Hazard Tree Removal FAQs
What counts as a hazard tree?
Any tree with significant lean, large dead limbs over a target (house, car, walkway), visible decay, root damage, or trunk cracks. After NorCal windstorms, partially uprooted trees and broken hangers are common hazards.
How fast can a hazard tree be removed?
True emergencies — a tree on a house or blocking a road — are usually handled same-day or next-day by companies with hazard-tree crews. Non-emergency 'this is going to fall eventually' work is typically scheduled within 1–2 weeks.
Will my insurance cover hazard tree removal?
Sometimes. If a tree falls on a covered structure (house, garage, fence), most homeowner policies cover removal up to a limit. Trees that haven't fallen yet are usually the homeowner's responsibility. Get the company's quote in writing before filing a claim.
What about trees from a neighbor's property?
If a neighbor's tree is leaning over your property and you believe it's a hazard, document it in writing and notify them. California law generally puts maintenance on the tree's owner, but liability gets complicated when a tree falls. Talk to a licensed arborist for a written hazard assessment.
