On a rural block the first problem after a big wind is often access, not the tree itself. A single limb across a long driveway can shut a family in, and the school run, the float and the feed delivery all stop until it is cleared. When you call we work out what is urgent, whether anyone is at risk, whether wires are involved, and whether the driveway is blocked, then we point the nearest truck at your gate.
If a tree has come down on a shed, a fence or across stock, the first job on site is to stop it doing more harm. That means releasing limbs that are hung up under tension, propping or strapping anything still moving, and clearing the access so you and anyone else who needs to get in can. Cutting only starts once the scene is stable. Hung-up limbs come down on rigging, not by cutting and hoping they fall the right way.
Storm work nearly always feeds into an insurance claim. We can write up a job report with photos, the date and time, and our Certificate of Currency, which is the paperwork your insurer asks for. Most Mount Evelyn home and contents policies cover the make-safe and removing the damaged material; clearing a dead tree before it falls, or fuel reduction, is maintenance and sits outside the claim.

Qualified arborists
Reading a tree is the real skill: is the wood sound, where is the weight sitting, what will the wind do mid-cut. We assess every trunk before deciding how it comes down, and we will tell you straight when a tree is worth keeping instead of cutting.
03
Same-day response
If a tree is moving or a limb is over your only driveway, say so when you ring and you go straight to the top of the list. Everything else still gets a call back before we knock off and a quote visit within a couple of days.
04
Locally based
We spend the working week on blocks between Lilydale, Silvan and Seville, so we already know the overlays, the clay driveways that grease up after rain, and how long a wet track needs before it will carry a loaded truck.
05
Careful standards
No topping, ever. Cuts go back to the branch collar or a sound lateral so the wound can close, we cap how much live canopy comes off in one visit, and habitat hollows stay put where it is safe to leave them.
06
Right equipment
A tracked machine crosses a wet paddock without churning it up, the basket keeps our crew out of brittle dead timber, and the chipper takes whole trunks so nothing is left sitting in a burn pile.

Q.01 How fast can you reach a hazard around Mount Evelyn?
For a genuine emergency, a tree on a structure, a blocked driveway or a limb on wires, we aim to be on site within a couple of hours of the call. For storm cleanup that is urgent but not dangerous, same day or the next morning is the usual turnaround out in the ranges.
Q.02 What should I do before you arrive?
Keep everyone well clear of the tree, especially if it is still moving or making noise. If any limb is near the service line, kill the mains at the meter. Take wide and close photos before anything is touched for your insurer. If wires are down, ring AusNet Services on 13 17 99 yourself first.
Q.03 Can the work go on a home and contents claim?
Usually yes, when the tree has hit an insured structure like the house, a shed, a fence or a vehicle on the property. The make-safe, the cutting and the cleanup tied to that damage are typically covered. Ring your insurer before any work so you have a claim number for our invoice.
Q.04 What about a dead tree that has not come down yet?
A dead tree leaning over the house or a track around Mount Evelyn is worth a same-day look, but bear in mind a planned dead-tree removal is usually treated as maintenance by insurers, not a storm claim. We can take it down off the machine before it lets go on its own terms.
