Why Us

When Every Minute Counts, Experience Matters

A tree on your roof or blocking your driveway isn’t a situation for a crew that’s never handled an emergency before. AT’s Tree Service has years of experience dealing with the most stressful, complex removals — storm-damaged trees hanging over power lines, uprooted trees on vehicles, and large sections lodged in structures.

We carry full liability insurance, which is critical when a tree has already caused damage to your property. Call us first, then your insurance company — we’ll help document everything.

24/7 Response
Tree emergencies don’t follow business hours. Austin is available around the clock — call any time and we’ll dispatch as quickly as possible.
Safe, Controlled Removal
Fallen or hanging trees require specialized rigging. Our team is trained to handle compromised, loaded, and structurally unpredictable trees safely.
Insurance Documentation
We provide detailed before-and-after documentation and can work directly with your insurance adjuster to support your claim.
Serving All of Frederick County
From Brunswick to Thurmont, we respond across the entire county — and neighboring Washington and Montgomery counties.
Emergency Situations

When to Call Immediately

These situations require same-day or immediate response — don’t wait.

01
Call Now
Tree on Your Roof
Structural damage is worsening every hour. Immediate removal prevents additional interior damage and safety risk.
02
Call Now
Tree on a Vehicle
The weight and potential fuel hazard requires professional extraction — do not attempt to move on your own.
03
Call Now
Hanging ‘Widow Maker’ Limb
A large hanging branch is unpredictable. Wind, vibration, or temperature changes can cause it to drop without warning.
04
Call Now
Tree Leaning Toward Structure
A sudden lean after a storm indicates root failure or trunk compromise — the tree could fall at any moment.
05
Same Day
Blocked Driveway or Road
Emergency vehicle access can’t be impeded. We prioritize clearance so you can get in and out safely.
06
Utility First
Downed Power Lines Involved
Do NOT touch or approach. Call BGE or Potomac Edison first, then call us — we coordinate with the utility company.
07
Same Day
Storm Damage Assessment
After any major storm, a professional assessment catches hidden damage — split trunks, root upheaval, or cracked limbs — before they become the next emergency.
08
Same Day
Tree on Fence or Shed
Even if there’s no immediate life safety risk, damage worsens with time and rain. Early response limits total repair cost.

We monitor storm activity actively and stage crews for rapid deployment as soon as it’s safe to work. During active lightning or high winds, we wait for conditions to stabilize — crew safety always comes first. We often begin dispatching within hours of a storm passing.
In most cases, homeowner’s insurance covers emergency removal when a tree has caused damage to a covered structure (house, garage, fence). If a tree fell without hitting a structure, coverage varies by policy. We provide full photo documentation and a written invoice to support your claim.
We provide a rough range based on your description, but emergency work almost always requires an on-site assessment before a firm price can be given — the complexity and access conditions make remote quoting unreliable. We arrive quickly and give you a price before any work begins.
Stay clear of the area — especially if there are power lines involved. Do not attempt to move the tree yourself. If there’s active structural damage to your home, cover exposed areas with tarps if it’s safe to do so. Document with photos before any cleanup.
Yes. If power lines are involved, we coordinate directly with the appropriate utility company. Never cut near a downed line — we wait for the utility to de-energize the line before approaching.
