Overview

What's involved

When a tree comes down across a driveway, a roof, a road or a fence line, you need experienced people on site quickly with the right plant. We respond 24/7 for storm damage, failed limbs, uprooted trees and blocked access.

Our first priority is making the area safe. From there we clear what needs clearing, document the damage for your insurer or asset team, and advise on any remaining risk in the tree or those around it.

Benefits

  • Experienced arborists on the phone, not a call centre
  • Own trucks, chippers and excavators available immediately
  • Make-safe first, then staged clearance and repair support

Process

How we approach the work

  1. 01

    Call and triage

    We assess the situation with you over the phone and advise how to keep people clear until we arrive.

  2. 02

    Make safe

    On arrival we establish exclusion zones, stabilise or remove the immediate hazard and restore safe access.

  3. 03

    Clearance

    Debris is cut, chipped and removed, with damaged structures worked around carefully.

  4. 04

    Report and follow-up

    You receive photos and an arborist assessment of remaining risk, with follow-up work quoted separately.

Safety first

Storm work is high-risk work. Every callout starts with a dynamic risk assessment covering unstable limbs, tension and compression, and damaged services.

Clean-up promise

The area is cleared, swept and made usable again, with green waste removed and larger wood cut down or taken away.

Commercial capability

Councils and property managers can pre-arrange storm response coverage through our commercial arborist services.
