Storm & Emergency Tree Service in McKinleyville, CA

A tree down on the house, a leaner that moved last night, a driveway blocked in McKinleyville: hazard calls go first, and the loud part waits for daylight.

Storm & Emergency Tree Service in McKinleyville, at a glance

McKinleyville is home base, so when a front hits the west side of town and a shore pine goes across a driveway on Hiller Road or a spruce comes down on a roof, we are minutes away. Storm season here starts before the power flickers, and hazard calls come first.

McKinleyville is home base for us, and no town in the county throws more wind at its trees. Everything west of Central Avenue takes the ocean's weather head-on, and the shore pines, spruce, and cypress that grew up in it carry the lean and the deadwood to prove it. When a winter front comes through, the calls start before the power flickers.

How storm & emergency tree service goes in McKinleyville

If lines are involved anywhere near the tree, the utility goes first and nobody touches it until they have. Then call us and say tree on the house. Get everyone out from under it, take photos before anything moves, and do not cut it yourself; storm wood is under tension in ways you cannot see. McKinleyville is home base, so we are minutes away for a storm call and can usually quote the same week.

Nothing shields McKinleyville from the ocean; winter fronts hit the west side of town head-on, and the shore pines, spruce, and cypress lean and shed to prove it. Wind-formed shore pine and Sitka spruce with a permanent lean and dead limbs over a house are the most common McKinleyville call, especially after the first big front.

When McKinleyville homeowners call for storm & emergency tree service

  • A broken top or a big hanger still in the crown over the house after last night's wind.
  • A lean that changed after the storm, with lifted soil or a cracked root plate on the uphill side.
  • Lines down or tangled in the tree; that is a utility call first, then us.
  • Storm damage you need documented for an insurance claim.

McKinleyville mixes newer subdivisions with older ranch parcels and coastal lots west of Central Avenue, and access is usually good enough to get a truck close. Sandy coastal soils drain fast and hold roots poorly in wind, which is why big spruce here can go over with the whole root plate attached.

Storm & Emergency Tree Service in McKinleyville: questions

How fast can you get to a storm emergency in McKinleyville?

During a major event everyone calls at once, so a tree on a house with people in it comes first, a tree across a driveway next, and a damaged tree still standing after that. Say the word hazard when you call.

Do you answer storm calls after hours in McKinleyville?

Regular hours are Monday through Friday, 8 to 5, and during a major event we do everything we can to reach hazard situations quickly. Call and leave a message any time; hazard calls are the first thing we respond to.

The tree has not fallen yet but it moved. Is that an emergency?

Treat it like one. A shore pine that has lifted its roots, cracked, or leaned further after a storm is telling you what it plans to do. Stay out from under it, send photos, and call.

Do you charge extra to come to McKinleyville?

No. McKinleyville is inside our normal Humboldt County coverage, and quotes there are free.
