A local Marietta family recently dealt with a dangerous situation after a powerful summer storm swept through their neighborhood. A mature oak unexpectedly toppled under the suddenly heavy winds. The upper limbs narrowly missed several windows and the front side of the house. However, the situation looked anything but stable, as the tree still had room to fall further at any moment.
The owners contacted SoutheastTree for immediate help with emergency tree removal. The expert team arrived quickly to assess the threat and take prompt action.

Rapid Response and Tree Hazard Assessment
Upon arriving on-site, SoutheastTree’s certified arborist performed a prompt tree hazard assessment. The purpose was to evaluate the continuing risk of the tree falling further and into the owner’s home.
With broken limbs and the main structure of the 20-inch diameter tree pressing dangerously close to the home’s windows, precise, fast action was critical.
SoutheastTree’s expert developed a plan and dispatched an experienced crew equipped with a bucket truck and industry-standard rigging tools. The plan called for carefully removing small portions of the tree closest to the house at first. The idea was to evaluate the stability of the trunk and the largest limbs as the process took weight off.
Storm Damage Removal With Precision and Care
Executing a delicate storm damage removal operation, SoutheastTree worked efficiently to eliminate the hazardous limbs and reduce pressure on the tree’s remaining structure.
The project took about six hours in total, and the team efficiently took the tree apart in small sections to avoid sudden collapse or shifting that could have crashed directly into the home’s forward-facing side.
