CALL US: (479) 670-0566After a major storm, every minute counts; a hanging limb gets more dangerous, water finds its way into the roof, and your insurance clock starts ticking. Our crews mobilize fast across Fort Smith and the River Valley, with priority routing for homes with structural impact.
Storm-damaged trees are dangerous in ways healthy trees aren’t — spring-loaded limbs under tension, split trunks, trees leaning on power lines, broken branches caught in the canopy above. Our crews are trained for exactly this work, with the rigging and equipment to handle it safely.
Storm cleanup isn’t just the fallen tree, it’s the branches everywhere, the debris in the lawn, the limbs on the fence and shed. We haul everything away in one visit so your property is fully restored, not just “mostly cleared.”
We assess and resolve any immediate tree-related hazards ensuring your safety and those around you.
Every storm damage call we respond to in Fort Smith and the River Valley includes:
Most Arkansas homeowner policies cover tree damage when a tree falls on a covered structure — your house, garage, fence, or vehicle. Many policies also cover removal of fallen trees blocking a driveway. But the rules vary by carrier, and how you document the damage matters as much as what happened.
Before we touch anything, we photograph the scene from multiple angles. We document the tree species, point of failure, and what it landed on. We provide itemized invoices that break out removal, debris hauling, and any tarping or stabilization separately, exactly the format adjusters expect.
A quick note: filing a claim doesn’t guarantee coverage, and we’re tree pros, not adjusters. Always call your insurance carrier first to confirm what’s covered before authorizing major work.
Call us as soon as it’s safe to be outside. Here’s the right order:
For non-structural damage, such as trees down in the yard, broken limbs, debris cleanup, just give us a call. We respond as quickly as conditions allow.
Here’s what to expect when you call Brad’s Tree Care for storm damage in Fort Smith, AR:
Storm damage pricing varies more than any other tree work, as we’re dealing with trees in positions they weren’t supposed to be in. Most residential storm calls run $500 to $3,500, depending on what fell, where, and what it landed on. A fallen tree in an open yard might be $500–$1,000. A large tree across a roof or fence with crane work involved can run $2,500–$5,000+.
If your insurance is paying, we work directly with adjusters and provide the documentation they need. Free estimates either way — we tell you the number up front, before any work starts.

If the tree fell on a covered structure (house, garage, fence, vehicle), removal is typically covered, often with a deductible. Trees that fall in the yard without hitting anything are sometimes not covered. Always call your carrier to confirm before authorizing major work.
For homes with structural impact, we mobilize as fast as conditions and safety allow, often on the same day. After major regional storms, demand can stack up; we work priority cases first (trees on homes, vehicles, power-line proximity) before non-emergency cleanup.
Get everyone out of that part of the house, call 911 if anyone is hurt, photograph the damage from multiple angles, call your insurance company, then call us. Don’t go up on the roof or try to move the tree yourself. Storm-damaged trees are under tension and can shift suddenly.
We coordinate with Entergy and other utilities on any tree involving a downed or contacting line. We never cut into a line ourselves — utility crews have to make the line safe first. If a tree is on power lines, call the utility (1-800-9OUTAGE) before calling
Yes. Photo documentation of the damage and the work, plus an itemized invoice formatted the way adjusters expect. We’ve worked dozens of claims and know what the carriers need to process them quickly.
