When a tree comes down on your house, car, driveway, or power line, every minute matters — and the wrong first move can make the damage worse. Cowboy Tree Care And Services runs a 24/7 emergency line for San Antonio and Bexar County. Call us, keep everyone away from the tree, and let a trained crew handle it safely.

If the tree is touching a power line, treat it as energized even if the power looks out. Stay away, call CPS Energy or emergency services, and then call us. We coordinate with the utility and bring the rigging, bucket, or crane the situation actually needs.

What Our 24/7 Emergency Tree Service Includes

Every 24/7 emergency tree service job in San Antonio is scoped in writing, so you know exactly what you're getting. Here's what's covered:

24/7 phone response

A real person, day or night, to triage the hazard and dispatch the right crew and equipment.

Hazard stabilization

We secure the scene first, assessing tension and load before any cut.

Utility coordination

We coordinate with CPS Energy when lines are involved — and never cut a tree contacting a live line.

Rigging or crane removal

Controlled sectional removal or a crane lift away from the structure or vehicle.

Debris clearance

The hazard cleared and the site made safe, with full cleanup available.

Insurance documentation

Photos and an itemized scope for your claim.

First 30 Minutes: What to Do

Before we arrive, protect people first:

  • Move people & pets clear: Stay out from under the canopy, hanging limbs, and the failure zone.
  • Assume lines are live: Never touch, cut, or move a tree contacting a power line. Call CPS Energy / 911 if a line is involved.
  • Don't climb or pull: Don't get on the roof, pull a limb off a car, or stand under a hung-up tree — it may be under tension.
  • Document safely: Take photos from a safe distance for your insurance claim.
  • Call us: Give us the address, what's hit, and whether a line is involved so we bring the right gear.

What Counts as a Tree Emergency

A true emergency is anything threatening life, a structure, or access: a tree on the roof or through a window, a trunk on a vehicle, a limb blocking your only driveway, a tree leaning hard after a storm, or any tree tangled in utility lines. If you're unsure whether it can wait until morning, call — we'll help you decide over the phone, and there's no charge for that.

How We Respond

Our crews stabilize the hazard first, protect what can still be protected, and remove the tree in controlled sections or with a crane when needed. We document everything for insurance and leave you with the debris cleared and the site safe. For the underlying storm cleanup and full debris haul, see our storm damage service.

  • 24/7 response for trees on structures

What Affects the Price

We don't post one-size-fits-all prices, because no two trees are the same. Every job is quoted in writing after we see it. These are the factors that move the number up or down:

  • Time of day and urgency
  • Complexity — rigging, crane, or line coordination
  • Damage and access conditions
  • Debris volume and haul-away
  • Insurance documentation needs

24/7 Emergency Tree Service FAQs

What should I do during the first 30 minutes of a tree emergency?
Move people and pets away from the tree and the zone beneath the canopy, stay clear of power lines, contact CPS Energy or emergency services when appropriate, take photos from a safe location, and call a qualified tree crew. Do not climb, cut, pull limbs, or drive beneath an unstable tree.
What should I do if a tree touches a power line?
Stay away and call CPS Energy or emergency services as appropriate. Do not touch, cut, move, or inspect the tree up close — even when the power appears to be off. CPS Energy notes that some residential line-clearance situations require up to 5 business days of coordination, but an active dangerous contact should be reported immediately.
Does emergency tree work cost more?
Usually, yes. Night, weekend, and storm work involves crew call-outs, lighting, and more risk than scheduled jobs. Published local ranges put simpler emergency cleanup around $300–$800 or more, and larger jobs higher. When it's safe, we give you the price before we start.
What counts as a tree emergency?
A tree on a house, car, or power line; a tree blocking your only way in or out; or a tree actively splitting or leaning over an occupied space. A limb down in the yard or a tree that fell in an open area can usually wait for a scheduled visit.
Can you tarp my roof after a tree falls on it?
Once the tree is off the roof, temporary tarping of exposed areas can limit water damage until a roofer makes permanent repairs. Insurers generally expect reasonable steps to prevent further damage, so ask about tarping when you call.
