Storm Damage Tree Cleanup in San Antonio, TX

After the storm: fast, documented cleanup that helps your insurance claim.

Storm damage tree cleanup in San Antonio clears the broken limbs and downed trees after hail and wind, prioritizes the hazards over your house and access, and gives you the documentation your insurer will ask for.

San Antonio storms arrive fast and hit hard — spring hail, straight-line winds, and the occasional ice event that overloads brittle limbs. When the weather passes and your yard is full of broken trees and debris, Cowboy Tree Care And Services clears it safely and gives you the documentation your insurer will ask for.

Storm cleanup is rarely just 'cut the branch.' Damaged trees can be under tension, partially uprooted, or hiding cracks that make them dangerous. We assess before we cut, prioritize the hazards over your house and access, and work through the debris methodically.

Save the Evidence Before Cleanup

Save dated photos, your estimate, the invoice, and disposal details. We'll provide clear records of the work; your insurer decides coverage, so keep everything.

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:

  • Volume and spread of debris
  • Number and size of damaged trees
  • Hazard complexity (tension, structures, lines)
  • Access and haul-away distance
  • Documentation and claim-support needs

Why San Antonio Chooses Us for Storm Damage Tree Cleanup

Documentation first

Tension-aware cutting

Springloaded and partly failed trees are cut in the right order, safely.

Prevention pass

Storm Damage Tree Cleanup FAQs

Does homeowners insurance cover storm-damaged tree removal and cleanup?
It can — but your insurer decides coverage. Save dated photos, estimates, invoices, disposal details, and notes about when the storm damage occurred, then ask whether stabilization, temporary protection, debris removal, stump work, or additional tree work is covered. We provide the documentation adjusters typically ask for.
What should I photograph for an insurance claim?
Photograph the whole tree, the close-up damage, roof or vehicle damage, fences, gates, landscaping, some visible address context, and the debris — all from a safe location. Save dated photos, the estimate, the invoice, disposal details, and notes about when the storm hit. Confirm required documentation with your insurer.
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.
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 standards should a professional tree crew follow?
A professional crew should be able to explain ANSI A300 tree-care practices, ANSI Z133 arboricultural safety, and OSHA procedures for chainsaws, climbing, falling objects, chippers, and energized lines. Verify the city's Tree Maintenance License, current insurance, and any ISA Certified Arborist or Certified Tree Worker credentials before hiring.
