Storm-damaged trees, made safe

Lismore sits on the river flats, with large gums close to homes and sheds. After flood and storm seasons, there is a steady need to assess and remove damaged and leaning trees, often in a hurry. A split fork or a lifted root plate can turn a sound tree into a hazard overnight. We assess the risk first, then make it safe.

The local factors that move a quote

  • Flood and storm damage leaves split, hung-up and leaning trees. These are higher-risk jobs that need rigging and a clear plan, not a quick cut.
  • Large river gums sit close to buildings. Getting one down without hitting the shed is most of the work, and most of the cost.
  • Soft, saturated ground complicates heavy access. We may need mats or a smaller machine, which we scope before we quote, never mid-job.

Emergencies do not wait on a report

For a genuine safety emergency, call us, do not wait on paperwork. We run a 24/7 storm response and can make a dangerous tree safe fast. Once the risk is handled, we quote any further work in writing, line by line, so you can see exactly what you are paying for.
