What Tree Emergency Are You Facing?
Fallen Tree Removal
A fallen tree may block a driveway, damage a roof, fence, or vehicle, or leave part of the property unsafe. Keep clear of the trunk, root plate, and suspended branches. When you call, describe the location, nearby structures, property access, and any utility lines so an available provider can review the safest next step.
Broken or Hanging Limb Removal
Broken and hanging limbs can remain under tension and may move without warning, especially after wind or heavy rain. Do not stand beneath them or attempt overhead cutting. Note whether the limb is above a roof, walkway, vehicle, or neighboring property. The provider can then determine the access method and equipment needed for controlled removal.
Access and Structure Clearance
Trees and large limbs can block the only driveway, limit emergency access, or rest against a roof, fence, shed, or vehicle. Keep people away and report any utility involvement first. Describe what is blocked and whether equipment can reach the site. Debris hauling, log removal, and related cleanup should be confirmed as part of the provider’s scope.
Safety First
Important Safety Information
Assume every downed utility line is energized. Do not touch the line or anything near it, including trees, fences, vehicles, or standing water. Keep people and pets away, call 911 or SWEPCO at (888) 218-3919, and do not attempt tree or debris work within 10 feet of a power line.
- Stay out from beneath cracked branches, leaning trunks, and suspended limbs.
- If a tree has struck a home, avoid rooms directly below or beside the impact area.
- Do not climb the tree, use a ladder, or cut storm-damaged wood that may be under tension.
- Take photographs only from a safe location; do not enter a hazardous area for a closer view.
Once utility and immediate life-safety hazards are addressed, call (318) 526-8716. Describe what happened, what is threatened or blocked, and whether the site can be reached safely.

Storm Cleanup Services
Restoring Your Property After the Storm
Severe thunderstorms, straight-line winds, heavy rain, and saturated soil can leave trees split, uprooted, leaning, or loaded with broken limbs across Shreveport and Northwest Louisiana. Even after a storm passes, damaged wood may remain under tension and can shift during cleanup.
Storm-cleanup requests may include fallen-tree removal, hazardous-limb removal, tree debris, blocked-access clearance, and work near roofs, fences, sheds, or vehicles. Take photographs only from a safe location and note structural damage, blocked entrances, utility lines, and access limitations.
Before authorizing work, confirm the provider’s scope, equipment, timing, pricing, credentials, debris-hauling plan, and whether stump grinding or insurance documentation is included. For immediate tree hazards away from utility lines, call (318) 526-8716. For non-urgent debris-only work, review our tree debris cleanup service.

What should I do if a tree falls on my property?
Keep everyone away from the tree, root plate, and hanging limbs. If power lines are involved, call 911 or SWEPCO first and do not approach the area. When it is safe to do so, call (318) 526-8716. Provide the address, what is damaged or blocked, nearby structures, and whether equipment can access the site so provider availability and next steps can be confirmed.
What determines emergency response timing?
Timing depends on the severity of the hazard, active weather, utility involvement, provider availability, required equipment, travel distance, and safe site access. A tree threatening occupied space or blocking the only entrance may be triaged differently from debris lying safely in an open yard. Call (318) 526-8716 with the full address and hazard details; timing is confirmed for the specific request.
Which areas can request emergency tree service?
Emergency tree-service calls may be handled from Shreveport, Bossier City, Haughton, Benton, and nearby communities across Caddo and Bossier Parishes. Availability, travel range, timing, and project acceptance are confirmed for each request. When calling, provide the full address so the provider can confirm coverage and access.
