How We Handle Emergency Removals
When a tree is resting on a house or a car, the weight has to come off without causing more damage. We assess how the tree is loaded, then set rigging so sections can be cut and lifted or lowered in a controlled way rather than dropped. Hanging limbs caught in the canopy (often called "widowmakers") are cut and lowered too, since they can fall long after the main tree is down.
The goal on the first visit is to make the property safe: get the weight off the structure, clear the alley or driveway, and remove any part of the tree that's still threatening to fall. The rest of the clean up, including hauling, stumps and yard restoration, can be finished the same day or scheduled afterward. See storm damage clean up in Plano.
Why Plano Emergencies Are Tricky
The way Plano was built makes emergency tree work harder than in many places. Rear-entry garages mean a tree across the alley can trap every car on the street. Fences, garages and overhead lines are packed close together, so a fallen tree is rarely lying in open space. And the clay soil that swells after heavy rain can let a saturated tree uproot in high wind, even one that looked healthy the day before.
Thirty-plus years of removing trees from roofs, alleys and tight backyards in North Texas means there's a plan even when time is short.

What to Do in the First Hour
01
Get everyone out of the area
under or near the tree, and out of any room where a tree has come through the roof.
02
Stay away from any downed or sagging lines
Assume they're live and report them to Oncor.
03
Don't try to cut a tree off the house yourself
A trunk resting on a roof is loaded in ways that are hard to read, and it can shift or roll when a cut is made.

Nights, Weekends and Holidays
Trees don't fail on a schedule. The worst damage often comes during an evening storm, overnight or on a holiday weekend. Aguilar Tree Service answers emergency calls 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including holidays. When you call, tell us what's down, what it's on, whether any lines are involved and how we can reach the tree (street, alley or side gate). That helps us bring the right equipment the first time.
A tree down across a parking lot, an entrance or a building at an office campus, retail center, apartment community or HOA common area needs to be cleared fast to restore access and limit liability. We respond 24/7 to commercial properties throughout Plano, including Legacy, the Dallas North Tollway and the US-75 corridor.
Emergency Tree Service FAQs for Plano
Are you really available 24/7?
Yes. Emergency calls are answered 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including holidays.
What should I do if a tree is on my power lines?
Stay away from the tree and the lines, and contact Oncor. The utility has to make the lines safe before any tree work can begin.
Will my insurance cover emergency tree removal?
Many homeowner policies cover removal when a tree falls on an insured structure. Take photos before anything is moved. We provide photos and itemized invoices to support your claim.
Can you remove a tree from my roof without more damage?
That's the goal of every emergency removal. Sections are rigged and lowered in a controlled sequence instead of being dropped or dragged off.
Do you also clean up afterward?
Yes. Once the property is safe, we chip and haul the debris, and can grind the stump. See storm damage clean up in Plano.
