"A neighbor's tree fell onto our tree, causing it to split. The trees created a huge hazard for our family and neighbors. This was definitely a job for professionals. We could tell from Mathias' website that they had the right tools for the job. Thanks for all the hard work!"

What Qualifies as a Tree Emergency?

Not every fallen branch requires immediate attention, but certain situations demand swift action to keep you and your property safe. Here's what we consider a tree emergency:

  • Trees or large limbs fallen on structures, vehicles, or power lines.

  • Trees that have developed a sudden lean, posing a fall risk.

  • Large, hanging branches that pose an imminent risk.

  • Trees blocking driveways, roads, or walkways.

  • Storm-damaged trees with split trunks or major limb loss.

If you're unsure whether your situation qualifies as an emergency, don't hesitate to call us at 314-322-7690 24/7. We'll assess the urgency, provide guidance on the best course of action, and send our team as soon as possible.

Our Emergency Tree Services

At Mathias Precision, we're ready to respond to any tree emergency that Mother Nature throws at us. We can tackle the following situations across St. Charles and St. Louis Counties:

Storm Damage Mitigation & Clean-Up

We'll check out storm-damaged trees, fix any immediate dangers, and clean up the mess left behind.

Emergency Tree Risk Assessment 

Our ISA Certified Arborists will look over any other potentially hazardous trees and spot problems before they turn into real emergencies.

Emergency Tree Removal

We safely and efficiently remove trees that have fallen on homes, commercial buildings, vehicles, or walkways and prevent any further property damage. We can also tarp your roof to keep the rain out.

Fallen Tree Clearing

We'll clear trees blocking important spots like driveways and roads. Trees down in your yard might not be an emergency, but we'll still help remove them when we can.

Hazardous Limb Removal

If a storm cracks or breaks off large tree limbs, we can safely remove them before they fall on people or property below.

Always Prepared for Tree Emergencies 

Tree emergencies don't wait, and neither do we. We handle fallen trees, hazardous branches, and storm damage across St. Charles and St. Louis Counties. Let our ISA Certified Arborists secure your property, restore your peace of mind, and get you back on track.

I could not be happier with the results!

"Fantastic service, I've had them remove 2 trees now and clear out the vegetation that overtook my back yard, as well as clear a downed tree. I could not be happier with the results! One of the trees was a natural honey locust right next to the house. They were able to remove it without damaging my property at all. I was extremely impressed. 1000% recommended for any tree removal and will absolutely be using again!"

"We have used Mathias Precision Tree Service several times over the past 15+ years.  They've removed a huge oak tree, a maple tree, and now a sweet gum tree.  They've done several trimmings for us over the years.  Removed bushes.  Even put down sod after one tree was removed.  They are completely reliable and superb at their job and work ethic.  HIGHLY recommend!!"

Staying Safe During Tree Emergencies

While waiting for our team to arrive, follow these safety guidelines:

  • Keep clear of damaged trees and fallen branches, especially near power lines. 

  • Never approach downed power lines – call your local utility company right away. 

  • Keep children and pets indoors and away from affected areas. 

  • If it's safe, take photos of the damage for insurance purposes. 

  • Don't try to remove fallen trees or branches yourself. Fallen trees are often under immense loads and can be unpredictable and extremely dangerous.

Common Causes of Tree Emergencies in Our Area

Tree emergencies can happen year-round in St. Charles and St. Louis Counties. Here's what usually causes trees or big branches to fall:

  • Severe Thunderstorms: High winds and heavy rain can break branches, uproot trees, or topple even healthy trees in saturated ground. Lightning strikes can instantly create hazards. 

  • Ice & Snow Storms: The weight of ice and wet snow can break branches or split trees, especially with wind. Evergreens are particularly vulnerable. 

  • Tornadoes: Though rare, these can uproot or shatter trees, causing widespread damage. 

  • Freezing Rain: Ice-coated branches are prone to breaking, especially in windy conditions. 

  • Drought: Extended dry spells weaken trees, making them more susceptible to disease, pests, and storm damage. 

  • Sudden Temperature Changes: Quick freezes or thaws can cause trees to crack, creating weak points.
