Tree Down In Morganton? Call Now.
A tree on the house, a limb over the driveway, a trunk leaning after a storm. We cover Morganton and the rest of Burke County, and the line is answered 24/7 by a real person — not a machine.
24/7 Emergency LineDon't Wait On These
If any of these describe your property right now, call rather than fill in a form.
A Tree Or Limb On The House
Weight on a roof keeps working at the structure. The longer it sits, the more of the repair bill is water damage rather than tree work.
A Trunk That Has Started To Lean
A lean that appeared after a storm means the root plate has moved. That tree is no longer holding itself up the way it was.
Anything Touching A Power Line
Call your utility first, then us. We do not touch energised lines, and neither should you — not even to move a branch.
Access Blocked
A trunk across the driveway is an emergency when somebody in the house needs to get out, or an ambulance needs to get in.
What We Cover Out Here
Morganton, Valdese, Drexel, Glen Alpine
Burke County is part of our regular service area, worked from our yard on NC-127 in Hickory. Morganton sits inside it, so for genuine emergencies call rather than wait on a form — it lets us tell you honestly how soon we can be there.
Lake Properties
Lots backing onto the water are usually tight, sloped, and awkward to reach with a chipper. That is the work our crane and grapple trucks exist for — lifting wood out over a house or a bulkhead instead of dragging it across the yard.
Mature Hardwoods And Pines
Large oaks, poplars and pines are what fail in storms here. Big wood over a structure is a rigging problem, not a chainsaw problem.
After The Storm Passes
When weather moves through the county everybody calls at once. Calling early gets you into the order; a form sent overnight does not.
Equipped For The Difficult Ones
Storm work is won or lost on equipment. Ours is why we take the jobs other outfits turn down.
2 Cranes
Wood lifted straight out, over the roof, instead of rigged down piece by piece above the thing you are trying to protect.
2 Grapple Trucks
Storm debris picked up and gone, rather than stacked at the kerb waiting on a second trip.
ISA Certified Arborist
On staff. The call on whether a damaged tree is saveable or has to come out is made by someone qualified to make it.
What Happens After You Call
1. A Person Answers
You describe what happened and where. We work out whether this is tonight or tomorrow.
2. We Make The Site Safe
Weight off the structure, access cleared, anything unstable brought down under control.
3. The Wood Goes
Cut, loaded and hauled. We do not leave a pile in the yard unless you ask us to.
4. We Tell You What's Left
Including whether neighbouring trees took damage you cannot see from the ground.
Emergency Questions We Get
Do you actually come out to Morganton?
Yes. Burke County is in our service area. We are based in Hickory — call and we will give you a straight answer on timing rather than a guess.
Will insurance cover this?
Often, when a tree has hit a structure. We are fully insured and can document the work for your claim. We cannot tell you what your policy covers — that is a conversation with your carrier.
What does an emergency call cost?
It depends on size, access and risk, which is why nobody honest quotes storm work sight unseen. You get the price before we start.
Is it an emergency if nothing is damaged yet?
If a tree is leaning over a house or a limb is hanging, yes. Waiting for it to land is how a tree removal turns into a roof replacement.
After The Emergency
Request A Free Estimate Instead
If the tree can wait, send us the details and we'll come look — no charge. If it cannot wait, call the 24/7 line rather than filling this in.
