⚠️ Tree Emergency Right Now?
Don’t wait. Don’t go near the tree. Don’t try to move it yourself.
When a tree comes down in the middle of the night, you don’t have time to call around and compare quotes. Escamilla Tree Service runs a 24/7 live emergency dispatch — call anytime, day or night, holiday or weekend, and you’ll get a real person who can have a fully equipped crew rolling to Marietta within the hour.
We’ve handled thousands of emergency calls across metro Atlanta in 15+ years: trees through roofs in East Cobb, oaks across power lines on West Side, pines split by lightning near the Marietta Square, root failures in saturated soil after spring rain. We know what to do, and we know how to do it safely — protecting your property, our crew, and (most importantly) you and your family.
When to Call for Emergency Tree Service in Marietta
Call us immediately if:
- A tree has fallen on your house, garage, vehicle, or fence — even if no one is hurt, structural damage usually gets worse the longer the tree sits.
- A tree or large limb is blocking your driveway or street — fire department and ambulance access matters.
- A tree is leaning dangerously after a storm — a partially uprooted tree can fall fully at any moment.
- A limb is hanging in the canopy (“widow maker”) — extremely dangerous. Do not stand under it.
- A tree is touching or has fallen on a power line — call Georgia Power FIRST (1-888-891-0938) to de-energize the line, then call us.
- Lightning has split a major tree — split trunks can fall apart unpredictably.
- You smell gas or hear a hissing sound near a fallen tree — leave immediately, call 911, then call us once it’s safe.
Power line danger: NEVER approach a tree that’s touching a power line, even if the line looks dead. Energized lines can shock you through the ground. Stay back at least 30 feet, call Georgia Power, then call us.
Cobb County’s Storm Reality
Marietta and Cobb County sit in a high-risk zone for severe weather. Most of our emergency calls come from:
- Spring & summer thunderstorms — peak season March through August. Microburst downdrafts can snap mature pines like matchsticks.
- Tornadoes & tornado warnings — Cobb County is on the edge of “Dixie Alley.” We’ve responded to multiple confirmed tornado events.
- Tropical system remnants — late summer/early fall, saturated soils from hurricane remnants cause root-ball failures, even in healthy trees.
- Winter ice storms (rare but devastating) — when they hit, the weight load brings down branches and entire trees across the county.
- Lightning strikes — Cobb is in one of the most lightning-prone areas of the US. Strikes can split trees instantly or kill them silently.
What Happens When You Call
Live Dispatch Answers
No voicemail, no robot. You get a real human who gathers the basics: location, what happened, immediate safety concerns. We dispatch the right equipment based on the situation.
Crew On-Site Fast
Most Marietta emergency calls get a crew on-site within 60–90 minutes. We’re based in Austell — close to all of Cobb County. We bring chainsaws, rigging, bucket truck, and crane on the truck if needed.
Safe Stabilization & Removal
We stabilize the situation first (tarps if there’s a roof breach, traffic control if it’s in the road), then remove the tree using rigging or crane work to prevent further damage.
Insurance Documentation
We photograph everything before, during, and after. You get a detailed itemized invoice that works with your homeowners’ insurance claim. We’ve worked with every major insurer.
What to Do BEFORE We Arrive
- Get everyone away from the affected area — including pets. Don’t go inside a room that has a tree through the ceiling.
- If a power line is involved, stay 30+ feet back and call Georgia Power first (1-888-891-0938).
- If there’s gas smell, leave the property and call 911.
- Take photos from a safe distance — these help with insurance claims.
- Don’t try to move the tree yourself — fallen trees are under tremendous stored tension. Cuts can release energy violently.
- Call your insurance company as soon as it’s safe — they’ll guide you on next steps.

Frequently Asked Questions
How fast can you get to my house in Marietta after a storm?
Typical Marietta response time is 60–90 minutes. During large-scale storm events when we’re handling dozens of calls, response can extend to 2–4 hours — but we prioritize trees on houses, blocked roads, and power line emergencies first.
Does my homeowners’ insurance cover emergency tree removal?
Usually yes, if the tree fell on a covered structure (house, garage, fence). Insurance also typically covers the cost of removing the tree from the structure (though removal of a fallen tree that didn’t hit anything is often out-of-pocket). We work with your insurer and provide all the documentation they need.
What’s your emergency rate?
Emergency calls carry a higher rate than scheduled work because we mobilize crews and equipment immediately — including nights, weekends, and holidays. Pricing depends on the job; we give you a number before we start work whenever possible. For life-safety emergencies, we move first and quote during.
Do you handle trees on power lines?
For trees touching primary high-voltage lines, Georgia Power must de-energize before we can work. We coordinate directly with them. For secondary service drops to the house, we can often handle removal with proper PPE.
What if a tree fell on my car?
This is usually a comp claim under your auto policy, not a homeowners’ claim. We can remove the tree carefully to minimize additional damage, then your auto insurer takes it from there. We provide photos and documentation.
Can you tarp my roof if a tree breached it?
Yes — temporary tarping is part of emergency stabilization. We secure the breach so further rain doesn’t damage your interior while you wait for a roofer.
What if it’s just a hanging branch — not on a structure?
Still call. A hanging “widow maker” branch is one of the most dangerous tree situations there is — it can fall without warning and seriously injure anyone underneath. We treat hangers as emergency-priority work.
Do you work on weekends and holidays?
Yes — 24/7/365. Emergencies don’t take Christmas off, and neither do we.
