When a Tree Becomes an Emergency, Every Second Counts
A storm just rolled through Lynn, and now there’s a giant branch teetering over your driveway. Or maybe a tree cracked overnight, and you woke up to a trunk resting on your roof. These aren’t just weekend projects. They’re urgent, dangerous, and demand expert action.
At Zacarias Tree & Landscaping, we provide 24/7 emergency tree service in Lynn, MA, and surrounding towns. Our licensed, ISA-certified crews respond quickly to storm damage, fallen trees, and hazardous situations. With advanced equipment, years of expertise, and full insurance coverage, we make sure your property is safe without delay.
What Qualifies as a Tree Emergency?
Some tree problems can wait. Others can escalate into costly, dangerous situations in minutes. Here are common signs you need immediate emergency tree service:
- A tree has collapsed on a structure, fence, car, or power lines
- Large branches are cracked and dangling over walkways or rooftops
- Roots have lifted or shifted due to erosion, flooding, or soil movement
- High winds or lightning have split a tree down the middle
- A tree shows sudden leaning, cracked bark, or tilting after a storm
If you’re facing any of these, contact us immediately. Our team will arrive promptly, assess the risk, stabilize the area, and safely remove the threat. No delays, no guesswork, just fast, experienced help when it matters most.

Tree Hazards After a Storm
Storm damage isn’t always obvious. Here’s what to look for after high winds or heavy snow:
- Split trunks or cracked limbs
- Trees leaning more than before
- Uprooted roots
- Bark tearing or trunk damage
- Hanging branches high in the canopy
Even if it looks stable, hidden cracks can make a tree unpredictable. Our post-storm inspections are quick, affordable, and can prevent major costs later.
