Large Branch Fell From A Tree in First Hill? We dispatch a local crew fast.

First steps — branch incident

Look up before you clean up. A limb that fell often means others are cracked, split at the crotch, or hanging. Don't stand under the tree while assessing.

What First Hill calls typically look like

First Hill sits in Central Seattle and is characterized by century-old street trees and courtyard landscaping. During Puget Sound windstorms — especially November through February — saturated soils and hard south winds combine to bring down big trees. Calls like “large branch fell” spike in these windows.

Insurance angle

Same rules as a whole-tree incident — coverage depends on what the branch damaged, not the size of the piece that fell.

Before you hire

Ask any contractor for proof of current license and general liability insurance before work begins on your First Hill property, and confirm coverage details with your homeowners insurance carrier. This is standard consumer guidance for any tree job.

FAQ

Should I have the whole tree looked at?
Yes — one failed limb often signals a structural issue with the tree. An assessment is worth it before the next windstorm.
Do you take the debris?
Standard emergency response includes cutting up and hauling the fallen material unless you ask otherwise.
