North Alabama storms — from spring tornadoes to summer thunderstorms and winter ice — regularly send mature trees down onto homes, cars, fences and driveways across Huntsville. Top of the Line Tree Services LLC handles storm-damage tree work as a priority and can usually be on site the same day.
The first thing to check after severe weather is whether anyone is hurt and whether the damage involves a power line. Never touch a downed tree that is on or near a power line — call the utility company first. Once the area is safe, take pictures of everything before it’s moved. Insurance adjusters and contractors will thank you.
Then call us. Storm calls in Huntsville usually come in waves — a big system will bring dozens of trees down across the county at once — so calling early gets you on the schedule sooner.
A tree that failed in a storm is under tension in ways that a healthy standing tree is not. A limb that looks harmless can be pinned between the roof and the trunk with hundreds of pounds of stored force; one wrong cut releases it violently. This is a common cause of injuries for people who try to clean up storm damage themselves.
Our crew is trained to read those tensions and cut in the right order so the tree comes apart in controlled pieces. We rig heavy sections down with ropes and use cranes on the largest jobs so nothing lands where it isn’t supposed to.
We can photograph the site as we find it and again after the tree is off the structure, which is often what homeowners insurance asks for. We do not act as insurance agents or estimate roof/structural damage — that’s a job for licensed contractors — but our part of the job (the tree) will be fully documented.
When the removal is done we haul away the wood and chip the brush. If a stump was left behind we can grind it down on the same visit or come back on a scheduled day.
