Downed Tree? Blocked Access? We Answer — Day or Night

When high winds drop a tree on your roof, your driveway, or across your property’s main entrance, every hour matters. Atlas provides 24/7 emergency tree response and storm cleanup throughout the East Bay — primarily for downed branches and downed trees caused by high winds and storms. Call 925-687-3631 and get crews who have been answering Northern California storm calls for over six decades.

Common Storm Emergencies We Handle

  • Downed trees — Full trees brought down by wind, rain-saturated soil, or failure
  • Fallen branches and limbs — Heavy debris on roofs, vehicles, fences, and walkways
  • Trees on structures — Careful removal that prevents further damage during extraction
  • Blocked driveways and access roads — Fast clearing so your property functions again
  • Hanging and partially failed limbs — Dangerous hangers that could fall at any moment

Our Emergency Solution

We respond, stabilize, and clear. First priority is always safety — securing the scene and eliminating immediate danger to people and property.

Then we remove the tree or debris with the right equipment for the situation, including crane support for trees on structures. We finish with cleanup, because a storm-hit property shouldn’t stay a disaster zone after we leave.

  • Rapid Response — Available 24/7 during storm events and beyond
  • Scene Safety First — Hazards stabilized before removal begins
  • Damage-Conscious Removal — Trees lifted off structures, not dragged across them
  • Complete Storm Cleanup — Branches, debris, and hazards cleared from the property

What Makes Our Emergency Work Different

  • Experience under pressure — Storm work is dangerous, and our long-tenured crews have done it for decades
  • Real equipment — Professional cranes, chippers, and rigging that handle what storms produce
  • Calm, clear communication — You’ll know what we’re doing, when, and why — even at 2am
  • Careful follow-up — We flag related hazards we spot so the next storm doesn’t repeat the damage

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do while waiting for your crew?

Stay away from the downed tree and anything it’s touching, especially wires. Keep people and pets clear, and don’t attempt removal yourself.

Do you respond at night and on weekends?

Yes. Emergency response is available 24/7. Storms don’t keep business hours and neither does this service.

A tree fell but hasn't hit anything — is that still an emergency?

If it’s blocking access, leaning on another tree, or partially failed, treat it as urgent. Partially failed trees are among the most dangerous situations we respond to.

Can you document storm damage for my records?

Yes. Tell us you need documentation when you call and we’ll record the damage and work performed.
