Emergency Tree Services Across Devon
DTG Trees & Grounds provides professional emergency tree services across Devon for fallen, damaged and dangerous trees that need urgent attention. Based in Dawlish, our qualified tree surgeons respond to emergency situations involving windblown trees, broken or hanging branches, partially uprooted trees and other storm-related damage affecting homes, businesses, roads and managed sites.
Emergency tree work can involve unstable timber, difficult access and significant weight or tension within damaged branches and stems, so it needs to be approached carefully. Our team has the training, equipment and experience required to assess the situation, make the area safer and determine the most appropriate way to deal with the affected tree.
Where removal is required, we can carry out controlled tree felling or sectional dismantling depending on the condition and position of the tree. If the tree can be retained safely, we can also advise on appropriate remedial work or further assessment.
What Is a Windblown Tree?
Windblow, also known as windthrow, occurs when strong winds cause a tree to uproot, partially uproot, break or fall. Storm damage can also leave branches or sections of the crown hanging or unstable even where the whole tree has not come down. Trees already affected by decay, root problems or other structural weaknesses may be particularly vulnerable during severe weather.
Windblown trees can pose several risks, including:
- Damage to Property: Fallen or unstable trees and branches can damage buildings, vehicles, fencing and other nearby property.
- Risk to People: Damaged trees can create a serious risk where branches, stems or root plates remain unstable or under tension.
- Further Movement: A partially uprooted or damaged tree may continue to move after the initial incident, particularly during further wind or poor weather.
- Blocked Access: Fallen trees and branches can obstruct roads, driveways, paths and entrances and may need to be dealt with urgently where access is affected.
Why Choose DTG for Emergency Tree Work?
Dealing with windblown trees requires more than just removing the tree. It requires careful planning, expertise, and specialised equipment to safely and efficiently address the situation. At DTG Trees & Grounds, we have the experience and qualifications to handle windblow trees of all sizes and conditions, ensuring minimal risk to you, your property, and the surrounding environment.
Fully Qualified and Experienced Team
Our team is trained and qualified to deal with uprooted and windblown trees, including operatives who hold the City & Guilds NPTC Level 3 Award in Severing Uprooted or Windblown Trees. This specialist training is particularly important where timber may be under significant tension or trees are unstable, partially uprooted or in difficult-to-access locations.
24/7 Emergency Services
Tree emergencies don't always happen during normal working hours. DTG provides a 24/7 emergency tree call-out service across Devon, including evenings, weekends and public holidays. When you contact us, we'll assess the situation and prioritise the response according to the urgency and risk involved.
Safety and Efficiency First
Emergency tree work often requires a different approach from routine pruning or removal. Depending on the situation, our team may use specialist climbing, rigging, winching or cutting equipment to control damaged sections of the tree and carry out the work as safely as possible. We assess the surrounding property, access and condition of the tree before deciding how the work should be approached.
Emergency Tree Removal & Site Clearance
Once the immediate tree work has been completed, we can clear the resulting branches, timber and debris from the working area as agreed. If the tree has been fully removed and you would also like the remaining stump dealt with, we can provide professional stump grinding as an additional service.

How Our Emergency Tree Call Out Service Works
Our process is designed to be as efficient and hassle-free as possible for you, especially in an emergency situation. Here’s how we work when you contact us for windblow tree removal:
Contact Us 24/7
If you have a fallen, damaged or unstable tree that needs urgent attention, call DTG and explain what has happened. If it is safe to do so, photographs can also help us understand the situation before attending.
Emergency Response
We prioritise emergency enquiries according to the level of risk, location and nature of the incident and will let you know what response we can provide.
Professional Assessment
On arrival, we assess the tree, surrounding area and any immediate risks before deciding on the safest and most practical course of action.
Making the Area Safe
Depending on the condition of the tree, the work may involve removing damaged branches, dismantling unstable sections or carrying out a complete tree removal. The approach will depend on what is required to deal with the immediate risk safely.
Post-Removal Cleanup
Once the emergency work is complete, we can clear the resulting branches and timber from the working area as agreed. Where a complete tree has been removed, stump grinding can also be arranged if required.
Advice and Prevention
Where appropriate, we can advise whether nearby trees would benefit from further assessment, pruning or ongoing management, particularly if they have also been affected by the same weather conditions.
