Service
24/7 Emergency & Storm Damage Tree Service
We respond 24/7 across the Space Coast to fallen trees, hanging limbs, and storm damage, including after hurricanes when many crews stay home.
When a tree comes down on the Space Coast, you cannot wait until business hours. Tyrone's Tree Service responds around the clock to fallen trees, hanging limbs, and storm-damaged trees in Satellite Beach and across Brevard County. Hurricane season runs June 1 through November 30, and our crews work through the aftermath when others won't. For a non-urgent quote, you can also get a free estimate.
What counts as a tree emergency?
A tree emergency is any situation where a tree or limb threatens people, your home, or access. These cannot wait for a scheduled appointment. The damage and risk usually get worse, not better, over time.
Call right away if you see any of these:
- A tree on a structure — any tree or large limb resting on a roof, wall, vehicle, or fence.
- Hanging "widow-maker" limbs — broken branches caught in the canopy that can drop without warning.
- Blocked access — a fallen trunk across your driveway, walkway, or the only route out.
- A new lean or uplifted roots — a tree that suddenly tilts, especially past about 15 degrees, with soil heaving or roots exposed on one side. This is root-plate failure, and the tree can come down completely.
What should I do while I wait for the crew?
Keep your distance and let a professional handle the tree. Storm-damaged trees hold enormous stored energy in bent trunks and tangled limbs, and they fail in ways that are hard to predict.
A few simple rules keep you safe:
- Stay well clear of the tree and anything it is leaning on or touching.
- Assume every downed wire is live, and keep children and pets away from the whole area.
- Do not climb on the tree, cut hanging limbs, or run a chainsaw on storm wood — this is where most serious DIY injuries happen.
- If it is safe, photograph the damage from a distance for your insurer.
Property owners can be held liable when a known hazardous tree fails, so it pays to bring in an experienced arborist who carries insurance. Tyrone Benitez and our crew handle the cutting so you don't have to.
What is your post-storm process?
We work in three stages: assess the hazard, make the site safe, then remove and clean up. This order keeps everyone safe and prevents a damaged tree from causing a second accident.
1. Hazard assessment
An experienced arborist evaluates each tree for the things that turn cleanup into a danger — loaded limbs under tension, cracked or split trunks, and root-plate movement. We identify what must come down now and what can be saved.
2. Make safe
We remove the immediate threats first: limbs over occupied space, trees on structures, and hangers in the canopy. The goal is to make your home and access safe before anything else.
3. Remove and clean up
Once the site is stable, we finish the removal, clear debris, and leave your property clean. Where a tree is worth keeping, we move to careful restoration pruning instead.
Can a storm-damaged tree be saved?
Sometimes. Many trees that look ruined after a storm recover well with proper restoration pruning, so the right answer depends on where and how the tree is damaged, not how messy it looks.
The table below reflects standard arboriculture guidance, including UF/IFAS research on restoring storm-damaged trees.
| Usually remove if… | Often restorable if… |
|---|---|
| The lower trunk is cracked or broken | The canopy is damaged but main branches remain |
| Main stems are split apart | Broken branches are under about 4 inches in diameter |
| Major roots are severed | The trunk and root system are intact |
| The tree leans toward a house or other target | A small tree (trunk under 4 inches) was uprooted and can be reset |
For coastal properties, we also flush salt-affected trees with fresh water after a storm to limit further damage. Our arborist will give you a straight answer on what is worth saving.
Don't wait for the hurricane
The best emergency call is the one you never have to make. You cannot prune a tree safely once a storm is bearing down, so the work has to happen well before the season.
Structural pruning, removing dead or cracked limbs, and assessing big co-dominant-stem trees all reduce the odds of failure in high wind. Start with our Florida hurricane tree prep guide, and have trees over 15 feet evaluated by an arborist. Regular tree trimming and pruning through the year is the simplest insurance against storm damage.

Questions
Frequently asked
What should I do if a tree falls on my house?
First make sure everyone is safe and out of the affected rooms, and call 911 if anyone is hurt or if the tree is touching a power line. Do not try to move or cut the tree yourself. Call us 24/7, and photograph the damage from a safe distance for your insurer.
Do you offer emergency tree service after a hurricane?
Yes. We respond 24/7 throughout hurricane season and stay working through the aftermath, including after major storms when many crews are unavailable. We prioritize trees on structures, blocked access, and hanging limbs first.
Can a storm-damaged tree be saved?
Often, yes. Trees with an intact lower trunk and roots, where breaks are under about 4 inches, are usually restorable with proper pruning. We generally recommend removal when the lower trunk is cracked, stems are split, major roots are severed, or the tree leans toward your home.
How fast can you respond to a tree emergency?
We dispatch 24 hours a day, 7 days a week across Satellite Beach and Brevard County. Call us and an experienced arborist will assess the hazard and make your property safe as quickly as conditions allow.
Is a leaning tree an emergency?
A sudden new lean is, especially past about 15 degrees, or if the soil is heaving and roots are lifting on one side. That points to root-plate failure, meaning the tree could fall completely. A long-standing, stable lean is usually less urgent but still worth an inspection.
How can I avoid storm tree emergencies?
Prepare before hurricane season, not during it. Structural pruning, removing dead or cracked limbs, and having large trees assessed by an experienced arborist all lower the risk of failure. See our Florida hurricane tree prep guide to get started.
