Emergency Tree Service

24/7 Emergency Tree Service in Lakeville, Minnesota

Storms and unexpected tree failures require immediate action, not a call that gets returned next week. Arbor Barber Tree Service provides 24/7 emergency tree services in Lakeville, MN to quickly restore safety and prevent further damage, whether that's a tree that's already come down or one that's about to.


When you need an emergency arborist, minutes matter more than they do for routine work. We prioritize calls involving hazards to people, vehicles, or structures, and we're set up to respond any time of day or night, including situations where emergency tree removal is the only safe option.

Emergency Tree Service Helps With

  • Fallen trees on homes or vehicles
  • Trees blocking roads or driveways
  • Hanging or broken limbs that could come down without warning
  • Storm-damaged trees that are no longer structurally stable
  • Trees uprooted or leaning after high winds or heavy, wet snow

Our Emergency Response Process

We respond quickly to assess the situation, figuring out exactly what's at risk and what needs to happen first. Hazards are then secured or removed safely, whether that means taking a leaning tree down completely or stabilizing it until a full removal can be scheduled. Once the immediate danger is handled, debris is cleared to restore access and safety, so your property isn't left blocked or hazardous while you wait on a follow-up visit.

Safety & Professional Equipment

Emergency situations require experienced handling. Our team arrives prepared with the equipment needed to manage dangerous conditions safely, including trees under tension, unstable limbs, and situations where normal cutting techniques could make things worse instead of better. Getting it right the first time matters more in an emergency than almost anywhere else in this line of work.

What Counts as a Tree Emergency?

Not every tree problem needs a call at 2am, but some genuinely do. A true emergency is a tree or limb that's either already down or actively at risk of coming down in a way that threatens people, vehicles, or structures right now. A dead branch you've been meaning to deal with for a season is a maintenance issue. A cracked limb hanging over your driveway after last night's storm is an emergency.

How Fast Can an Emergency Arborist Respond?

Response time depends on current call volume and storm conditions, especially during widespread weather events when many properties are affected at once. What we can tell you is that emergency calls are always prioritized ahead of scheduled work, and hazards involving people, vehicles, or structures get handled first.

Why Fast Response Matters

A hazard tree rarely gets safer on its own while you wait. A cracked limb can finish breaking off overnight, a leaning tree can shift further with the next gust, and standing water from a downed tree over a driveway or walkway adds its own risk on top of the tree itself. Getting a hazard secured quickly isn't just about convenience, it's about keeping the situation from getting worse while everyone waits for a callback.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How do we know if we're dealing with a real tree emergency or something that can wait?

    If a tree or limb is already down, or is actively threatening a structure, vehicle, or person, treat it as an emergency. If it's just an eyesore or a future concern, routine service works fine.

  • Is emergency tree service available in the middle of the night?

    Yes. We're available 24/7, since storms and tree failures don't wait for business hours.

  • Will you remove the tree completely, or just make it safe for now?

    It depends on the situation. Sometimes we secure the hazard immediately and schedule full removal afterward, and sometimes the safest option is to complete the removal the same visit.

  • Does insurance typically cover emergency tree removal after storm damage?

    Many homeowner policies cover storm-related tree removal, but coverage varies by policy, so it's worth checking with your insurer about your specific situation.

  • What should we do while waiting for an emergency arborist to arrive?

    Keep people and pets away from the affected area, avoid trying to move debris or cut branches yourself, and stay clear of anything that looks unstable until we get there.
