Use emergency services for injured or trapped people, fire, gas odor or an immediate public danger.
24/7 emergency intake
Emergency Tree Help Starts with a Safe Triage
For a fallen tree, hanging limb, storm damage or blocked access, send the urgent details so the team can assess the hazard and determine the next practical step.
- Urgent request available 24/7
- Photo and access review
- Safety hold for utility hazards
Service overview
Share the hazard without entering the danger area
An urgent tree event can involve unstable wood, damaged structures, blocked driveways or hidden electrical hazards. Keep people and pets away. From a safe location, photos and a short description help the team understand what fell, what it is touching and whether the site can be approached.
Giovanni's Tree Service provides a 24/7 intake form for urgent tree requests around Sacramento. Submitting a request creates a case for triage; it does not replace emergency services, utility clearance or an on-site assessment, and it does not promise a specific arrival time.
Assessment
Choose the first call based on the hazard
Tree crews can address tree work after the scene is safe. Immediate threats to people, public safety or utilities need the appropriate emergency authority first.
Treat every downed or contacted wire as energized. Stay far away and notify the utility company.
For a tree or limb hazard in a safe area, send the location, photos, access details and what the tree is affecting.
What to expect
A clear four-step process
Secure the area
Keep people, pets and vehicles away; do not walk beneath suspended limbs or touch anything near wires.
Send safe details
Use photos taken from a safe distance and describe damage, access, timing and any authority already notified.
Triage the request
The team reviews the information and contacts you to clarify safety, access and possible next steps.
Define authorized work
Any visit, stabilization, removal, documentation or cleanup proceeds only through an agreed scope.
Prepare for the estimate

Questions
Emergency Tree Service FAQs
Does the 24/7 form guarantee an immediate arrival?
No. The form is available at all times for intake and triage. Timing depends on safety, access, crew availability and the work that can be authorized after review.
Should I move fallen branches before taking photos?
No. Do not enter an unsafe area or move material near structures, wires or suspended limbs. Take photos only from a safe location.
Can you help document storm damage?
The request can include photos, visible damage and insurance or notice details. Confirm the exact documentation needed and what the agreed scope will provide.
What if a tree blocks the street?
Keep away and report an active public-road hazard to 911 or the responsible local authority first. Tree-service intake can follow once the scene is controlled.
