24/7 emergency tree removal and monsoon storm cleanup
When a tree comes down on your house, your driveway, or a power line, you need someone who answers the phone. Happy Tree Guys runs 24/7 emergency tree service across Scottsdale and the Phoenix metro. Call or text 602-806-9078 any time, day or night, and you will reach a real person, not a call center.
Most of our emergency calls come during monsoon season, July through September, when microbursts push wind gusts past 60 or 70 mph across the Valley. Those storms snap limbs, split trunks, and push over whole trees, especially mesquites and palo verdes whose shallow roots sit in soil that just got soaked by rain. A tree that stood fine for twenty years can be on your roof in one bad night.
Here is how an emergency call works. You call, we ask a few quick questions about what fell and what it is touching, and we tell you honestly whether it needs a crew tonight or can safely wait until morning. If anything is on a structure, blocking a driveway or road, resting on a fence you share with a neighbor, or hanging over a spot where people walk, we treat it as urgent. If a limb is down in the middle of the yard and not touching anything, we will say so, and waiting until daylight usually saves you money.
When the crew arrives, safety comes first. We check for electrical hazards before anyone touches the tree. If a line is involved, APS or SRP has to kill the power before we work, and we will help you make that call. Then we stabilize or remove the immediate hazard, cut and clear the debris, and haul everything away. If the tree damaged your roof, wall, or fence, we photograph everything before and during the work so you have clean documentation for your insurance claim.
Every emergency job is led by our crew under Eric Johnson, an ISA Certified Arborist, and we are fully licensed and insured. We have earned a 5.0 rating across 461 Google reviews doing exactly this kind of work for your neighbors.
We answer 24/7 and ask what fell, what it is touching, and whether anyone is in danger, so we can tell you if it needs a crew now or can wait for daylight.
We look for power lines, structural loading, and tension in the wood before making a single cut. Storm-damaged trees hold energy in strange places, and cutting the wrong limb first is how people get hurt.
We rig and lower the tree or limb in controlled sections instead of letting anything free-fall onto whatever is underneath. For trees on structures we work from the top down to take weight off the roof gradually.
We photograph the damage before and during the work and can provide an itemized invoice, which is what most homeowners insurance adjusters ask for on storm claims.
Debris is cut, loaded, and hauled the same visit. If you want the wood left for firewood, tell us and we will buck it to length instead.
After the immediate hazard is gone, Eric can evaluate what is left, whether a split tree can be saved with pruning or cabling, or whether removal and stump grinding is the safer call.
Storm damage in the Valley has its own pattern, and we have worked through every monsoon season for over a decade.
Emergency work costs more than scheduled work, and it is worth understanding why. Night and weekend calls pull a crew in outside normal hours. Trees on structures take longer because everything has to be rigged and lowered in small pieces instead of dropped. And storm-damaged wood is under tension, which slows every cut for safety. The main price drivers are the size of the tree, what it is resting on, access for equipment, and time of day. A limb on open ground might be a few hundred dollars, while a large mesquite across a roof at midnight can run several thousand. We quote every emergency job before work starts, over the phone when possible, so you always know the number before the saws come out. If the situation can safely wait until morning, we will tell you that too, because daytime rates are lower and we would rather keep your trust than charge you a night premium you did not need.
| Service | Typical price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Downed limb removal and haul-away | Around $300 and up | Limb on the ground, no structure involved |
| Tree off structure (roof, wall, fence) | Roughly $1,000 to $4,000 | Depends on size and how the weight is resting |
| Full storm tree removal | Roughly $800 to $5,000+ | Uprooted or split trees, includes haul-away |
| After-hours emergency response | Premium over daytime rates | We will quote before the crew rolls, no surprises |
Yes. Call or text 602-806-9078 any hour and you reach us directly. During big monsoon storms call volume spikes, so we triage: trees on houses, cars, or power lines get crews first, and debris that is safely on the ground gets scheduled for first light.
Simple downed-limb cleanup starts around $300. A tree resting on a roof, wall, or fence usually runs $1,000 to $4,000 depending on size and position, and large full removals can exceed $5,000. After-hours response carries a premium over daytime rates. We give you a firm quote before any work starts.
Often yes, when the tree damaged a covered structure like your roof, wall, or fence. Most policies cover removal of the tree from the structure plus the repair, subject to your deductible. We photograph everything before and during the work and provide an itemized invoice, which is the documentation adjusters ask for. Removal of a tree that fell in open yard without hitting anything is usually not covered.
Stay away from it, keep everyone else away, and call APS or SRP first, then call us at 602-806-9078. No tree crew should touch a tree that is contacting an energized line. The utility de-energizes or clears the line, and then we handle the tree. If the line is down and sparking, call 911.
Not always. A clean split on a healthy tree can sometimes be saved with structural pruning or cabling if we get to it quickly. Eric, our ISA Certified Arborist, looks at the wood, the lean, and what the tree would hit if it failed, then gives you a straight answer. If it needs to come down we say so, and if it can be saved we would rather save it.
A hanging limb or a partially uprooted tree should not wait, because the next storm finishes the job, usually onto whatever is underneath. Debris that is flat on the ground can wait a few days without risk. If you are not sure which situation you have, text a photo to 602-806-9078 and we will tell you.
