What brings trees down in Kansas
From 2016 through 2025 the National Weather Service logged 7,454 reports of damaging thunderstorm wind across Kansas’s 105 counties, and 2,050 of them mention trees, limbs or branches.
FEMA’s National Risk Index rates the risk as relatively high or very high from ice storms in 31 of 105; from strong wind in 8 of 105; from tornadoes in 8 of 105 counties.
If a tree is on a power line, the call goes to the electric utility first. EIA lists 149 electric utilities with service territory here; each county page names the ones that serve it.

Who licenses tree work
We did not find a Kansas state license that applies to tree work as such. That does not settle it for your address: cities and counties may license contractors or businesses. Before work starts, ask any company for a certificate of liability insurance and proof of workers’ compensation coverage.
Insurance questions
Whether a policy pays for a fallen tree, and how much, is in the policy itself, so the first call is to the insurer. The state regulator, the Kansas Insurance Department, takes complaints about how a claim was handled. Insurance and fallen trees
Tree down, or about to come down?
-
On the house or roofGet people out from under it, photograph everything, call the insurer, then a crew. -
On a power lineThe utility comes first. Stay away and treat the line as live. -
On a carPhotograph it where it lies. The car claim goes to the auto policy. -
On a fence or shedDamage to a fence or shed is often covered differently from the house. -
Across the driveway or roadOn the street it is the city’s call. In the driveway, check the policy first. -
After a stormHanging limbs, split trunks, trees on houses, and the ones that look fine. -
LeaningLifted soil or cracked roots at the base turn a lean into a warning. -
Dead or dyingDead wood is brittle and unpredictable, which is why it often costs more to remove. -
Split or cracked trunkTwo stems from one point, or a crack down the trunk, are common failure points. -
Hanging broken limbIt can fall without warning. Keep people and cars out from under it. -
A neighbor’s treeWeather is nobody’s fault. A tree the neighbor was warned about can be.

What you will be asked
- Where the tree is and what is under it or near it: the house, a power line, a car, a fence, the street.
- Whether it is standing, leaning, split or already down, and since when.
- Roughly how tall it is and how thick the trunk is at chest height. A guess is fine.
- Whether a truck can get close, or the tree is in a back yard behind a fence or a narrow gate.
- Whether there is damage your insurer should see, and whether you have called them yet.
- The address, and whether you own the property or rent it.
The line takes: tree removal, emergency removal after a storm, trimming and pruning, lot and land clearing, tree health checks, cabling and bracing, and brush and debris cleanup, for homeowners, renters and businesses. It is not for: jobs, equipment, firewood, tree services looking for work, or a price quoted over the phone without anyone seeing the tree.
