Rapid storm damage response
After a storm, the priority is to make the site safe by securing fallen trunks, split limbs and hanging branches before further damage occurs.
Emergency Tree Work
24-hour emergency tree work in Sydney for storm-damaged, fallen and dangerously leaning trees. Rapid site make-safe, limb removal and clearance by qualified arborists.
Service overview
Who this service is for
Storms, high winds and saturated ground can turn a stable tree into an immediate hazard. Emergency tree work is about making the site safe first, then removing or remediating the tree. We help you get a rapid response from operators equipped for after-hours and dangerous conditions.
This service is for property owners with a fallen tree, a dangerously leaning trunk, a large split limb or storm debris blocking access. Safety and site make-safe are the priorities; a full removal can follow once the immediate risk is controlled.
SafeWork NSW procedures for hazardous trees
Contractors follow SafeWork NSW procedures for hazardous trees, using controlled dismantling rather than felling where structures or power lines are nearby.
Qualified arborist emergency assessment
A qualified arborist assesses the tree first, identifying which limbs need deadwooding and whether the remaining trunk can be saved.

What to expect from emergency tree work
After you call or enquire, the immediate risk is described and a contractor is dispatched as quickly as possible.

A full removal, pruning report or stump grind can be scheduled once the emergency is under control.
Common questions about emergency tree work
These questions come up often before a site visit.
What happens in an emergency tree situation?
Emergency tree work addresses storm-damaged, fallen or dangerously leaning trees that pose an immediate risk to people or property. A qualified arborist can secure the site, make the tree safe and then advise on removal or remediation. After-hours emergency call-outs may carry a premium.
Do you service the Eastern Suburbs for tree pruning?
Yes. We cover the Eastern Suburbs including Bondi, Randwick and Coogee for tree pruning, palm cleaning, hedge trimming and emergency tree work.
Do you service the Sutherland Shire for emergency tree work?
Yes. We assist Sutherland Shire property owners in Sutherland, Cronulla and nearby suburbs with emergency tree work, storm damage response and hazardous limb removal.
How much does tree pruning cost in Sydney?
Tree pruning in Sydney commonly ranges from about $300 for light, accessible work up to $2,500 or more for larger canopy pruning, crown reduction or deadwooding on mature trees. The cost depends on tree size, pruning type, access and the number of branches involved.
Do I need council permission to remove a tree in Sydney?
Many Sydney councils require a permit or development consent to remove or heavily prune protected trees under a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) or Development Control Plan. Rules vary by local government area and often use DBH (diameter at breast height, measured 1.4 m above ground) thresholds or protected species lists. Check with your specific council before approving any work.
