What to do right now
If a tree has come down on your property, take these steps before we arrive:
Safety first
- Get everyone out of rooms where a tree has hit the roof, and keep kids and pets away.
- Stay away from downed or sagging power lines. Treat every line as live and call your utility company (LUS, SLEMCO, Cleco, or Entergy, depending on your area).
- Don't try to cut it yourself. Trees under tension can spring or roll when cut.
- Take photos of the damage for your insurance company before cleanup starts.
- Call us at (337) 568-2739 so we can get you on the schedule.
Emergencies we handle
Trees on houses
We carefully remove trees and limbs from roofs, carports, and additions without adding to the damage.
Trees on cars and driveways
We clear fallen trees off vehicles, driveways, and streets so you can get in and out.
Hanging and split limbs
Broken limbs stuck in the canopy, called hangers, can fall at any time. We bring them down safely.
Uprooted and leaning trees
A tree that suddenly leans after a storm has damaged roots and needs to be dealt with quickly.
Trees on fences
We remove trees from fences and clear the line so your fence can be repaired.
Storm cleanup
Branches, logs, and debris are chipped and hauled away, leaving your yard clean.
Licensed crews for dangerous jobs
Storm-damaged trees are some of the most dangerous work in our industry. The wood is under tension, limbs are cracked in ways you can't always see, and there's usually a house or power line underneath.
Apex holds a Louisiana Arborist license (#2856) and a Louisiana Utility Arborist license (#1992). We plan each emergency removal before cutting, use our bucket truck and rigging to control every piece, and keep your family and property safe.
Get ready before storm season
Hurricane season runs from June through November. The best way to avoid an emergency is to deal with weak trees before the wind does.
- Remove dead trees and hanging limbs near your home
- Reduce long, heavy limbs on live oaks and other large trees
- Clear branches away from your roof and power lines
- Add cabling and bracing to valuable trees with weak spots

Emergency Tree Service questions
How fast can you get to me?
We respond as quickly as possible, and urgent situations like trees on homes come first. Call (337) 568-2739 and we'll tell you when we can be there. After major storms, demand is high across Acadiana, so calling early helps.
What should I do if a tree is touching a power line?
Stay away from the tree and the line, keep others away, and call your utility company first. Lines can be live even when the power is out. Once the utility makes the line safe, we can remove the tree.
Will my insurance cover emergency tree removal?
Many homeowners policies cover removing a tree that falls on your home or another covered structure, but coverage varies. Take photos of the damage before cleanup starts and check with your insurance company.
Can you remove a tree that fell on my roof without more damage?
Yes. We take the weight off the roof in small sections, using ropes and our bucket truck to lift and lower pieces, so the tree doesn't shift and cause more damage.
Do you also handle storm cleanup?
Yes. Beyond the emergency removal, we clear broken limbs, hanging branches, and debris from your yard, driveway, and roof and haul it all away.
