(323) 606-0255For emergency tree removal in Georgetown, KY, Hernandez Landscaping responds 24/7 to trees down on homes, garages, and driveways. Our crews rig and lower loaded, tangled trees in controlled sections so nothing gets crushed further, then clear the debris and document the damage for your insurance.
When a mature oak or maple comes down on a roof, a car, or across the only way out of the driveway, waiting is not an option. Emergency tree removal is different work than a scheduled take-down — the tree is often under load, tangled, and resting on something it can crush further if handled wrong. Our crews are trained and equipped to relieve that load safely and get the tree off your property.
We rig and lower sections rather than cutting blindly, controlling every piece so we do not add to the damage. Trees leaning after root failure, split trunks, and limbs suspended in other trees are all high-hazard situations we handle daily during Central Kentucky storm season. We dispatch 24/7 from Georgetown and prioritize trees on occupied structures.
Once the emergency is resolved, we clear the debris, document the damage for your insurance claim, and can complete any remaining removal, stump grinding, or landscape repair.

Frequently Asked Questions
Our focus is safely removing the tree and making the site safe. Once the tree is off the structure we can help with a temporary cover over a roof opening where it is safe to do so, and point you to a roofer for permanent repairs. We document the damage throughout for your insurer.
Get everyone out of the affected area and away from any downed or sagging power lines, then call us and your insurer. Do not go up on the roof or try to move the tree — a loaded tree can shift suddenly. Our 24/7 crew is equipped to relieve the load safely; taking photos from a safe distance helps your claim.
Emergency work often costs more because it is after-hours, higher-risk, and requires careful rigging rather than a straightforward fell. We give you a clear estimate before we begin and document everything for insurance, which frequently covers removal when a tree damages a structure.
If a tree is entangled with live utility lines, that portion must be handled in coordination with the utility for safety. We secure the rest of the scene, advise you on contacting the utility, and complete the removal once the lines are safe.
We dispatch as fast as safe conditions allow from our Georgetown base, prioritizing trees on occupied homes. During widespread storms we triage by severity, so calling promptly matters.
