Storm country, honestly stated

NE Arkansas breaks trees twice a year

This corner of the state runs two damage seasons. Spring and early summer bring the straight-line winds and the tornado warnings, and they find every long limb and every root plate the wet ground has loosened. Deep winter brings the ice - and anyone who was here for the 2009 storm remembers what a half-inch of glaze does to a town full of mature oaks. Nights like those are why this page exists.

After a storm, the order of business at your house is fixed: people out from under anything hanging, power lines assumed live and left to Paragould Light Water & Cable, photos of everything for the adjuster, then the call. The storm damage checklist walks the whole sequence.

What jumps the line

  • Tree or limb on a house, garage, or vehicle
  • Cracked trunk or new lean over a target
  • Hangers caught over doors, drives, or sidewalks
  • Drive or entrance fully blocked

Down flat in the open yard? It is safe where it lies - it books next available at the standard rate, which saves you the emergency premium.

Storm questions, answered straight

What counts as a tree emergency?

A tree or limb on a structure, a car, or blocking your only way out. A trunk cracked or leaning over something it would hit. A big hanger - a broken limb caught in the crown - over anywhere people walk. Those calls jump the schedule. A tree down flat in the open yard is urgent to you but safe where it lies, and it books next in line at the standard rate.

What does emergency tree removal cost?

Storm work typically runs one and a half to two times standard rates, because it happens in the dark, in the rain, or under a tree that is still moving. A limb off a roof might be a few hundred dollars; a whole oak lifted off a house with a crane runs into the thousands and usually goes through your homeowner’s insurance. You still hear the number before the work starts.

Will insurance pay for storm tree damage?

When a tree hits a covered structure - house, garage, fence - homeowner’s policies generally pay for removal off the structure and the repairs, minus your deductible. A tree that falls in the open yard without hitting anything is usually not covered. Photograph everything before any cutting starts; the estimate here is itemized the way adjusters want to see it.

A limb is tangled in my power line - who do I call?

Paragould Light Water & Cable first, before any tree crew. Anything touching a service drop or a primary line is the utility’s to make safe; no reputable crew cuts near an energized line. Once PLWC has dropped or cleared the line, the tree work proceeds like any other emergency call.

Written estimates, before any saw starts

Storm damage? Skip the form and call.

The form works around the clock, but a tree on a structure is a phone call. Either way the estimate arrives itemized the way insurance adjusters want it. The number is (870) 212-4657.

  • The estimate is written and itemized - the number you accept is the number you pay
  • A tree resting on a roof, a car, or a power drop jumps the schedule
  • Haul-off is priced in the same estimate, never sprung afterward

Before the next front comes through

The cheapest storm work is the dead limb removed on a sunny day. A standard trim now beats an emergency call in January.
