Does insurance cover emergency tree removal in Utah?

In many cases, if a tree falls on a "covered structure" (like your home or fence), your homeowners insurance may pay for the removal. We provide the professional documentation and photos required by adjusters to help you process your claim quickly.

When is a tree situation considered an emergency?

A tree emergency is any scenario where a tree or limb poses an immediate risk to people, structures, or utility lines. In the high-wind and heavy-snow environments of the Wasatch Front, identifying these hazards early can prevent significant property damage.

​

Signs You Need Immediate Service:

• Structural Contact: A tree or large limb has fallen on your home, garage, or vehicle.

• Heaving Soil: The ground at the base of the tree is lifting or cracking, signaling an imminent tip-over.

• Severe Lean: A tree has suddenly shifted or tilted following a storm.

• Hanging Limbs: Large, broken branches ("widow-makers") are suspended in the canopy.

• Utility Risk: The tree is leaning on or touching power lines.

How do I get a tree taken down for free?

While professional tree removal involves significant labor and equipment costs, there are specific scenarios along the Wasatch Front where you may be able to have a tree removed at little or no cost to you. However, you may qualify for free removal in Davis, Weber, Morgan, or Utah Counties under these specific conditions:

​

• Power Line Hazards: If a tree is touching or leaning on primary lines, Rocky Mountain Power may remove it to prevent outages. Call 1-888-221-7070 for an inspection.

• City Right-of-Way: If the tree is in a "park strip" (between the curb and sidewalk), it may be the city's responsibility. Contact your local Urban Forestry department (e.g., Ogden or SLC) to verify ownership.

• Insurance Coverage: If a healthy tree falls on a "covered structure" (home, fence, or garage), your homeowners insurance may cover the cost of removal.

• Community Grants: Some local non-profits offer assistance for seniors or low-income residents facing hazardous tree emergencies.

What is the cheapest time of year to remove a tree?

The most cost-effective time to remove a tree in Morgan, Davis, Utah, Summit, Weber, and Salt Lake Counties is during the dormant season, typically between January and March. During these months, homeowners can often save 15% to 25% compared to peak summer rates. Because winter is generally the industry's slow season, scheduling is more flexible and pricing is more competitive. Additionally, removals are more efficient in winter; without foliage, our crews have a clear view of the tree's structure for faster cutting, and the frozen ground allows heavy equipment to move across your lawn without leaving ruts. While winter is the cheapest time for removal, it is also the healthiest time for pruning, ensuring your remaining trees are vibrant and safe before the spring growth begins.
