When a tree emergency strikes, time is crucial. Fallen trees, storm damage, and weakened branches can threaten homes, businesses, and roadways. That’s why Brawner’s Tree Service provides 24/7 emergency tree service in Battle Creek, Kalamazoo and across Calhoun County, MI. Whether it’s day or night, our team is ready to respond quickly, remove hazardous trees, and restore safety.
What Qualifies as an Emergency Tree Situation?
Not every broken limb is a danger, but some tree issues simply can’t wait. If you’re unsure whether you’re dealing with an emergency, consider these signs:
- A tree or large limb has fallen on your house, garage, or driveway
- A tree is leaning sharply or showing signs of uprooting
- Heavy limbs are hanging dangerously above your home, deck, or sidewalk
- A tree is tangled in or pressing against power lines
- Your property is inaccessible due to fallen trees
- There are cracks in the trunk or visible root lifting after a storm
If any of these apply, it’s best to call a professional right away. Delaying can lead to further damage or injury.
Storm Damage Cleanup Services
After a storm, your property may be left with scattered branches, uprooted trees, or leaning trunks that pose a threat. Cleaning up storm damage can be overwhelming, but Brawner’s Tree Service makes it easy.
What Our Storm Cleanup Includes:
- Removal of fallen trees and large branches
- Clearing blocked driveways, walkways, and roads
- Trimming hazardous hanging limbs
- Hauling away all debris to leave your property clean
We respond immediately after storms to help residents and businesses regain safe access to their property. Whether a tree has partially fallen or is leaning dangerously, we assess the situation and take the necessary steps to eliminate risks.
Emergency Tree Cutting and Trimming
Not all tree situations require complete removal. Sometimes, a tree remains standing but has broken or hanging branches that could fall at any moment. These limbs pose a danger to people and property, especially after high winds or lightning strikes.
Our 24/7 tree cutting and trimming service removes weak and damaged branches before they become a bigger problem. We assess each tree carefully and trim or cut only what’s necessary to maintain safety.
Hazardous Tree Assessment and Preventive Services
Some trees show signs of potential failure before they fall. If you suspect a tree near your home is unstable, don’t wait. We provide hazardous tree assessments to determine if a tree is at risk of falling.
Signs of a hazardous tree include:
- Leaning trees with exposed roots
- Cracks or splits in the trunk
- Large, dead branches hanging above structures
- Soft or decayed wood near the base
- Trees with lightning damage
If we find that a tree is dangerous, we’ll recommend either trimming, bracing, or removal. Preventive maintenance can stop emergencies before they happen and keep your property safe year-round.
The Dangers of Ignoring Tree Emergencies
Ignoring a damaged tree can lead to severe property damage and personal injury. A weakened tree might not seem like a problem at first, but it can fall without warning, crashing into roofs, power lines, or cars.
Common risks include:
- Trees falling on homes, causing roof and structural damage
- Large limbs snapping and injuring people below
- Trees blocking driveways or roads, cutting off access
- Fallen branches damaging vehicles and fences
If you notice any sign of tree instability, do not wait. Call for emergency tree removal in your area immediately to prevent costly repairs and potential harm.

Frequently Asked Questions
How fast can you respond to an emergency call?
We offer same-day and 24/7 response. In most cases, we can be on-site within hours. If the area is experiencing widespread storm damage, we prioritize high-risk situations and work through our call list as quickly as possible.
What if the tree is on power lines?
Do not approach. Call your utility company immediately. We will coordinate with them before starting any work to ensure the site is safe and power is cut off if needed.
Will you remove the tree the same day?
In most cases, yes. Unless additional hazards prevent safe removal, we begin work as soon as the site is secured and our crew is ready.
What does emergency tree removal cost?
Costs vary based on the complexity, location, and severity of the situation. We provide clear estimates upfront and can work with your insurance provider to delay billing if the incident is covered.
What happens after the tree is removed?
We remove all debris, and if needed, can grind the stump or recommend follow-up repairs. In some cases, we also provide temporary coverings for damaged roofs or fences.
Can you assess the rest of my trees after?
Absolutely. Many homeowners request a full tree risk assessment after an emergency.
