Monsoon season brings much-needed rain, refreshing cool breezes, and a greener landscape. But it also comes with sudden thunderstorms, high winds, and heavy downpours that can put trees under significant stress. When these powerful weather events roll through, property owners often face an important—and sometimes urgent—question: do I need emergency tree service? Knowing when to call for emergency tree services can make the difference between a quick fix and major property damage.
While trees are resilient, severe weather during the monsoon season can quickly turn a healthy tree into a safety hazard. High winds can snap branches, lightning can strike trunks, and saturated soil can loosen roots. These problems don’t just affect the health of the tree—they endanger homes, power lines, cars, and even people nearby.
Uprooted or Leaning Trees – Strong winds and wet soil can topple trees completely, or cause them to lean dangerously.
Broken or Hanging Limbs – Large broken limbs can remain lodged in the canopy, ready to fall without warning.
Splits and Cracks – Storms may cause a tree trunk or major branch to split, creating structural weakness.
Power Line Interference – If branches fall across electrical lines, this can create immediate safety hazards.
Not every fallen branch requires a 3 a.m. phone call, but certain situations are serious enough to act fast. You should consider calling an emergency tree service immediately if:
A tree has fallen on your home, car, or blocking access on your property.
A trunk or large limb is cracked and in danger of falling at any moment.
Trees or large limbs are touching or leaning on live power lines.
You notice extensive root damage or a tree leaning more after the storm.
If the situation is truly hazardous, don’t attempt to handle it on your own—trained professionals have the equipment and expertise to remove fallen trees safely.
While you can’t control the weather, you can reduce your risk before and during monsoon season:
Schedule regular tree inspections with a certified arborist.
Prune weak, dead, or overhanging branches before storm season begins.
Watch for early signs of stress, like cracks at the base, hollow trunks, or excessive leaning.
Keep trees nourished and healthy, since strong trees withstand storms better.
Waiting to call for help can put your family and property at risk. It can also increase costs if more damage occurs. At PROS Tree and Landscape, our team responds quickly with emergency tree removal, storm cleanup, and preventative trimming to help you recover safely after Arizona’s monsoon storms.
For more general homeowner guidance on preparing for severe weather, the Arizona Emergency Information Network’s Monsoon Safety Guide is a helpful resource.
And if storm damage involves downed power lines, always contact your local utility provider such as SRP Power Safety Resources before attempting cleanup.
Emergency services are vital after a storm, but preventative care can minimize risks in the first place. Regular tree trimming services reduce weak limbs, while deep root fertilization strengthens trees against monsoon winds.
Monsoon storms can’t be avoided, but many tree emergencies can be prevented. Proactive care and timely inspections lower the risk of storm damage, while knowing when to call for emergency tree service ensures safety when hazards arise.
Your trees are an investment and a vital part of your property—make sure they weather the storm safely.
