Weather emergency intervention
Uprooted tree, high broken branch, split trunk or tree lying on a house or a public road? After a storm, strong winds, a hailstorm or exceptional snowfall, our team of arborists sets off to secure the site and make your property safe again .
The emergency situations we handle
Storm, snow, black ice or hail weaken trees within hours. Here are the most critical cases where our immediate intervention makes the difference.
🌪️ Uprooted or overturned tree
- Uprooted roots, destabilised ground, immediate danger
- Felling with retention if the tree threatens a house or a road
- Backfilling the hole and complete removal of stumps and branchwood
🌳 Split or decayed trunk
- Longitudinal crack after severe impact or internal decay
- Risk of sudden breakage at height without warning
- Safety pruning, emergency cabling or directed felling
🪵 Hanging broken branch
- Main limb fractured and stuck in the canopy
- Unpredictable fall, danger to pedestrians and vehicles
- Rapid clearance by rope or crane, without damaging the tree
Our emergency intervention means
To intervene effectively, even in the most difficult conditions, our team is equipped with vehicles and specialised tools: snow removal, off-road, lifting and rescue.
Snow removal & access
Snow blade vehicle to clear access after a storm or heavy falls. Intervention on roads, car parks and blocked access paths.
4x4 off-road vehicle
Intervention on uneven, muddy or sloping terrain. Access to hard-to-reach areas where regular trucks cannot pass.
High-capacity trailer
Transport of large volumes: logs, branchwood, stumps. Complete site clearance in a single trip, without leaving waste.
Portable winches
Lifting and pulling heavy loads (trunks, stumps, vehicles). Secure anchoring for directed felling and correcting leaning trees.
Aerial work platform
Secure overhead work after storms: removal of dangerous branches, cabling, inspection of inaccessible crowns from the ground.
Rescue & clearance
Extracting stuck vehicles (snow, mud, debris) and transport on trailer.
Our emergency service area
Based in Vernier , we carry out emergency work across the canton of Geneva and canton of Vaud — from the city to rural municipalities.
🚙 Rapid deployment from our base
Preventing rather than suffering
Most tree emergencies are avoidable. Targeted maintenance, at the right time, drastically reduces the risk of breakage during storms and avoids costly emergency interventions.
Preventive sanitary pruning
Removal of dead wood, dying branches and poorly inserted main limbs before winter. Greatly reduces the risk of breakage under wind or snow weight.
Dynamic cabling
Flexible securing of weakened main limbs or included crotches. Stabilises the tree without condemning it, preserves its physiology and natural load-bearing.
Free annual diagnosis
Inspection to identify at-risk trees (decay, lean, root structure). Written report with prioritised action plan. Zero commitment, zero surprise.
