Tree Removal Sunshine Coast

The time it takes to remove a tree depends on its size, location, and complexity. For a small to medium tree in an open area, removal can take 1 to 2 hours. Larger trees, or those close to buildings, fences, or power lines, may take half a day or more due to the need for specialised equipment, climbing, or sectioning the tree for safety.

Emergency tree removal is necessary when a tree poses an immediate threat to people, property or infrastructure. This urgency often arises after severe weather events like storms, which can cause trees to fall or become structurally unstable. Indicators of an emergency include broken or hanging branches, cracks in the trunk and roots lifting the sidewalk or driveway. If a tree is leaning dangerously, has large dead branches or is in contact with power lines, it's also considered an emergency.

Safety is our top priority during emergency tree removal operations. Our team is trained in the latest safety protocols and uses state-of-the-art equipment to ensure the safe removal of trees. We conduct a thorough risk assessment before commencing any work, identifying potential hazards and implementing strategies to mitigate them. This includes securing the area, using appropriate protective gear and employing advanced rigging techniques to control the direction of tree falls.

Our arborists conduct a thorough assessment of the tree's condition to determine the best course of action. Factors such as the extent of damage, the tree's health, age and the risk it poses to its surroundings are considered. If a tree can be saved through pruning or other arboriculture methods, we will recommend these options. However, if the tree is deemed too dangerous or beyond recovery, removal will be advised to ensure safety.

Emergency tree removal due to immediate safety concerns may not require prior council approval. However, regulations can vary depending on the location and the specific circumstances. Our team is knowledgeable about local council regulations and can advise you on the necessary steps.

This will depend on whether your tree is considered 'protected vegetation'. If it is, you will need permission from the Sunshine Coast council to cut it down or carry out extensive pruning.

Every situation is unique, which is why the cost of our services, including cutting down trees, depends on the size of your project. Contact us today to get your free personalised quote to solve all your tree care problems.

If you notice that a tree has dead branches, discoloured leaves or has sores on its branches or trunk, it might be a sign that it needs removal. Other indicators include limited foliage, evidence of pests, cracked or browning parts of the trunk or the presence of parasitic shrubs. If your tree displays any of these symptoms, you should seek advice from an arborist to accurately diagnose the issue and determine the best course of action. Contact our expert arborists at Branch Manager Tree Services for a thorough assessment and peace of mind.
