Emergency Tree Services Across South East Queensland
When a storm brings a tree down, or a tree becomes dangerous, you need a team that can respond fast. Treesafe’s emergency arborists provide urgent tree removal, storm damage clean-up and hazard assessments across Brisbane Southside, Gold Coast, Logan, Beenleigh, Jimboomba, Redlands, Ipswich, and Beaudesert & Scenic Rim.
Not every emergency means taking the whole tree down. Our arborists assess the risk first, then make the site safe: cutting back or securing broken and hanging limbs, clearing fallen trees and debris from roofs, driveways and fences, and removing trees that can’t be saved. With over 20 years of experience handling dangerous and storm-damaged trees, we respond quickly and leave your property safe and clear. Contact an experienced local team when you need help in an emergency.
Urgent Tree Removal and Storm Damage Clean-Up
Storms and high winds can bring down branches, uproot trees, and block access to your property. Our emergency tree responders act fast once conditions are safe to:
- Remove fallen, split or unstable trees
- Cut back or secure broken and hanging limbs
- Clear fallen trees and debris from roofs, driveways, fences and access ways
- Assess dangerous or leaning trees and advise whether they need to come down
If someone is in danger or a tree is on a power line, call 000 first, then call us.
Our trained crews arrive fully equipped with cranes, chippers, and rigging gear to restore safety quickly and efficiently, wherever you are across our service area.
How Our Emergency Tree Service Works
You call us, or send the form
Tell us what has happened, where the tree is, and whether anyone is at risk or a powerline is involved. Photos help.
We assess the risk
An arborist works out the safest way to deal with the tree and tells you what to expect, including whether the tree can be saved or needs to come down.
We make the site safe
Once conditions are safe to work, the crew cuts back or secures broken and hanging limbs, or removes the tree if it can't be saved. We use cranes or elevated work platforms where access is difficult.
We clear up
Fallen timber and debris are cleared from roofs, driveways and access ways, and we let you know about any follow-up, such as stump grinding or other trees that need checking.
What Customers Say About Our Emergency Tree Work
Don’t just take our word for it. Here’s what our customers have to say about working with Treesafe.
A tree in our yard split in half and fell on our roof during the election day storm. When we saw the damage on Sunday we called 5 firms and Treesafe were the only ones to even respond or answer our call. They responded immediately to our contact and were out the next morning to promptly, professionally and safely remove the tree. We are very grateful to the whole team for their professionalism and quick action in what was a distressing time for us. We have already booked in additional work with the team.

Tree fell on roof in a storm
Professional team tackled 6 large trees close to our home with ease. In appalling weather conditions without complaints. Highly recommend Sam and his team.
Tony Monks
Six large trees in bad weather
Once again a fabulous job completed by Sam and his excellent team. On this occasion very large trees near the house and shed were successfully removed and stumps ground out. Also the team cleaned up the remaining huge root balls of two large trees totally uprooted during the recent cyclone. From the quote for the job right through to the completion and tidy up the team worked seamlessly and professionally.

Protecting Your Trees Before and After Storm Damage
After a storm
If a storm has brought down branches or trees, don’t try to deal with it yourself. Even small branches can be heavy and dangerous, and there’s a real risk of injury or further damage to your property. Call Treesafe and our emergency arborists will respond quickly and take care of it safely. See our guide to handling large fallen trees safely.
If anyone is in danger or a powerline is down, stay well clear and call 000 or Energex on 13 19 62. Treat every fallen line as live.
Before a storm
Large, leaning, dead or heavily weighted limbs are the ones most likely to fail in strong winds. If you’re worried about a tree on your property, we can inspect it and trim or remove it before the next storm. See our storm season preparation guide.

FAQs About Our Emergency Tree Services
What qualifies as an emergency tree service?
Any situation where a tree poses an immediate safety risk, such as fallen or leaning trees, storm damage, or blocked access, qualifies as an emergency tree service.
When should I call an emergency arborist instead of booking a standard appointment?
If a tree is leaning, has fallen, has visible cracks, or is resting on power lines, a structure, or a vehicle, that’s an emergency situation, not a routine booking. Call us immediately so we can assess the risk and respond safely.
What's the difference between a dangerous tree and a routine removal job?
A dangerous tree isn’t always the one that’s already fallen or visibly leaning. Root damage from recent excavation or flooding, hollow or decaying limbs, and splits inside the trunk are all structural risks that aren’t obvious from a quick look. That’s why these situations call for a trained arborist’s assessment rather than a guess from the ground.
Who removes fallen trees?
Fallen trees should always be removed by a licensed, insured arborist rather than handled yourself. A fallen tree is often still under tension from surrounding branches or nearby structures, which makes it unpredictable to cut safely. A professional also carries insurance to cover any damage that occurs during the removal, protecting you if something goes wrong.
Are your arborists qualified and insured for emergency work?
Yes. Our arborists are AQF Level 3 qualified, we can draw on AQF Level 5 expertise for complex jobs, and we carry $20 million in public liability insurance. Treesafe is also a QAA Approved Contractor.
What are the risks of emergency tree removal services?
Emergency tree removal can be dangerous if handled without the right skills or equipment. Damaged or hanging branches may be under tension and can move unpredictably. That’s why our qualified arborists use specialised gear and follow strict safety protocols to protect people, property, and surrounding vegetation.
Should I call before or after a storm?
If you’re concerned about large or leaning trees before a storm, we can inspect and trim them to reduce risk. For emergencies after a storm, call us immediately once conditions are safe.
Do you provide emergency tree services for councils and commercial properties across South East Queensland?
Yes. Treesafe works with councils, schools, body corporates, and commercial property owners across Brisbane Southside, Gold Coast, Logan, Beenleigh, Jimboomba, Redlands, Ipswich, and Beaudesert & Scenic Rim to manage storm damage, dangerous trees, and site safety.
We handle large-scale or high-risk removals, including trees near roads, power lines, and public spaces. We provide fast response times, detailed reporting, and complete debris clean-up to keep disruption to business or community operations to a minimum.
