Emergency Storm Cleanup in Melissa, TX
Downed trees, snapped limbs, debris everywhere? After North Texas storms, we clear hazards so your property is safe again. Send photos of the damage with the form below. Photos help us assess it faster.
Fast Response When It Matters Most
March through June is peak storm season in Collin County. Straight-line winds, hail, and the occasional tornado roll through, and mature post oaks and Bradford pears take the worst of it. Bradford pears are notorious for splitting at the trunk in high wind. After a storm we triage calls by hazard level: trees on houses, trees blocking driveways or streets, and hanging broken limbs come first. General debris cleanup follows once hazards are cleared.
What to do right now
- Stay clear of power lines. If a tree is touching a line, keep everyone back and call your utility company before anyone else. If lines are sparking, call 911.
- Don't move what's under tension. Limbs pinned against structures or bent under load can release violently. If it's not lying flat and free, leave it alone.
- Photograph everything before cleanup starts. Your insurance adjuster will want to see the original damage.
- Keep people and pets away from hanging broken limbs until they're removed.
- Send us the photos using the storm form on this page, or call (469) 545-0844.
What we handle after a storm
- Trees down on driveways, fences, sheds, and houses
- Large broken limbs hanging in canopies (widow-makers)
- Uprooted trees and root balls
- Full debris cleanup: branches chipped, everything hauled
- Assessment of damaged-but-standing trees: save or remove?
After the cleanup: prevent the next one
Most storm damage is preventable. Once the emergency is handled, ask us about preventive trimming: removing deadwood, reducing sail-heavy canopies, and cabling weak unions before the next storm season. Preventive pruning now can reduce the chance of costly emergency work later.
Will insurance cover it?
Homeowners insurance often covers tree removal when a tree damages a covered structure (your house, fence, detached garage), and sometimes debris removal even without structural damage. Document everything with photos before cleanup, keep your receipts, and check your policy's tree-debris limits.

Storm FAQs: Melissa, TX
How fast can you get here after a storm?
Storm damage reports are prioritized by hazard level. How quickly we can get to you depends on how widespread the damage is, but trees on houses and blocked access come first.
A tree fell on my house. What do I do first?
Make sure everyone is safe, then call us and your insurance company. Take photos of the damage before anything is moved. If power lines are involved, call your utility first and keep your distance.
Can a storm-damaged tree be saved?
Sometimes. If the trunk is intact and less than half the canopy is lost, corrective pruning can often save it. If the trunk is split or the root plate lifted, removal is usually the safe choice. We'll give you an honest assessment on-site.
Do you work with insurance claims?
Detailed invoices and before/after photos make insurance claims documentation easier. Be sure to get both before cleanup is finished. We don't negotiate with insurers on your behalf.
