When heavy spring snow loads or intense summer microburst gusts bring down branches on roofs, driveways, or utility lines, our certified crews respond within 1 to 2 hours to secure your property safely.
Front Range weather is notoriously unpredictable. Sudden spring blizzards dump wet, heavy snow on leafed canopies, causing massive limb failures. In the summer, dry microbursts push high-velocity winds that tear root plates from sandy soils. When trees collapse onto roofs, decks, or block access roads, it creates high-stakes hazards requiring emergency arborist rigging.
At NoCo Services, we maintain a dedicated emergency dispatch team. Our climbers, crane operators, and arborists stabilize structural leaning trunks, cut away high-tension limbs safely, and clear access routes. We also catalog extensive photo documentation to help you submit clean, clear claims to your homeowner's insurance carrier.
We isolate and remove branches tangling with or threatening local service easements.
Calculated crane picks to lift multi-ton trunks off roofs without causing extra home damage.
A heavy storm broke a mature oak trunk, blocking a driveway and leaning on a garage roof in Loveland. Drag to see the completed arborist clearance and safety check:
Our operational checklist is built to keep crews, residents, and structures protected during active hazard zones:
Our standby operator triages your call, gathers site parameters, evaluates power lines, and dispatches a nearby heavy arborist crew.
Fallen limbs sit under complex pressure loads. We map wood compression zones to prevent limbs from kicking back during chainsaw cuts.
Using heavy loader grapple arms or crane picks, we secure the core trunk weight before clipping branch tips, reducing shift risk.
We run branches through commercial-grade wood chippers, clean sawdust and leaves from lawns, and provide detailed arborist logs.
We provide full-service outdoor management and emergency clearing for Larimer and Weld County properties:

We maintain standby crews 24/7 during severe weather alerts. For active hazards—such as a tree blocking a residential street, hanging over a main power drops, or leaning directly against a structure—we usually arrive onsite within 1 to 2 hours of dispatch confirmation.
In most cases, if a tree falls on a insured structure (roof, garage, fence) due to wind or snow, policy coverage covers the removal cost. If a tree falls in an open lawn without structural impact, policies may limit coverage limits. We document all worksites before cutting, providing complete photo logs and arborist notes to make your claims process seamless.
If a tree is touching high-voltage municipal power lines, you must contact Fort Collins Utilities or Xcel Energy first. Once utility crews isolate the line, our OSHA-trained rigging team can safely fell and chip the remaining structural trunk and branch debris.
