A tree down on a car, a roof, or a driveway doesn't wait for business hours, and Oak Ridge Tree Experts answers the phone 24/7 for exactly that reason. Dubuque's bluff terrain, winter ice, heavy snow, and strong storms make sloped-lot trees especially unpredictable. which is when most of our emergency calls come in -- a limb through a window, a leaning trunk blocking the only way out of a driveway, or a whole tree resting on a fence line.

Every emergency call starts with a phone assessment so the crew arrives with the right equipment already loaded. In Dubuque, that often means a bucket truck and rigging gear for anything near the Mississippi River bluffs or in older neighborhoods with mature canopy, since those trees tend to fail in the largest, heaviest pieces.

From the Dubuque Crew

Dubuque's bluff terrain, winter ice, heavy snow, and strong storms make sloped-lot trees especially unpredictable. In Dubuque, the calls that come in during or right after a storm are almost always the trees that were already leaning or had visible deadwood -- if you've been putting off a trim, that's usually the tree that goes first.
