Tree Removal Sunshine Coast

Emergency tree removal is necessary when a tree poses an immediate threat to people, property or infrastructure. This urgency often arises after severe weather events like storms, which can cause trees to fall or become structurally unstable. Indicators of an emergency include broken or hanging branches, cracks in the trunk and roots lifting the sidewalk or driveway. If a tree is leaning dangerously, has large dead branches or is in contact with power lines, it's also considered an emergency.

Our arborists will remove your tree in sections to ensure a safe tree removal operation. We have climbing gear and elevated work platforms available to access your tree from all angles and ensure an efficient removal process. Give us a call on 0466 561 501 to get a quote!

Our team is equipped to handle a wide range of emergency tree issues.

We also deal with trees that have become hazardous due to their proximity to buildings, power lines or public pathways. No matter the complexity or challenge, our arborists have the expertise to safely and effectively manage the situation.

Safety is our top priority during emergency tree removal operations. Our team is trained in the latest safety protocols and uses state-of-the-art equipment to ensure the safe removal of trees. We conduct a thorough risk assessment before commencing any work, identifying potential hazards and implementing strategies to mitigate them. This includes securing the area, using appropriate protective gear and employing advanced rigging techniques to control the direction of tree falls.

While we strive to respond to emergency situations as quickly as possible, certain extreme weather conditions can pose additional risks. In cases of severe storms, lightning or high winds, we prioritise the safety of our team and the public. We assess each situation individually and proceed when it is safe to do so. Our team is experienced in handling challenging conditions and will make every effort to address your emergency in a timely and safe manner.

Our arborists conduct a thorough assessment of the tree's condition to determine the best course of action. Factors such as the extent of damage, the tree's health, age and the risk it poses to its surroundings are considered. If a tree can be saved through pruning or other arboriculture methods, we will recommend these options. However, if the tree is deemed too dangerous or beyond recovery, removal will be advised to ensure safety.

After a tree is safely removed, it can be processed into mulch, which is an excellent resource for landscaping and gardening. Alternatively, larger sections of the tree can be cut into firewood. This approach not only recycles the tree but also contributes to environmental conservation.

Emergency tree removal due to immediate safety concerns may not require prior council approval. However, regulations can vary depending on the location and the specific circumstances. Our team is knowledgeable about local council regulations and can advise you on the necessary steps.

This will depend on your insurance provider. Most should cover a tree falling over in bad weather and causing damage to your property. However, if it's found that the tree fell because of your negligence (i.e. a lack of care), your insurance company is unlikely to cover any damage. This is why it’s important to maintain all trees on your property.

This will depend on whether your tree is considered 'protected vegetation'. If it is, you will need permission from the Sunshine Coast council to cut it down or carry out extensive pruning.

Every situation is unique, which is why the cost of our services, including cutting down trees, depends on the size of your project. Contact us today to get your free personalised quote to solve all your tree care problems.

No, not until it's been assessed by a professional. We'll look at the tree and determine if it's dead or if there may be another issue at play. If we decide it does need cutting down, we'll handle this for you. 

We can also get rid of any excess shrubbery and vegetation. Plus, our mulching service can help improve the appearance of your garden after any dead trees have been removed.

If you notice that a tree has dead branches, discoloured leaves or has sores on its branches or trunk, it might be a sign that it needs removal. Other indicators include limited foliage, evidence of pests, cracked or browning parts of the trunk or the presence of parasitic shrubs. If your tree displays any of these symptoms, you should seek advice from an arborist to accurately diagnose the issue and determine the best course of action. Contact our expert arborists at Branch Manager Tree Services for a thorough assessment and peace of mind.
