Emergency Storm Response

Emergency vegetation services for post-storm removal and recovery.

Getting You Back in Power

A single storm or snap of a branch can make the difference between having power and losing it. It’s a stressful and urgent matter that our team is trained to tackle with safety and confidence. Our emergency storm response encompasses tree pruning; grinding down tree stumps; and the removal of trees that have been struck by lightning or damaged in storms, or that have fallen on structures and power lines.

Hear it From Our Clients

"Townsend Tree has established a good working relationship with Duke Energy. I always appreciate the open, honest and candid feedback I receive when we have phone calls or are able to meet in person. Their local leadership team is very proud of the work their crews do and have invited me into the field on many occasions so we could review the work together. They have also become the role model for contractors on how we operate in the new pandemic environment. On the scheduled Teams calls, most of the leadership team is on camera and engaged in the call. "

"Townsend has worked for Southeastern Indiana REMC for the 21 years that I have been here. We started a new Right of Way project four years ago to regain our easement, and Townsend has done a great job of staying on schedule and getting their work complete every year. They take care of problems if they arise, and no questions are asked if they caused the issue it is fixed with little to no input from me. They run a very good business for the work they do for us. I would recommend them to anyone needing great quality work done."

"I'd like to ... tell you what a good job Josh Griles and his crew did on my property taking down a danger tree for Southside Electric Cooperative. They did a great job getting the tree down safely and left my property very neat and clean! "

"Until you have a storm or something big happens in your state, you won't understand the feeling of seeing large fleets of company vehicles from other states coming to aid in the efforts of cleanup. Townsend Tree Service I see you. I mouthed a 'thank you' as I drove by, and one of the crew smiled and gave me a thumbs up. I'm grateful for you working alongside Duke Energy to help restore power and get our roads clear in our state. "

"After a fire in the top of a tree, GVEC sent out the crew from Townsend to trim the top of the trees away from the electric lines. They were all very efficient, professional and nice. While I hope to never have another fire, I would be happy to have this team back anytime."
