Tree emergencies in North Shore typically include: fallen trees on buildings, vehicles or blocking access; large hanging or broken branches that could fall; trees leaning dangerously after storms; trees or branches contacting power lines; split or cracked trunks following wind or storm events; and sudden lean or root plate lifting.

Our response time for North Shore emergencies typically ranges from 30 minutes to 4 hours, depending on current demand, your location within North Shore, and the severity of the situation. During major storm events affecting multiple properties, we prioritise based on risk assessment—situations involving immediate danger to people or major structural damage receive fastest response. We maintain communication throughout to provide estimated arrival times and any safety advice while you wait.

While awaiting our arrival: (1) Ensure personal safety by staying well clear of the damaged tree and evacuating buildings if there's risk of structural failure; (2) Where safe, take photos for insurance purposes; (3) If power lines are involved, stay at least 8-10 metres away and contact your electricity provider; (4) Keep children and pets away from the area; (5) If safe, move vehicles or valuable items away from the danger zone; (6) Avoid attempting any tree work yourself, even clearing small branches, as damaged trees can behave unpredictably and cause injury.

Emergency tree services in North Shore typically cost 30-50% more than standard tree work due to the urgent nature, after-hours service, and additional hazards involved. Costs range from $500-$5,000+ depending on the situation complexity, equipment required, and whether work is performed during business hours or after hours. Weekend and holiday callouts incur higher rates. We provide upfront pricing information before commencing work whenever possible, though in life-threatening emergencies, work may begin immediately with costs discussed after securing the situation.

Most home insurance policies in Australia cover emergency tree removal when trees have fallen due to storms or natural events and damaged insured structures (houses, sheds, fences). However, preventative removal of hazardous trees or removal of trees that have fallen without damaging structures is often not covered. We provide detailed documentation, photographs, and professional assessments to support your insurance claim. We recommend checking your specific policy details and contacting your insurer promptly after tree damage occurs.

Yes, we specialise in managing trees fallen on buildings and structures, which requires particular expertise and equipment. Our emergency teams use specialised techniques including crane-assisted removal, sectional dismantling, and controlled rigging to safely remove trees without causing additional structural damage. We work collaboratively with other emergency services when necessary and can provide temporary waterproofing or protection of damaged structures until permanent repairs can be arranged.
