A tree down on a car, a roof, or a driveway doesn't wait for business hours, and Summit Tree Service answers the phone 24/7 for exactly that reason. Iowa thunderstorms, straight-line winds, winter ice, and heavy snow put steady seasonal pressure on Ames' mature residential trees. 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 Ames, that often means a bucket truck and rigging gear for anything near Ada Hayden Heritage Park or in older neighborhoods with mature canopy, since those trees tend to fail in the largest, heaviest pieces.

From the Ames Crew

Iowa thunderstorms, straight-line winds, winter ice, and heavy snow put steady seasonal pressure on Ames' mature residential trees. In Ames, 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.
