Why Homeowners Call Our Team
When a storm or sudden failure brings down a tree, homeowners need a reliable fallen tree company that can manage both the danger and the cleanup. We built our service around that need, with crews trained to handle projects ranging from a single broken branch to full fallen tree removal after a major storm.
We use state-of-the-art equipment and proven methods suited to homes, driveways, sheds, fencing, and other tight residential spaces. Our commitment to upfront pricing with no hidden fees means you know what to expect financially before you approve any work.
Controlled Emergency Tree Removal in Severna Park
Controlled removal begins with a plan for the tree, the surrounding structures, and the space available for our equipment. Our crews can manage projects of any size, including full fallen tree removal after a major storm.
We plan each job so cuts are controlled and sections are lowered safely. This approach lets us work efficiently near homes, driveways, sheds, fencing, and landscaping while protecting the property as much as possible.
Safety guides everything we do. We follow industry standards such as ANSI Z133 for tree work safety, set up secure work zones, wear proper protective gear, and use equipment correctly. We’re also fully licensed and insured for the work we perform.
Guy and Steve co-own our locally owned and operated Monster Tree Service of North Chesapeake Bay location. Our crews provide tree services throughout Anne Arundel County with more than 30 years of combined experience, and Monster Tree Service of North Chesapeake Bay is a Tree Care Industry Association member. That background informs how we plan removals around mature shade trees, ornamental trees, homes, fences, and other constrained areas.
Power Line Safety During a Tree Emergency
If a tree or large limb is touching a utility line, or you suspect that wires are involved, stay clear and contact the utility provider. Treat every downed line as energized, even when it’s on the ground or isn’t sparking. Don’t touch or approach the tree, nearby debris, fencing, equipment, or anything else that may be in contact with the line.
People, pets, and vehicles should remain away from the affected area until the utility provider assesses the electrical hazard. Equipment must stay at least 10 feet from power lines carrying up to 50 kilovolts, while higher-voltage lines require greater clearance. Tree removal around a line hazard can proceed only after the necessary electrical safety controls and utility coordination are in place.
If you must move away from a downed line, keep both feet together and shuffle without lifting them from the ground. This reduces the risk created by differences in electrical voltage across the ground. Don’t try to move branches off lines yourself.
Emergency Tree Service Process
Our process gives you a clear path from the first call through the final review of the work area.
When you contact us, we ask what happened, where the tree is located, and whether there are immediate safety concerns such as blocked doors or damaged structures. This information helps us evaluate the urgency of your call and prioritize immediate hazards. Arrival timing depends on the severity of the hazard, weather conditions, job volume, and crew availability.
Once our crew arrives, we walk the property with you and visually assess the tree, surrounding structures, and nearby utilities. We explain what we see, outline the safest removal options, and provide a free, no-obligation estimate with upfront pricing and no hidden fees before work starts. We answer your questions on site so you can make an informed decision without pressure.
When you approve the work, we secure the area, set up equipment, and begin carefully dismantling the damaged tree or limbs. Our methods control where each piece goes, reducing the risk of additional damage to roofs, siding, or landscaping. When needed, emergency work can include temporary cover for an affected structure.
We communicate with you throughout the job, so you understand what we’re doing and how long the work is likely to take based on site conditions. At the end of the process, we check the work area with you to confirm that the immediate hazard has been addressed.
Fallen Tree Removal Services
A fallen tree can remain dangerous because its trunk and limbs may be twisted, unevenly supported, or under tension. As a fallen tree company, we routinely work with trees that have landed on lawns, fences, sheds, homes, and vehicles, as well as trees blocking driveways and walkways.
Our crews identify how the tree is supported and where its weight is concentrated. Because a fallen trunk or limb can shift, roll, or release stored tension during cutting, we plan each cut before removing a section. This preparation helps limit secondary damage, especially near homes or parked vehicles.
We also explain how we’ll section the tree, handle branches, and manage the main trunk. In many cases, we can cut wood into manageable lengths for hauling away. If safety and access allow, we may be able to leave selected pieces cut to size for your personal use.
If a tree has damaged your home, our emergency work can include removing the affected tree and installing temporary cover when needed. We plan the removal around the damaged structure and control each section as the work proceeds.
If a tree has caused visible property damage, you may also be in contact with your insurance company. While every policy is different, we can walk your property with you to help document the tree removal work we plan to perform. Clear communication about what we’ll remove and how we’ll leave the site can support your conversations with your insurer, although we don’t make coverage decisions.
Tree Cleanup Services
Cutting up a fallen tree is only part of the job. Our tree cleanup services remove the scattered branches, brush, and wood so you can safely use your property again.
During cleanup, we gather debris created by the removal work and the original storm or failure. We load the material into our trucks or trailers and haul it away, saving you from cutting, bundling, and arranging special pickups. Our crews rake the immediate work area, focusing on driveways, walkways, and high-traffic parts of your yard where hidden wood or splinters could pose a risk.
We can also discuss follow-up services beyond immediate cleanup. These may include stump grinding after removal, tree trimming and pruning for nearby trees that show signs of damage, or reshaping older growth. Our tree services also include cabling and bracing for storm-weakened trees when those methods fit the condition of the tree.
Our company is committed to environmentally responsible practices. That includes handling debris in ways that align with current industry best practices and local requirements. We aim to keep your property safe and usable while also considering how tree waste is processed and reused where possible.
Staying Safe After Storm Damage
After a storm or sudden tree failure, some cleanup may seem manageable. Large, partially broken, or tensioned limbs require a trained crew because their weight can shift without warning.
Hidden stored energy can cause a limb to move suddenly when cut. Leave these situations to crews with the equipment and experience to manage them safely.
While you wait for our team, take these precautions:
- Keep family members, visitors, and pets away from damaged trees and heavy debris.
- Use cones, tape, or temporary markers if you need to block off unsafe areas.
- Take clear photos and short videos of the damage for your insurance records.
- Move vehicles or movable items only if you can do so without going under damaged branches.
- Write down the time of the storm or incident and any visible changes you notice over time.
These actions can support both your safety and any insurance discussions you may have later. When our crew arrives, we review the situation with you, confirm the plan, and take over the hazardous work so you don’t have to put yourself at risk.
Critical Area Tree Removal Requirements
Properties near tidal waters and wetlands in Anne Arundel County may fall within the Critical Area Buffer, generally a strip of at least 100 feet from those features. Within the buffer, removing vegetation or trees requires an approved Vegetation Management Plan before work begins. That requirement also applies to dead and storm-damaged trees.
Contracted pruning or tree removal in the Buffer must be performed by a Maryland Licensed Tree Expert and meet ANSI A300 tree-care standards. Outside the buffer, removing an individual tree generally doesn’t require County approval when the disturbed area remains under 5,000 square feet and the work doesn’t involve wetlands or steep slopes.
Permit and planning requirements depend on the property and the proposed work. Homeowners should confirm whether their property is within the Critical Area Buffer and whether County approval or a Vegetation Management Plan is required before removal begins. We’re fully licensed and insured, but homeowners should verify property-specific approval requirements with the appropriate County authority.
Frequently Asked Questions
These answers address common questions about emergency scheduling, pricing, removal, cleanup, and responsibility for trees near public roads.
Who Is Responsible for a Tree in a Public Right-of-Way?
Trees in a public right-of-way are generally handled by Anne Arundel County or the Maryland State Highway Administration rather than a private tree service. The responsible public authority determines the response. For a tree on private residential property, contact us so we can assess whether the work falls within our emergency tree service scope.
How Quickly Can Your Team Come Out?
We prioritize calls involving a clear safety risk or blocked access and work to schedule them as quickly as possible. Actual arrival times depend on the immediate hazards, weather conditions, job volume, and crew availability. When you call, we explain our current availability and expected timeframe.
How Much Does Emergency Tree Work Cost?
Cost depends on the tree’s size and location, the difficulty of the work, and the amount of debris to be removed. We provide a free, no-obligation estimate on site before work begins and explain each part of the price. Our pricing is upfront, and we don’t add hidden fees after the job.
Can You Remove a Tree That Fell on My House?
We regularly remove trees and large limbs that have fallen on roofs, porches, and other structures. Our crews carefully plan the cuts and use professional equipment to control each section as it comes off. We focus on helping to prevent additional damage while making the area safe.
Will You Handle All the Branches & Debris?
Yes, our tree cleanup services include gathering and hauling away the branches, brush, and wood created by our work. We rake the primary work area and focus on making driveways and walkways safe to use again. If you would like to keep some wood, we can discuss that on site.

Yes, Monster Tree Service of North Chesapeake Bay is fully licensed and insured for tree services. Our crews follow industry safety standards, including ANSI Z133 for tree work safety.
