Hanging Limb Or Widowmaker In A Tree in Magnolia? We dispatch a local crew fast.

First steps — hanging limb incident
Rope off the drop zone and keep people out. Do not try to knock it down with a rake, ladder, or extension pole — hung limbs drop in unpredictable directions.
What Magnolia calls typically look like
Magnolia sits in Northwest Seattle and is characterized by wind-exposed bluffs and mature Douglas fir stands. During Puget Sound windstorms — especially November through February — saturated soils and hard south winds combine to bring down big trees. Calls like “hanging limb in tree” spike in these windows.
Insurance angle
Removing a hanging limb before it falls is typically not covered — it's preventive. Waiting for it to fall usually costs more, and can cost a claim.
Ask any contractor for proof of current license and general liability insurance before work begins on your Magnolia property, and confirm coverage details with your homeowners insurance carrier. This is standard consumer guidance for any tree job.

- Can you get it down without climbing?
