Storm & Emergency Tree Service, at a glance

Storm and emergency tree service is hazard response: making a fallen, leaning, or broken tree safe, clearing it off structures and roads, and finishing the removal and cleanup on a normal schedule. True Tree Service prioritizes hazard calls across Humboldt and Del Norte counties, with crews based in McKinleyville, Fortuna, and Crescent City.

Storm and emergency tree service in Humboldt County follows the weather up the county: fronts off Humboldt Bay put cypress and eucalyptus limbs on Victorian roofs in Eureka and redwood and spruce down in Arcata, Cutten, and McKinleyville; the Eel River Valley funnels wind at Fortuna, Rio Dell, and Ferndale, where cottonwoods, hillside firs, walnuts, and hundred-foot windbreak trees fail; mountain winters in Willow Creek drop snow-loaded firs and beetle-killed pines on cabins. Coastal spruce in Trinidad go over with the root plate in saturated sand.

Crews in McKinleyville and Fortuna mean local response across the county. Hazard calls go first, we make the situation safe before we finish the removal, lines mean the utility goes before anyone, and we provide the documentation insurers ask for.
