Storm Response Reviews
After Tropical Storm
"Called at 11pm after a pine fell across our driveway during a storm. Ferguson's had a crew there by midnight. They cleared it, cleaned up, and we could get out for work the next morning. Unbelievable response time."
— Baton Rouge Homeowner
Roof Damage Emergency
"A massive oak limb crashed through our roof during a thunderstorm. Ferguson's was there within an hour, tarped the roof, removed the limb, and documented everything for our insurance. They made a nightmare situation manageable."
— East Baton Rouge Resident
Post-Hurricane Response
"After Hurricane Ida, everyone was booked for weeks. Ferguson's had pre-staged crews and got to us within 48 hours when other companies were quoting 2-3 weeks. They cleared three trees from our property in one day."
— Denham Springs Homeowner
Insurance Claim Support
"The insurance documentation they provided was the best I've ever seen. Photos from every angle, written assessment, itemized invoice. Our adjuster approved the claim in 3 days. Made the whole process painless."

Emergency Tree Removal FAQs
How fast can you respond to a tree emergency in Baton Rouge?
For true emergencies (tree on house, blocking road, threatening power lines), our average response time is under 2 hours. During active storms, we triage calls by severity and begin dispatching crews as soon as conditions are safe. We maintain 24/7 phone coverage—no voicemail, no answering service.
Will my homeowner's insurance cover emergency tree removal?
In most cases, yes. If a tree falls on your home, garage, fence, or other insured structure, your homeowner's insurance typically covers the removal cost. If a tree falls in your yard but doesn't hit a structure, coverage varies by policy. We provide full photo documentation, written damage assessments, and itemized invoices formatted for insurance claims to make the process easier.
What should I do if a tree falls on my house?
First, ensure everyone is safe and evacuate if needed. Do not attempt to remove the tree yourself. Call us at (225) 278-1774 immediately. Then contact your insurance company to open a claim. Do not let anyone cut or move the tree before it's been documented—we photograph everything for your claim before we begin removal.
Do you work during hurricanes and tropical storms?
We pre-stage crews and equipment before named storms hit the Baton Rouge area. Once winds drop below 40 mph and conditions are safe for our crews, we begin responding to emergency calls in priority order. During major storm events, we run extended operations with multiple crews to clear as many emergencies as possible.
How much does emergency tree removal cost?
Emergency tree removal typically costs more than scheduled removal due to the urgency, after-hours response, and hazardous conditions involved. Costs range from $800 to $5,000+ depending on the tree size, location, and complexity. We provide upfront pricing before work begins—no surprises. Insurance documentation is included at no extra charge.
Can you help with my insurance claim?
Yes. We provide comprehensive documentation for every emergency job: timestamped photos from multiple angles, written damage assessment, detailed scope of work, and itemized invoices. This documentation package is formatted specifically for insurance adjusters and is included at no additional cost.
What if a tree falls on my property from my neighbor's yard?
In Louisiana, the responsibility typically falls on the property where the tree lands. Your homeowner's insurance would generally cover the removal from your property. If the neighbor's tree was visibly dead or hazardous and they were previously notified, they may be liable. We document everything to support your claim regardless of the tree's origin.
