Emergency Tree Service in Dartmouth, MA
24/7 response for fallen trees and storm damage across Dartmouth's villages, from Padanaram and Nonquitt on the bay to North Dartmouth and Hixville
Had a tree fall in my parents yard. I called 1 tree emergency and they offered quick response and were able to take care of the tree removal and ensure everything was done safely. They helped explain the options and gave multiple solutions for us to consider. Appreciate the great work they did and would definitely call them again if the need arises. Highly recommend.

Dartmouth is a harbor village, a college town, and farm country at once.
Dartmouth stretches from Buzzards Bay well inland, and its villages face very different storms. Down south, Padanaram sits on Apponagansett harbor, with Nonquitt and Round Hill out on the shore, and the Slocums River and Demarest Lloyd State Park to the west. Those neighborhoods take the full force of a southerly blow off the bay. The bay's hurricane history is long: the 1938 Hurricane and Hurricane Carol in 1954 flooded and battered shoreline communities around Buzzards Bay, and Hurricane Bob hit the region hard in 1991.
Inland, Russells Mills and Hixville are farm fields, stone walls, and woodlots, with narrow roads lined by old oaks and maples. North Dartmouth, home to UMass Dartmouth, and Smith Mills along the Route 6 and State Road corridor are busier, with shopping plazas, neighborhoods, and street trees over parking lots and wires. Bliss Corner fills in between, with houses on smaller lots close to the New Bedford line.
The National Weather Service Boston/Norton office regularly includes southern Bristol County in High Wind Watches and Warnings, whether the wind is southwest in a tropical system or northeast behind a coastal storm. With that much ground and that many kinds of trees, a single storm can mean pines down in Padanaram and oaks across a back road in Hixville on the same night.
Field insight:
We plan Dartmouth jobs by village. On the shore in Padanaram and Nonquitt, it's wind-thrown pines in sandy soil and careful rigging around older homes close to the water. Out in Russells Mills and Hixville, it's big oaks and maples along stone walls and farm lanes, where the challenge is space for equipment and not tearing up fields or walls. Up in North Dartmouth and Smith Mills, it's street trees and yard trees over wires, cars, and houses.

Our Dartmouth Emergency Response Process
Clear steps. Fast action. Zero guesswork. Here's how we get your Dartmouth property safe again.
How We Handle Your Tree Emergency
Our streamlined process ensures quick response and efficient resolution of your tree emergency
Step :Emergency Call
Call (866) 320-7003 any hour. A live person takes your Dartmouth address and village, what the tree hit, and whether lines or roads are blocked.
Step :Dispatch
We don't climb or run cranes in damaging winds. Crews move once gusts drop to safe levels, and trees on occupied homes and blocked exits come first.
Step :Safety Assessment
A certified arborist checks the root plate, the lean, hung limbs, line contact, and the approach for equipment, whether that's a harbor lane or a farm road.
Step :Controlled Removal
The tree comes off the structure in rigged sections, with extra care around older homes in Padanaram and Nonquitt and stone walls inland.
Step :Property Protection
Mats, spotters, and slow lowering protect stone walls, lawns, fields, septic systems, and neighboring homes.
Step :Complete Cleanup
We chip, buck, and haul away the debris, or stack usable wood for you, following Town of Dartmouth disposal guidance.
Step :Insurance Documentation
We photograph and measure everything before and during removal and send the file to you and your adjuster.
Common Tree Challenges in Dartmouth
Every species fails its own way under load. Knowing those patterns lets us clear the hazard without starting a new one.
White Oak
Big old trees along stone walls and farm lanes in Russells Mills and Hixville; winter moth and spongy moth defoliation has stressed many
Red Maple
Common in wet woods and swamp edges; weak wood drops limbs over roads and homes once the ground is soaked
Eastern White Pine
Tall pines on wooded lots and near the shore; shallow roots and snapped tops in high wind
Japanese Black Pine
Planted near Padanaram, Nonquitt, and Round Hill; declining trees topple in onshore wind off Buzzards Bay
Norway Maple
Older street and yard trees in North Dartmouth, Smith Mills, and Bliss Corner; decay-prone unions split in wind and ice
Dartmouth Tree Regulations
Public shade trees along Dartmouth roads fall under the town Tree Warden under Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 87. Removing one normally requires a posted public hearing, with an exception for trees that are an immediate hazard. Dartmouth's older roads are lined with public trees, so we coordinate with the town when one is involved.
Work within about 100 feet of a wetland, beach, coastal bank, or salt marsh, including around Apponagansett harbor, the Slocums River, and the shore at Nonquitt and Round Hill, falls under the Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act, administered by the Dartmouth Conservation Commission. Emergency hazard removal is usually allowed, though the Commission may need to be notified. We'll tell you if that applies before we start.

Frequently Asked Questions: Dartmouth Tree Emergencies
Do you cover both South Dartmouth and North Dartmouth?
Yes. We cover the whole town: Padanaram, Nonquitt, Round Hill, and Russells Mills in the south; Hixville in the west; and North Dartmouth, Smith Mills, and Bliss Corner in the north. Call (866) 320-7003 any hour.
A tree fell across a stone wall on my property in Dartmouth. Can you remove it without wrecking the wall?
We try hard to. We lift the wood off in sections rather than dragging it, and we keep equipment off the wall. If a wall was already knocked down by the tree, we photograph it before we start so the damage is documented for your insurer.
Why do trees in Padanaram and Nonquitt fail differently than trees inland?
The shore neighborhoods sit on sandy soil open to Buzzards Bay, so saturated root plates let pines and oaks tip over in strong southerly wind. Inland in Russells Mills and Hixville, the typical failure is a big oak or maple dropping a limb or snapping, often a tree already stressed by insect defoliation.
Does homeowners insurance cover tree removal in Dartmouth?
Coverage depends on your policy. Many policies respond when a tree damages an insured structure like a house, garage, barn, or fence, and treat a tree that falls in a field or yard without hitting anything differently. Check with your carrier. We document the scene with photos, measurements, and arborist notes to support your claim.
Do I need permission to remove a fallen tree near the Slocums River or Apponagansett harbor?
Emergency removal of a tree that's down or an immediate hazard is usually allowed. Work within about 100 feet of a wetland, beach, or salt marsh falls under the Dartmouth Conservation Commission, which may need to be notified. Trees in the public way fall under the town Tree Warden. We'll tell you what applies before we start.
What should I do if a tree is on a power line in Dartmouth?
Treat every downed line as live. Stay well back, keep kids and pets away, and avoid metal fences and puddles near the tree. Report it to Eversource. Once the utility has made the line safe, our crew can remove the tree.
