Six calls we get in Cocoa after a storm
What an emergency looks like in Cocoa
Send photos if you can. A picture of the tree and what it landed on changes what we bring.
01Tree on the house
A trunk or crown on the roof or the pool cage comes off in sections from the boom, never dragged, so nothing shifts on the structure.
02Tree across the driveway
The grapple truck lifts the trunk and the lane is open before the rest of the tree is dealt with.
03Hanging limb
A limb split and hanging by bark will finish falling on its own. We cut it from the lift so it drops where we want it.
04Tree on a car or fence
Sections are rigged and lowered off the car or the fence, not dropped, so there is no second hit.
05Tree touching a power line
Call FPL first. Once the utility has made the line safe, we clear what is left. We do not cut anything touching a live line.
06Hurricane cleanup
After a named storm, the whole yard: limbs down, trees leaning, debris piled. One crew clears it and hauls it.
How it goes
From your call to a clear driveway
Call, then send photos
A photo of the tree and what it is resting on tells us what to bring. Email them to Tim@TRLawnTree.com.
Triage on the phone
We tell you what is safe to leave and what is not, and whether FPL or your insurer needs to be involved before we cut.
Load off first
Whatever is on the house, the car or the fence comes off first, in sections.
The rest comes down
Once the structure is clear, the tree goes to the ground from the lift. Split wood is never climbed.
Haul it
The grapple truck loads it and the wood leaves with us. Nothing is burned.
When we get there
What to do before we get there
Stay out from under it
A tree that has moved once can move again. Keep people and pets away.
Photograph everything
Pictures of the tree and the damage before anything is moved. Your insurer will ask.
Leave lines to FPL
If a limb is on or near a wire, call FPL and wait.
Do not cut the trunk
A loaded trunk releases its weight in a direction nobody can predict.
The equipment
Why a Cocoa emergency still needs the lift and the grapple
62ft Imer boom lift
- On the job
- Puts the saw at the top of the tree without anyone climbing it.
- Why it matters
- Dead, split or storm-loosened wood is not climbed. The lift reaches over roofs, cages and fences from the driveway.
Grapple truck
- On the job
- Lifts trunk sections and whole crowns off whatever they landed on and swings them straight into the truck.
- Why it matters
- The debris leaves with us the same visit, so there is no pile at the curb and nothing to burn.
Giant mini loader
- On the job
- Carries wood and brush out through a side gate or across a lawn on tracks.
- Why it matters
- It fits where a truck cannot and spreads its weight, which is what keeps turf and pavers whole.

Questions
Emergency tree removal in Cocoa questions
Something not here? Call 321-504-1054 during office hours or book a free estimate.
What counts as a tree emergency?
A tree or limb on a structure, a vehicle or a road, one hanging and about to fall, or one leaning at a house with the roots lifted. A tree down in an open yard is urgent, not an emergency, and can usually wait for a scheduled visit.
How fast can you get to Cocoa?
We are based in Cocoa, and during office hours emergency and storm calls go ahead of routine work. After a big storm every crew in the county is busy, so call early and send photos.
Do you work nights and weekends?
Our office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm. If you reach us outside those hours, leave a message and email photos, and we will call you back during office hours.
How much does emergency tree removal cost?
More than the same tree on a scheduled day. Our pricing guide puts storm and emergency work 20 to 60 percent above a planned removal. Every job gets an estimate before we start.
Will insurance pay for it?
Often, when the tree damaged a covered structure. The adjuster decides. Photograph everything before it is moved and keep the invoice.
Can you remove a tree touching a power line?
Not while it is touching a live line. Call FPL first. Once the line is safe, we remove the rest.
What happens to the wood?
It leaves with us the same visit, hauled or processed into mulch. We do not burn on site.
