Choose the safest first call
Start with the danger in front of you.
A damaged tree does not always start with a tree-service call. Use the route that matches the scene right now.
Life, fire, electrical, or structural danger
Call 911 first.
If a tree or limb is touching or near a downed power line, stay well away and contact 911 and the electric utility serving the property. Do not touch the tree, line, nearby fence, vehicle, equipment, puddle, or another object that could be energized. B&C cannot begin tree work until the utility or emergency authority declares the area safe.
Active tree emergency without an electrical hazard
Call B&C now.
Call when a tree is on a home, newly uprooted or sharply leaning, split, continuing to move, holding a large suspended limb, or blocking essential access.
Call 866-PHX-TREEStable storm damage without immediate danger
Request a storm assessment.
Use the form when the damage is stable and people can remain clear while B&C evaluates the tree and schedules the next step.
Request a Storm Damage AssessmentWhat to do first
Keep people out of the failure zone.
Storm-loaded wood can shift as soil settles, wind returns, or one branch releases weight into another part of the tree or structure.
- Do not climb onto a damaged roof.
- Do not walk or stand beneath suspended limbs.
- Do not cut a loaded, split, or storm-damaged tree yourself.
- Do not approach a tree touching or near a power line.
- Do not move a line or anything contacting it.
- Do not enter an unstable structure to take photographs.
What counts as an emergency
Call when waiting could expose people or property to a worsening failure.
A monsoon or microburst can create an obvious collapse or a condition that progresses after the wind has passed.
Damage does not always mean removal.
After the immediate risk is controlled, a professional arborist may recommend stabilization, selective pruning, or preservation when the tree and site support that choice.
- On a structure or high-use areaA tree or major limb is on a house, wall, vehicle, pool area, patio, or another structure.
- Uprooted or newly leaningThe root plate has lifted, soil has cracked, or the trunk developed a severe lean after wind or saturated soil.
- Split or suspendedA trunk has opened, a leader has broken, or a large limb is hanging over a roof, walkway, parking area, or neighboring property.
- Blocking essential accessA tree is across a driveway, entrance, roadway, gate, or route needed by residents or emergency responders.
- Progressive failureCracking sounds, visible movement, widening splits, or continued settling suggest the condition is getting worse.
- Near electrical equipmentKeep away and follow the 911 and utility-first route above. B&C waits for the area to be declared safe.
What happens after the call
The plan becomes more specific as the scene becomes visible.
Phone triage helps B&C understand priority and possible equipment needs. The crew must still confirm loading, root failure, structural contact, utilities, ground conditions, and access in person.
- 01
Initial priority triage
We gather the address, immediate hazards, structural impact, utility involvement, blocked access, and safe photos if available.
- 02
Site and access assessment
The crew evaluates movement, loading, surrounding structures, work-zone control, ground conditions, and the route for people and equipment.
- 03
Condition and scope record
When it is safe and practical, B&C records the visible failure, contact points, pre-work condition, and authorized scope before major material moves.
- 04
Controlled stabilization, pruning, or removal
Rigging, lifts, cranes, loaders, or sectional removal may be used when the actual tree, load, access, and safe work plan call for them.
- 05
Cleanup and closeout
B&C completes the authorized cleanup and haul-off, then organizes the included closeout information for your records.
Honest timing
No blanket arrival promise.
Priority and arrival timing can depend on immediate risk to people or occupied structures, utility clearance, road and property access, available crews and specialized equipment, storm-wide call volume, and whether the condition is stable or continuing to worsen.
Equipment and access
The method follows the scene.
Not every emergency needs a crane. B&C selects rigging, lifts, cranes, loaders, or sectional removal based on the tree, loading, structures, utilities, ground, and workable access. The safest plan may change after the crew can inspect the property.
Written scope and cost
Price follows the hazard, access, and work you authorize.
Emergency tree-service cost depends on what must be controlled and what the property allows. B&C explains the proposed scope and price before authorized work begins.
- Tree size, failure condition, and contact with a home or other structure
- Suspended or loaded wood and the rigging or equipment required
- Utility involvement, street conditions, gates, turns, and property access
- Cleanup, chipping, haul-off, and material-handling scope
- Stump work requested after the immediate hazard is resolved
Tree-service projects start at $750. Your inspection is complimentary; this minimum applies to the work.
Hidden movement, loading, root failure, structural contact, or access conditions can require a safer plan than was possible to identify by phone. Any material scope change should be explained before additional work is authorized.

Questions to settle before the crew arrives.
Call 911 and the electric utility first when the scene involves life, fire, electrical, or unstable-structure danger.
What should I do if a tree falls on my roof?
Move everyone away from rooms beneath the impact and stay off the roof. Call 911 if anyone is injured or there is fire, active structural failure, or an electrical hazard. From a safe location, call B&C and contact your insurer. Take photos only if you can do so without entering the failure zone.
What should I do if a tree or limb is touching a power line?
Stay well away and call 911 and the electric utility serving the property. Do not touch the tree, line, fence, vehicle, equipment, puddle, or another nearby object that could be energized. B&C cannot begin tree work until the utility or emergency authority declares the area safe.
How quickly can B&C arrive?
B&C provides 24/7 emergency tree service, but exact arrival times vary. Priority depends on immediate risk, utility clearance, access, location, available crews and equipment, storm-wide call volume, and whether the condition is stable or worsening. We give the most honest timing available when you call.
Should I call or submit the online form?
Call for an active or worsening emergency, including a tree on a structure, a newly uprooted or sharply leaning tree, a split trunk, a large suspended limb, or blocked essential access. Use the form for stable storm damage and assessment requests. Call 911 and the electric utility first for electrical or immediate life-safety danger.
Does every emergency removal require a crane?
No. Equipment depends on the tree, load, surrounding structures, utilities, ground conditions, and access. B&C may use rigging, a lift, a crane, a loader, sectional removal, or a combination when the site assessment shows it is appropriate.
Can a storm-damaged tree sometimes be saved?
Sometimes. The crew may find that stabilization or selective pruning can retain viable structure. A split, uprooted, severely leaning, or extensively failed tree may require removal. The recommendation depends on the tree and the targets around it, not storm damage alone.
Will B&C contact my insurance company?
No. B&C works for the property owner or authorized customer and does not promise to contact or coordinate with an insurer. You remain responsible for policy and claim communication.
Does homeowners insurance cover fallen-tree removal?
Coverage depends on the policy and the facts of the loss. Damage to an insured structure, access obstruction, deductibles, limits, exclusions, and debris-removal provisions may all matter. Review your policy and ask your insurer what applies. B&C cannot determine coverage or guarantee reimbursement.
What documentation can B&C provide?
When appropriate and safely possible, B&C may provide before-work, progress, and after-work photographs; professional arborist field notes; an itemized service record; a description of authorized work; and closeout documentation. Ask your insurer what it requires.
What happens after I call?
B&C begins with phone triage, then evaluates the site, access, loading, utilities, and structural contact in person. When conditions allow, the crew records the pre-work condition, confirms the authorized scope, performs the appropriate stabilization, pruning, or removal, and completes the included cleanup and closeout.

“I could not believe how fast they were able to remove our large pine tree and complete the stump grinding. From start to finish it was under an hour while also cleaning up our fruit trees, a large cottonwood and cleaned up everything better than before they got here. The quote was reasonable and worth the money for the quality of work.”
