When Northern Rivers weather turns wild, that familiar tree on your property suddenly becomes a threat. One minute it’s fine, but the next, it’s on your roof, blocking the drive or tangled in powerlines. When trees turn dangerous, our on-call arborists roll out with cranes, EWPs and flood-rated rigs. We stabilise, dismantle and clear hazards, lodge insurer photos, and contact wildlife carers if animals are found, all before dawn breaks.
DANGEROUS TREES, CALM PROFESSIONALS
A fallen tree can suddenly block farm access, business entries or public pathways. Flood-prone soils, blackout powerlines, midnight call-outs, Northern Rivers conditions demand more than backyard chainsaws. Our AQF 5 arborists triage each site, liaise with SES if required and file insurer-ready reports so your claim isn’t delayed. What you can expect:
30+ YEARS IN NORTHERN RIVERS STORMS
Insurance paperwork can be a real headache. After an emergency, you receive detailed photographic evidence and formal arborist reports outlining tree failure and damage, often required by insurers. We can also liaise directly with assessors to help streamline your claim process.
Your emergency gets attention from Certified arborists (Cert III & AQF Level 5), trained in rapid response. Our specialised fleet resolves dangerous situations with cranes and EWPs for high access. This includes securing trees or difficult tree removals, as well as always respecting local wildlife and environmental rules.
Quick Action For Safer Spaces
A fallen tree on your property or unsafe limbs dangling after strong winds are a risk. Waiting can lead to more property damage, critical access being blocked, or even council fines for unmet compliance. Ask us how to spot the signs of a troubled tree.
Your family’s safety and your home’s structure are top priority. Get fast removal of fallen trees from roofs, driveways or fences, stopping water damage.

When a tree emergency strikes, Northern Rivers weather can leave you with urgent questions. Clear information is key. Here’s some expert advice on common concerns. For immediate help, please call our emergency lines: (02) 6621 8801 or 0428 800 300.
Our team will get to you as soon as we can, prioritising the most urgent and high-risk situations first. After major storms, we often receive multiple callouts at once, so we triage based on safety and access. We regularly attend emergencies across Lismore, Ballina, Casino, Alstonville and Evans Head and always do our best to keep you informed if delays occur.
Generally, yes. The majority of Northern Rivers emergency tree work claims are cleared when our comprehensive documentation pack (including GPS-tagged photos, Safe Work Method Statements and an AQF-5 arborist's signature) is submitted to the insurer's portal. We also attach a formal tree report so underwriters can tick the ‘qualified contractor’ box. You can also ask us about making your insurance claim smoother after a storm.
Absolutely. During significant weather events, the SES typically isolates power and manages traffic control. Our role is then to safely rig, section and clear the hazardous tree. We log the joint incident number, which can be included in your reports archive for future reference. If the main trunk needs later removal, or if it's a larger site requiring commercial site preparation, we schedule that as a follow-up.
Protecting local fauna is a priority. Our crews use thermal scopes to locate any tree hollows. If micro-bats, possums or bird nests are present, licensed WIRES carers are engaged to safely relocate them, adhering to the NSW Biodiversity Act's 50-metre radius guideline. Woodchips not suitable for habitat piles are recycled into garden-ready mulch.
Yes, safety is meticulously managed. We illuminate the site with 180,000-lumen light towers. Limbs are dropped according to AS 4373 (Pruning of Amenity Trees) calculations for safe load distribution and we cone off a 1.5-tree-height exclusion zone. RMS Blue-Card traffic controllers are used if road access is affected. For follow-up after an emergency, we can also do stump grinding or offer preventative pruning and maintenance to stop repeat hazards.
One call brings cranes, arborists and insurer paperwork to your door at any hour.
