Emergency tree removal
Trees fallen on homes, garages, fences, or vehicles are cut, lifted, and removed using rigging and controlled lowering so the surrounding structure stays protected.
Emergency storm tree cleanup and removal in Tacoma
Fast, safe response for downed trees, split limbs, and storm debris. One call to Canzler Tree Services clears the damage and gets your property back to normal.
When the storm hits
Don't let a fallen tree make a bad day worse
A Pacific Northwest windstorm, ice storm, or heavy snow can split canopies, uproot root balls, and drop limbs across roofs, driveways, and power lines. The longer the debris sits, the greater the risk to people, pets, siding, and vehicles.
Canzler Tree Services has handled storm cleanup across Tacoma, Pierce County, and the surrounding counties since 1965. We arrive with the right equipment, assess what is safe to remove immediately, and clear the mess without compounding the damage. From single limb hangs to full tree takedowns, our family-owned crew treats your property like it is our own.
- Emergency calls prioritized during storms
- Downed trees removed safely and completely
- Branches, logs, and debris hauled away

What's included in storm cleanup
Hanging limb removal
Partially broken branches high in the canopy are called "widow makers" for a reason. We bring them down carefully before they cause injury or further damage.
Debris cleanup
Limbs, leaves, bark, and split wood are gathered, chipped, and hauled away so your yard, driveway, and roof are clean when we leave.
Road and driveway clearing
Blockages on private drives, parking areas, and access lanes are cut up and cleared quickly so you can get vehicles and emergency services through.
Insurance documentation
We provide clear descriptions and photos of the storm damage and the work performed to support your homeowners insurance claim.
Follow-up tree care
After the emergency is handled, we can inspect neighboring trees for hidden cracks, root damage, or decay to reduce the chance of the next storm causing repeat problems.
From call to cleanup
How storm cleanup works
01
Call for emergency response
Call (253) 531-7510 and tell us what happened. We ask about hazards, access, and anything touching structures or power lines so we arrive prepared.
02
On-site safety assessment
Our crew inspects the tree, surrounding structures, and ground conditions before starting. Safety for people and property always comes first.
03
Remove hazards first
We cut and lower the most dangerous limbs and trunks using rigging, then remove the rest of the canopy in manageable sections.
04
Chip, haul, and clear
Branches are chipped, logs are cut to manageable lengths or removed, and the site is raked clean so your yard looks like a storm never hit it.
Built on repeat business
Why Tacoma homeowners call us back
Our philosophy is simple—treat your customers right and they will keep coming back. That is why 80-90% of our work is for repeat customers or by referral.
