The Problem with Tree Emergencies
Storms in Canterbury can knock down large trees in seconds, crushing sheds, blocking driveways, or tearing through fences on lifestyle blocks and farms. Sometimes trees don't fall but lean dangerously or show cracks after high winds, creating urgent hazards requiring immediate emergency care. These situations aren't safe to wait on, and DIY attempts with fallen or damaged trees often make damage worse. Pressure-loaded limbs can send branches flying when cut incorrectly.
Finding qualified emergency care services proves difficult during storm events. Most tree companies don't offer genuine 24/7 availability, leaving property owners waiting days while dangerous trees threaten buildings or block essential access. Untrained operators lack proper equipment and risk further property damage or personal injury. Meanwhile, fallen trees continue blocking driveways, damaged trees threaten structures during each wind event, and insurance requires prompt professional documentation.
Our Emergency Tree Service Approach
Our qualified arborists and emergency care team have the training and tools to work fast and safely on urgent situations. We assess on arrival, secure sites, and remove or stabilize dangerous trees using heavy equipment including 17m boom saw, elevated equipment, winches, and specialized gear. We don't just hack trees down - we work with care to avoid further damage, preserve what's safe, and restore access quickly.
