Rowlett's location along Lake Ray Hubbard creates unique storm risk for residential trees. Wind off the lake is stronger and more sustained than inland. Storm surge during heavy rain events can saturate root zones. And the heavy clay soils throughout Dallas County become even more problematic near the water.

When a storm damages a tree on your Rowlett property, Tree Crew is ready to respond. We provide 24/7 emergency tree service throughout Rowlett and the surrounding Lake Ray Hubbard area.

Call (972) 999-3627 any time — day or night, weekends and holidays.

Higher wind speeds. Properties within a mile of Lake Ray Hubbard experience significantly higher wind speeds during storms than inland properties. Trees that might survive a storm in Garland or Mesquite can fail in Rowlett under the same conditions.

Soil saturation. Heavy rain events that cause the lake to rise can saturate the root zones of lakeside trees for extended periods. Saturated soil reduces the structural support provided by the root system, making trees much more likely to uproot during high winds.

Previous storm damage. Rowlett has been hit by several significant storms in recent years. Trees that sustained damage in previous events and were not fully assessed may have hidden structural problems that make them vulnerable to the next storm.

Call Tree Crew immediately if you have:

• A tree or large limb on your home, garage, or vehicle
• A hanging limb that could fall at any time
• A tree that has shifted or begun leaning after a storm — especially near the lake, where root failure is more common
• A fallen tree blocking your driveway or access to your property
• A tree in contact with power lines (call your utility company first, then call us)

Don't approach downed power lines. If a tree has fallen near utility lines, stay back and call 911 and your utility company before approaching the tree.

Document the damage. Take photos before any cleanup begins. Your homeowner's insurance will need documentation.

Call Tree Crew. We'll assess the situation, stabilize immediate hazards, and provide a written estimate for the full cleanup and removal.

Don't assume a standing tree is safe. Trees that appear stable after a storm can fail days later as the root system continues to destabilize. If a tree on your Rowlett property shifted or leaned during a storm, have it assessed before assuming it's safe.

Homeowner's insurance typically covers emergency tree removal when the tree fell on a covered structure. Tree Crew can provide documentation — photos, written estimates, and damage descriptions — to support your insurance claim.
