When a storm hits, it doesn’t check the clock.
Fallen trees, broken limbs, and property damage can happen in an instant — and when they do, you don’t need just anyone with a chainsaw. You need trained professionals who know how to handle dangerous situations safely, efficiently, and with care.
At Cartwright Tree Care, we’ve been responding to emergency tree calls across the Kansas City metro for more than 26+ years. Whether it’s a lightning-struck oak leaning toward your home or a massive limb blocking your driveway, our crews are on call 24/7 — nights, weekends, and holidays — ready to help when you need it most.
If you’re wondering whether your situation is an emergency — it probably is.
But here are some common scenarios where you should call us immediately:
🌪️ Storm Damage: High winds, ice, and lightning can split or uproot even healthy trees.
🏚️ Tree on a Home or Building: If a branch or trunk is resting on your roof, garage, or fence, don’t wait — call our team right away.
🚗 Blocked Driveways or Roads: A fallen tree can cut off access or pose a danger to vehicles and pedestrians.
⚡ Downed Power Lines: If a tree has fallen near power lines, stay far back and call 911 first — then our team to help coordinate safe removal.
🌲 Hanging or Split Limbs: Broken branches left suspended after storms can fall at any time, putting people and property at risk.
If it’s unsafe, unstable, or uncertain — that’s when Cartwright Tree Care steps in.
When disaster strikes, experience makes all the difference.
Our team of arbor consultants and emergency response specialists have handled every kind of tree situation Kansas City weather can throw our way — from midnight windstorms in Overland Park to ice-covered pines in Liberty and uprooted oaks in Lee’s Summit.
We don’t guess. We assess.
Every emergency begins with a rapid on-site evaluation, where we determine the safest and most efficient plan to remove hazards and prevent further damage. We use professional-grade equipment, advanced rigging techniques, and a safety-first mindset to protect both your property and our crew.
And because we’re fully licensed and insured, you can rest easy knowing your home and your trees are in the best hands possible.
After the storm passes, the real work begins. Our emergency team doesn’t just clear debris — we focus on complete recovery and restoration.
Our services include:
Safe removal of fallen or hazardous trees
Branch and debris clearing
Structural stabilization and risk assessment
Pruning and trimming to prevent future damage
Coordination with insurance claims when applicable
