Southeastern Connecticut experiences real, damaging weather. Nor’easters bring heavy, wet snow that breaks branches under weight. Summer thunderstorms can bring 60–80 mph winds. Late-season tropical systems bring saturated ground and uprooted trees. Ice storms cause widespread damage by adding constant weight across entire canopies.
When storms hit, trees fail fast. They land on homes, block roads, or leave dangerous hanging limbs in place. In these situations, you need a crew that answers the phone and responds immediately.
H&H Tree Service provides 24/7 emergency tree service in Ledyard and across southeastern Connecticut. We operate a full emergency fleet and respond day or night.

Emergency Tree Situations That Require Immediate Response
Some situations are true emergencies and should be handled immediately for safety and property protection:
- A tree has fallen on a house, garage, barn, shed, or other structure
- A tree has fallen on a vehicle
- A tree or large limb is blocking your driveway or only access point
- A tree is leaning suddenly or significantly after a storm, especially with visible root movement or cracked soil
- A large hanging limb (widow-maker) is stuck in the canopy and could fall at any time
- A visible crack has formed in a major trunk or branch union
- A tree is in contact with a power line
If a power line is involved, contact your utility provider first and do not approach the area until it has been confirmed safe.
Situations That Can Wait Until Morning
Not every storm-related issue requires immediate emergency dispatch. In some cases, waiting until morning will result in faster service and standard pricing.
These include:
- Trees down in open yard space with no structural damage
- Small or medium branches scattered across the property
- Fence or landscaping damage without safety risk
- Broken branches in the canopy with no hanging limbs or active movement
What to Do Before We Arrive
Do
- Take photos and video of all damage before any cleanup begins
- Keep people and pets away from the affected area
- Contact your insurance company if a structure was hit
- Move vehicles only if it is safe and does not require passing under damaged trees or wires
Do Not
- Do not attempt to remove or cut storm-damaged trees yourself
- Do not approach anything near or touching power lines
- Do not hire unknown storm crews without verifying insurance and credentials
Storm conditions often bring out uninsured or unverified contractors. Always confirm proper insurance before any work begins.
