First: Make Sure Everyone Is Safe
Check for downed power lines (stay 30 feet away and call 911), structural damage (do not enter until cleared), and partially uprooted trees which can fall without warning.
When to Call 911 vs. a Tree Service
Call 911 for injuries, downed power lines, or gas line ruptures. Call Stanton at (470) 914-3402 for trees on roofs, cars, or fences. We offer 24/7 emergency response throughout Atlanta.

What to Do When a Storm Damages Your Trees
Metro Atlanta's summer thunderstorms, the occasional ice event, and saturated red-clay soil bring down trees and limbs every year — often onto roofs, fences, driveways, and power lines. If a storm has damaged a tree on your property, here's how to stay safe and handle it the right way.
What Counts as a Tree Emergency
- A tree or large limb resting on your house, garage, or vehicle
- A trunk that has split, cracked, or is leaning toward a structure
- Branches tangled in or near power lines — never approach these
- A fallen tree blocking your driveway or your only way out
- Hanging "widow-maker" limbs over walkways, decks, or play areas
If anyone is in danger or a power line is down, call 911 and your utility company first — then call a tree service, not the other way around.
What Not to Do
- Don't approach or touch any tree or limb contacting a power line — always assume it's live
- Don't cut tensioned or bent limbs yourself; they can spring back with enough force to cause serious injury
- Don't climb a damaged tree or get on a roof to reach branches
- Don't sign anything with a door-knocking "storm chaser" before getting a real, written quote
Insurance and Documentation
If a tree hits a structure, homeowner's insurance usually covers the removal and repairs. Before any cleanup begins, photograph the damage from several angles, note the date and the storm, and keep your itemized invoice. We provide detailed, written invoices that make filing a claim straightforward.
