24/7 Emergency Tree Service in Lloydminster
Storm damage, fallen trees, hanging limbs — call 780-861-2801 any time, day or night.
Prairie storms don't book appointments. A summer thunderstorm with plow winds, a heavy wet October snowfall, or a winter ice event can put a tree through a roof, across a driveway, or onto a power line with no warning — and when that happens, you need someone who answers the phone.
Royal Tree Services provides 24/7 emergency tree response across Lloydminster and the surrounding area. We've cleared trees off houses, garages, vehicles, and fences at every hour, in every season, since 2015. If a tree has failed — or is about to — call 780-861-2801 and you'll talk to us, not a machine.
What counts as a tree emergency
- A tree or large limb down on your house, garage, vehicle, or fence
- A tree blocking your driveway, alley, or street access
- A large limb cracked and hanging over an area people use ('widow-makers')
- A tree leaning noticeably more after a storm, or soil lifting at its base
- A tree or branch into your private power line or service mast
- Storm debris that has to move before repairs, adjusters, or contractors can work
What to do first — before we arrive
Your safety comes ahead of the tree. If a tree is touching any power line, or a line is down anywhere near it, stay well back and call the utility first — ATCO on the Alberta side, SaskPower on the Saskatchewan side. Never approach a line or anything in contact with one.
Keep everyone (pets included) away from the damaged tree — partially failed trees and hung-up limbs are under tension and can move without warning. If the house is damaged, photograph everything before cleanup starts; your insurance adjuster will want those photos. Then call us at 780-861-2801.
How our emergency response works
When you call, we'll ask for photos if it's safe to take them — that tells us what equipment and crew the job needs. We give you an honest arrival window on the phone and a clear price before work starts.
On site, we make the scene safe first: relieving tension in loaded limbs, securing what's still hanging, and getting weight off structures without causing more damage. Storm-damaged trees are removed piece by piece with rigging — often the most technical work in the trade, because nothing is where it's supposed to be. Once the hazard is down, we clear access routes, and full cleanup can happen right away or later, whatever suits you and your insurance process.
Insurance, documentation, and billing
Storm damage to structures is usually an insurance matter, and we make that side easy: we document the scene, provide a detailed written invoice describing the work, and can speak with your adjuster directly if needed. We're fully insured with liability coverage and WCB, which matters more than ever on emergency work — an uninsured operator getting hurt on your property during storm cleanup is a nightmare you don't need.
What emergency work costs
Every emergency is quoted individually before work begins — no meter running, no surprise bill. Price depends on the size of the tree, what it's resting on, how much rigging is needed to get it off safely, and how much cleanup you want done immediately. After-hours response costs more than scheduled daytime work, but we keep it fair — we live here too, and most of our emergency calls become long-term customers.
Emergency Tree Service FAQs
How fast can you get here?+
For genuine emergencies in Lloydminster we can typically be on site within hours, any time of day or night. During widespread storm events we triage — trees on houses and blocked driveways come before fence damage — but we'll give you an honest arrival window when you call 780-861-2801.
A tree fell on my house. Who do I call first — you or insurance?+
If power lines are involved, the utility comes first (ATCO or SaskPower). Otherwise, take photos, then call both — us to make the site safe and your insurer to open a claim. Insurers expect you to prevent further damage promptly, so emergency tree removal rarely needs to wait for an adjuster.
Does home insurance cover emergency tree removal?+
Usually yes when the tree damaged an insured structure — the removal-from-structure cost is typically covered, subject to your deductible. A tree that falls in the yard without hitting anything often isn't covered. We provide detailed invoices and photos that make claims straightforward.
The tree is into a power line. Can you remove it?+
Not until the line is dealt with. Call ATCO (Alberta side) or SaskPower (Saskatchewan side) first — they'll de-energize or clear the line, and then we handle the tree. We can coordinate timing with the utility so it happens as one smooth job.
A big limb is cracked but still hanging. Is that urgent?+
Treat it as urgent — hanging limbs come down without warning, in the next gust or the next thaw. Keep people and vehicles out from under it and send us a photo; we can usually tell you over the phone how quickly it needs to come down.
