Real Emergency Response — What Homeowners Experience
“I never thought I would wake up to a tree falling on my house… I was completely freaked out and had no idea what to do.
I called Paul, and he picked up on the second ring. He showed up calm, with a crane bigger than my problems.
He explained everything clearly and immediately put me at ease while his crew got to work removing a massive tree from my house.
They were fast, professional, and made a terrifying situation feel manageable.
10/10 recommend. If you ever have a ‘tree emergency,’ these are your people.”

Helpful Questions & Answers about Emergency Tree Services in Kansas City
If your tree is storm-damaged, stay clear and call a professional immediately. Keep a safe distance from the tree and any downed power lines. Avoid attempting to remove or address the tree yourself, as storm-damaged trees can be highly unstable and dangerous. Instead, contact a professional tree care service experienced in emergency storm damage response to assess the situation and take appropriate action. You can also review our Storm Damage & Emergency Tree Care questions for answers to common concerns after severe weather.
Determining whether a storm-damaged tree should be removed depends on several factors, including the extent of the damage, the tree’s stability, and its potential risk to people, structures, or power lines. It’s best to give us a call and have one of our tree removal experts evaluate the tree’s condition. Happy Lemon Tree Service can determine whether the tree may be salvaged through pruning or whether it poses a safety hazard and needs complete removal. Learn more about when a damaged or declining tree may need to be removed.
Homeowner’s insurance policies vary, so coverage for emergency tree care after a storm may depend on your specific policy and the circumstances of the damage. Generally, if a storm-damaged tree has caused damage to your property, such as by falling on your home, your homeowner’s insurance may cover the cost of removal and repairs, up to the policy’s limits. However, it’s crucial to contact your insurance provider and document the damage with photographs before any tree removal or repairs begin. Additionally, consulting with our team of tree care professionals who can provide helpful information to use with your insurance company is advisable to ensure a smooth claims process.
Our goal is to respond as quickly as possible when emergency situations arise. Response times vary depending on weather conditions, the number of active emergencies, and your location, but we prioritize situations involving immediate safety risks, blocked access, or damage to homes and structures.
Yes. Our experienced team regularly removes trees and large limbs from homes, garages, sheds, and other structures. Every situation is carefully evaluated before work begins to safely remove the tree while minimizing additional damage to your property. If branches are getting close to your home but haven’t fallen, learn how much clearance tree branches should have from your house. 
If the tree has damaged your home or another insured structure, it’s a good idea to contact your insurance company as soon as possible. However, if the tree creates an immediate safety hazard, protecting people and property comes first. We can safely remove the hazard and provide documentation that may assist with your insurance claim.
We strongly recommend against it. Storm-damaged trees are often unstable, and broken limbs may be supporting more weight than they appear. Attempting to remove them yourself can result in serious injury or additional property damage. A professional assessment is the safest option. If you’re unsure whether a damaged or hanging branch is dangerous, see how to recognize tree branches that may be unsafe.
Every situation is different, but if a neighbor’s tree has fallen onto your property, our team can safely remove the tree and help document the damage. Questions about responsibility and insurance coverage should be directed to your insurance provider, as coverage varies by policy and circumstances.
