24/7 EMERGENCY SERVICE IN RUTLAND: WHAT TO KNOW
When a tree comes down in Rutland, stay clear of wires and call 911 if anyone is hurt. We found no Rutland-specific storm records, but regionally the December 2008 ice storm coated the Worcester Plateau in ½ to 1 inch of ice. Chapter 87 does not prevent trimming, cutting or removing a tree that endangers people traveling on a highway, so a true roadside hazard can be handled right away.
Rules change, so confirm with the town before work starts. Full local rules and sources are in our Rutland tree service guide.

24/7 EMERGENCY SERVICE FAQ: RUTLAND
Can a dangerous tree along a Rutland road be cut right away?
Chapter 87 does not prevent trimming, cutting or removing a tree that endangers people traveling on a highway, so a true roadside hazard can be handled right away. In Rutland the DPW Director serves as Tree Warden: public shade tree removals start with the town's online application, the Tree Warden decides whether a hearing is needed, and the applicant covers hearing, tree and stump removal costs. Call the utility for anything touching wires.
Has Rutland had storms that damaged a lot of trees?
We found no Rutland-specific storm records, but regionally the December 2008 ice storm coated the Worcester Plateau in ½ to 1 inch of ice. We answer (508) 320-9080 24/7 for emergencies.
Where does storm debris go after cleanup in Rutland?
Rutland is not part of the Asian longhorned beetle quarantine, so the beetle rules do not limit moving wood from a Rutland property; the regulated communities in October 2026 are Worcester, West Boylston, Boylston and part of Auburn. We haul debris away as part of cleanup.
