree. Lines from the pole to your house are the owner's responsibility in Longmont, and LPC will switch off your power for free during business hours so that work can be done safely.
Do you handle storm damage too?
Yes. After wind, snow or ice storms we clear fallen trees, broken limbs and debris from yards, roofs and parking lots, and we grind stumps when you're ready. Many people call us for the emergency and keep us for the cleanup. We also provide photos and invoices for insurance, and can check the trees still standing for cracks or hanging limbs.
