When a storm hits Wylie and a tree comes down on your property, every minute matters. A fallen tree on your roof, a hanging limb over your driveway, or a tree leaning dangerously toward your home after high winds — these are situations that can't wait until Monday morning.

Tree Crew provides 24/7 emergency tree service throughout Wylie and the surrounding Collin County area. Call (972) 999-3627 any time — day or night, weekends and holidays.

Not every tree problem is an emergency, but these situations require immediate attention:

Fallen tree on a structure. If a tree or large limb has fallen on your home, garage, fence, or vehicle, call immediately. The weight of a fallen tree can cause progressive structural damage, and the situation can worsen with additional rain or wind.

Hanging or partially attached limbs. A large limb that's broken but still attached to the tree — called a "widow maker" — can fall without warning. These are among the most dangerous tree situations and should be addressed immediately.

Tree leaning after a storm. A tree that has shifted or begun leaning after a storm may have root failure. These trees can fall at any time, even days after the initial storm.

Tree blocking access. A fallen tree blocking your driveway, a road, or emergency access to your property is an urgent situation.

Tree threatening utility lines. If a tree or limb is in contact with or threatening power lines, call your utility company first, then call Tree Crew for the tree removal once the lines are safe.

Wylie and the surrounding Collin County area experience significant severe weather. The spring storm season (March through May) brings the highest risk of tornadoes, straight-line winds, and large hail. Summer thunderstorms can produce damaging wind gusts with little warning.

Wylie's rapid growth means many neighborhoods have trees that were all planted at the same time — and those trees are now reaching the size where storm damage becomes a real risk. A 20-year-old live oak in a tight backyard can cause significant damage if it fails during a storm.

1. Stay safe. Don't approach a fallen tree until you've confirmed there are no downed power lines nearby. If you see sparking wires or smell burning, stay back and call 911.

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

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

4. Contact your insurance company. Tree removal after storm damage is often covered by homeowner's insurance, depending on your policy and the circumstances.

Homeowner's insurance typically covers tree removal when:

• The tree fell on a covered structure (your home, garage, or fence)
• The tree is blocking a driveway or doorway

Insurance typically does not cover:

• Removal of a tree that fell in your yard without hitting a structure
• Removal of a tree that is still standing but poses a risk

Tree Crew can provide documentation to support your insurance claim, including photos, written estimates, and a description of the damage.

Tree Crew is available around the clock for emergency tree service in Wylie. We serve all of Wylie and the surrounding Collin County area, including Sachse, Murphy, Allen, and Garland.
