When to Call for Emergency Tree Service
Some tree situations can’t wait for a scheduled appointment. If you’re facing any of the following in Rochester or Monroe County, call us right away — we’ll dispatch a crew and make your property safe:
Tree Fallen on Your House or Roof
A tree or large limb on your home is an immediate safety and structural emergency — call before attempting anything yourself.
Tree on a Car, Garage or Driveway
We safely lift and remove trees off vehicles and outbuildings so you can get moving and document the damage.
Tree Blocking a Road or Access
Fallen trees across driveways, private roads, or shared access get cleared fast so people and vehicles can get through.
Large Hanging or Broken Limbs
Broken, hung-up limbs (“widow-makers”) can drop without warning. We remove them before they hurt someone.
Tree Leaning Suddenly After a Storm
A new or worsening lean — especially with lifting soil — means the tree may be about to fail. Don’t wait it out.
Uprooted or Heaving Root Plate
Soil lifting or cracking around the base after wind or saturated ground means a tree is losing its anchorage.
Storm, Ice & Wind Damage
Severe splits, stripped bark, and snapped major limbs after a storm often need urgent make-safe work or removal.
Tree Touching Power Lines
Stay back and call 911 / RG&E first for live lines — then call us to coordinate safe clearance and removal.
Power line involved? Call 911 and RG&E first. Always treat any tree or limb touching a utility line as live and deadly — keep everyone well back and never touch it. Then call us at (585) 479-3388 so we can coordinate with the utility and remove it safely.
Rochester Storms & Hazards That Bring Trees Down
Most of our emergency calls trace back to a handful of local conditions. Knowing what fails — and why — is how our ISA-Certified crews respond quickly and safely when a tree comes down anywhere in Monroe County:
Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) Devastation
The Emerald Ash Borer has killed a huge share of ash trees across Monroe County and Western New York. Dead ash become dangerously brittle within a year or two — limbs and entire trunks can snap without warning, making them some of the most hazardous trees to remove. If you have a declining or bare ash on your property, it should be assessed and removed before it fails on its own.
Ice Storms, Lake-Effect Snow & High Winds
Rochester’s position off Lake Ontario brings heavy lake-effect snow, spring ice storms, and severe wind events that split co-dominant stems, snap weak limbs, and uproot shallow-rooted trees. Storm-loaded trees often hide internal cracks — which is why we offer 24/7 emergency tree removal across the region after major weather.
Aging Silver & Norway Maples
Many of Rochester’s older neighborhoods — Park Avenue, Browncroft, the South Wedge, and the surrounding towns — are full of mature silver and Norway maples planted decades ago. These fast-growing species are prone to trunk decay, included bark, and cavity formation as they age, and frequently outgrow the space between homes and power lines. Wet clay soils near the lake and the Erie Canal can further destabilize their root plates.

We run our emergency crews the same way we run every job — safety first, honest pricing, and complete cleanup. After 10+ years and countless Rochester ice storms, there isn’t much we haven’t seen."
"I had three 100-foot-plus trees that needed to come down — leaning over the Erie Canal towpath next to power lines, a shed, and a fence. I got estimates from 4 companies; one wouldn’t even take the job. The Branch Specialists crew came in on time, assessed the situation, and took all three down without incident in one day. They stayed late into the darkness to make sure everything was cleaned up. State-of-the-art equipment, a professional and courteous crew — highly recommend."
"Posting on behalf of my dad. Peter and his crew took down 6 more locust trees for a total of 12. These were not easy to take down — there were power lines between them and they were over 100 ft. tall. I can’t say enough about how pleased we are with Branch Specialists and their employees. Thank you very much!"
"My trees are healthier, safer, and more attractive. The hazardous tree removal was done flawlessly, and the pruning significantly improved the health of my remaining trees. I feel much more at ease knowing they no longer pose a risk to my property. All credit to Branch Specialists Rochester."
"The Branch Specialists team executed the work with precision and care — pruning overgrown branches, removing a diseased tree, and treating the remaining trees. The tree removal was particularly impressive: managed safely and efficiently without any damage to the surrounding area."
