  • Emergency Service FAQs

    How quickly can you respond to an emergency? +
    We typically respond to emergency calls within 60 minutes in Zumbrota, MN and surrounding areas. Response times may vary during severe weather events when multiple emergencies occur, but we prioritize life-threatening situations and property damage. Our emergency crews work around the clock, and we maintain multiple teams to handle high-demand periods during storms.
    Does insurance cover emergency tree removal? +
    Most homeowners insurance policies cover emergency tree removal if the tree has damaged or is immediately threatening a covered structure like your home, garage, or fence. Coverage typically doesn't apply to trees that fall in your yard without hitting anything. We work with insurance companies regularly and can provide detailed documentation including photos, estimates, and receipts. We recommend calling your insurance company as soon as possible after an emergency.
    What's the cost of emergency tree removal? +
    Emergency tree removal costs vary widely based on tree size, location, accessibility, complexity, and time of day. Expect emergency services to cost 1.5-2 times more than standard removal due to immediate response, after-hours work, and elevated risk. Simple emergency removals may start around $500-$1,000, while complex situations involving large trees, structures, or power lines can exceed $3,000-$5,000. We provide upfront estimates before beginning work whenever possible.

    "A massive oak tree fell on our garage during a storm at 2 AM. I called CDS and they had a crew here within 45 minutes. They worked through the night to remove the tree safely and prevent further damage. Professional, efficient, and fairly priced considering it was an emergency. Can't thank them enough they saved us from a disaster!"

    "High winds left a huge branch hanging over my kids' playroom. I was terrified it would crash through the roof. CDS came out on a Sunday afternoon and removed it safely within hours. The crew was careful, professional, and explained everything they were doing. Their emergency service gave us peace of mind when we needed it most."

    "Lightning split one of our large pines, leaving it leaning dangerously toward the house. Called CDS at 11 PM and they were here by midnight. They stabilized the tree that night and removed it completely the next morning. Worked with our insurance company and provided all necessary documentation. Outstanding emergency service would absolutely use them again."
