What To Do If a Tree Falls on Your Property (Step-by-Step)

A tree falling is heart wrenching – especially when it hits your home, car, or yard. The key is knowing what to do next so you don’t make things worse.

Step 1: SAFETY is KEY

Keep distance. Downed trees can shift or have hidden risks. Especially if they have fallen on other leveled surfaces

Step 2: Check for damage

Look at your home, power lines, and surrounding areas. Don’t forget to reach out to your insurance or utility companies.

Step 3: Do NOT try to remove it yourself

This is where people get hurt. Tree removal is dangerous without proper equipment. Don’t move anything or try to get a saw to remove certain spots. Trees are heavy and have to be handled with precision.

Step 4: Call a professional tree service

You want it handled safely and quickly — especially if it’s blocking access or causing damage.

Step 5: Contact your insurance (if needed)

If there’s property damage, document everything!!!
