Why 24-Hour Tree Services Matter in Gaston County

Gaston County experiences its fair share of weather-related tree emergencies. From spring storms to winter ice and summer hurricanes, falling trees and broken limbs can:

  • Damage your home, vehicle, or outbuildings

  • Block your driveway or access to the road

  • Create fire hazards if they hit power lines

  • Pose liability risks if they affect neighbors or public spaces

  • Lead to injury if not addressed promptly

These situations cannot wait until morning — and neither should your response.

Whether you're in Dallas, Stanley, Belmont, or rural Alexis, Huffstetler Tree & Lawn Services is on call 24/7 to handle it.

What Situations Call for 24-Hour Tree Removal?

Here are the most common scenarios where emergency tree service is essential:

1. Tree Falls on Your House

A large tree crashing into your roof is not just a structural issue — it can cause water leaks, gas line breaks, and safety hazards. Emergency removal is required immediately.

2. Limbs Hanging After a Storm

Hanging limbs may look stable, but wind or weight can cause them to fall at any time. These must be removed to prevent injury or property damage.

3. Trees Blocking Driveways or Roads

A tree that's fallen across your driveway can trap vehicles, disrupt your daily routine, and block emergency access.

4. Tree Entangled with Power Lines

These are extremely dangerous and should never be touched. If it’s a live power line, call 911 or your electric utility first — then call Huffstetler once it’s safe to remove the tree.

5. Large Trees at Risk of Falling

Trees that are suddenly leaning after a storm or heavy rain may need to be removed before they collapse.

6. Commercial Property Emergencies

Downed trees can shut down access to businesses, damage signage, or injure employees and customers. We provide emergency commercial tree services as well.

Common Questions About 24-Hour Tree Services

How much does emergency tree removal cost in Gaston County?

Costs can range from $500 to $2,500 or more, depending on tree size, location, urgency, and complexity. We provide clear estimates before work begins.

Does homeowner’s insurance cover emergency tree service?

If a tree causes damage to a covered structure like your house, garage, or fence, most policies will cover removal and repairs. Trees that fall without causing damage may not be covered.

Can you remove trees at night?

Yes. Our equipment includes lighting rigs and mobile safety gear, allowing us to work in low-visibility or overnight conditions when necessary.

Do you offer emergency service for businesses and HOAs?

Absolutely. We serve both residential and commercial clients, including business parks, apartment complexes, and neighborhoods with HOA restrictions.

Do you handle stump removal too?

Yes. If needed, we can provide same-day or next-day stump grinding following emergency tree removal.




Real Local Story: Overnight Tree Removal in Gastonia

In December 2024, high winds brought down a large pine tree onto the roof of a home near Robinson Elementary in Gastonia. The family inside was safe, but shaken — and unsure of what to do next.

They called Huffstetler Tree & Lawn Services at 2:18 AM. Within 90 minutes, our team was on-site, cleared the trunk and limbs from the structure, and provided tarping to prevent rain damage. Insurance later covered the cost.

Situations like this are exactly why we remain on call 24 hours a day — because tree emergencies do not wait for business hours.

Tree Emergency Prevention Tips

While not all tree failures can be prevented, the following steps help reduce the chance of needing emergency service:

  • Have your trees inspected annually, especially before storm season

  • Trim overhanging limbs away from your roof and driveway

  • Remove dead or dying trees proactively

  • Watch for signs of rot, fungus, or pest infestation

  • Avoid planting trees too close to structures

Our team also offers seasonal tree maintenance plans for homeowners and businesses.
