We start by assessing the hazards, then carefully remove the damaged sections in a controlled way.

Answers to common questions about storm damage tree removal in Hamilton. Still have a question? Get in touch.
Call as soon as it is safe for you to do so, so your job can be logged and prioritised. Our crew generally can't climb or rig safely in high winds or lightning, so some work has to wait until conditions ease. In the meantime, keep everyone clear of the damaged tree and any hanging limbs.
It depends on the circumstances and on each party's insurance, so contact your insurer first and talk to your neighbour. If the tree was obviously unsafe before the storm, that may affect responsibility, but disputes like this are generally civil matters. We can quote for whichever party is arranging the cleanup.
Often it can, if the damage is limited to broken branches that can be pruned back to sound wood. A split main trunk, a torn union between major stems or a lifted root plate usually means the tree is no longer safe to keep. We'll assess the structure after the storm and explain whether repair pruning or removal makes more sense.
Having large trees near buildings inspected before winter is the best start. Removing deadwood, reducing long or end-heavy limbs and dealing with weak unions can make trees less likely to fail in strong winds. It's also worth checking trees after any construction or drainage work nearby, as root damage can make them less stable.
Yes. Roots can be loosened, cracks can develop slowly and partly broken limbs may hang on for a while before dropping. Watch for a new or increasing lean, cracks in the soil around the base, wilting foliage or limbs caught in the canopy. If you notice any of these after a storm, have the tree checked before it fails.
