Emergency Tree Removal in Lehigh Acres, FL

If a line is involved, call LCEC first

Stay well away from any tree touching a wire. LCEC says all people, tools and branches must stay at least 10 feet from energized lines, and only qualified line clearance arborists can work closer (LCEC tree safety). Report dangerous line conditions to LCEC at 239-656-2300 or 800-282-1643. If someone has touched a line, call 911 (LCEC). A regular tree company can come in after the line is safe.

Is it an emergency?

• A tree or large limb is on your house, car, pool cage or fence
• A tree is blocking the only way in or out of your driveway
• A tree is leaning more than before, with cracked soil or lifted roots
• A hanging broken limb over a door, walkway or play area

A tree that's down in the yard and not touching anything can usually wait for a normal appointment, and that's often easier to schedule after a big storm.

Hurricane season in Lehigh Acres

The Atlantic hurricane season runs June 1 to November 30 (National Hurricane Center). NOAA recommends getting ready before it starts (NOAA). For trees, that means having dead or cracked limbs over the house looked at in the spring rather than waiting for a storm warning, when companies are busiest.

Storm debris: how Lee County wants it

After a storm, Lee County asks residents to put vegetative debris (branches, logs, leaves) at the curb in a separate pile from other debris, not to bag it, and to keep piles away from power lines, trees, meters, hydrants and mailboxes. Watch Lee County's official channels for collection dates after each storm. Ask the company whether its quote includes hauling debris away or only cutting it and stacking it at the curb.

Insurance and photos

Before anything is moved, take photos of the damage from several angles. Your insurer may want them. Ask the company for an itemized written estimate. We can't advise on coverage; check with your insurance company.

When we call it in, what we'll ask

• Your address and the closest cross street
• What the tree is on or blocking
• Whether any wire is involved (if yes, LCEC first)
