The foothills cop wind hard. A westerly funnelling up off the flat or a strong northerly through the bush will load up a big old eucalypt and drop a major limb overnight, often the brittle dead wood high in the canopy. When that happens we triage by phone first, work out whether anyone's in danger, whether wires are involved, and whether the tree is still moving, then send the nearest truck to your address.

If a tree has hit the house or come down across a driveway, the first job on arrival is stopping it getting worse. That usually means tarping a torn roof, propping or strapping anything still moving, and clearing the driveway so you can get in and out and your insurer can do their part. Cutting only starts once the scene is stable. For limbs hung up in the canopy we use throwlines and rigging to lower them in pieces, never cut and hope.

Storm jobs nearly always run through insurance. We write up a job report with photos, the date and time, what we did, and our Certificate of Currency, the documentation your insurer asks for. Most Ferntree Gully home and contents policies cover the make-safe and the removal of the damaged material. Replanting and stump grinding usually don't qualify unless they're tied to the damage.

Emergency Tree Services FAQs

How fast can you get to a hazard in Ferntree Gully?

For a genuine emergency, a tree on the house, a limb on wires, a driveway blocked, we aim to be on site within a couple of hours of the call, often quicker close to town. For storm cleanup that's urgent but not dangerous, same day or the next morning is the usual.

What should I do before you turn up?

Get everyone clear of the tree, especially if it's still moving or making noise. Switch off mains power at the meter if any limb is near the service line. Take wide photos and close-ups before anything is touched, your insurer will want them. Ring AusNet Services on 13 17 99 yourself if wires are involved.

Can the work go on a home and contents claim?

Usually, when the tree has damaged something insured like the house, the garage, a fence, or a car at the property. The make-safe, the cutting and the cleanup tied to that damage are typically covered. Ring your insurer before any work starts so you've got a claim number for our invoice.

What about a tree that hasn't fallen but looks ready to?

That's worth a same-day look regardless. A leaning gum on a Ferntree Gully slope that has shifted since the last blow is a real hazard, especially an old hollow-butt tree. We climb it, check the root plate and the trunk, and either make it safe in place or take out the unstable section before it lets go.
