What to Do if a Tree Has Fallen or Been Damaged
If a tree or large branch has failed, your first priority should be keeping people away from the affected area.
Keep clear of fallen, hanging or unstable branches.
Avoid entering areas beneath damaged trees or structures.
Never approach fallen powerlines or trees in contact with electrical infrastructure.
Do not attempt to cut or move large branches under tension.
If it is safe to do so, photograph the damage from a distance.
For life-threatening emergencies, call Triple Zero (000).
For emergency assistance during storms and floods, contact the Tasmania State Emergency Service on 132 500.

Urgent Tree Removal Near Buildings
Managing broken, hanging and damaged limbs.
Strong winds and severe weather can cause significant branch failures, leaving damaged timber suspended within the canopy.
These situations can be particularly challenging where branches are caught in surrounding trees or positioned above buildings and other structures.
We use specialist climbing, rigging and removal techniques where appropriate to manage storm-damaged branches.
Clearing fallen trees and substantial timber.
Fallen trees can block driveways, damage property or prevent access to important areas.
We undertake fallen tree removal, considering the condition of the timber, access constraints and any surrounding structures that may have been affected.
Specialist work in challenging locations.
When a tree is damaged close to a house, shed or other structure, the available space for removal may be limited.
Our experience in technical climbing and controlled rigging allows us to consider removal methods suited to these challenging environments.
Where the tree's condition makes climbing or conventional rigging unsuitable, alternative methods may be necessary.
Practical solutions for damaged trees.
Trees that have developed significant splits, cracks or structural failures may require urgent attention.
The appropriate response depends on the extent of the damage, the tree's condition and the surrounding environment.
We can discuss the available management options, which may include pruning, further assessment or removal.
Storm-damaged trees can be unpredictable. Broken branches, compromised stems and timber under tension can create significant hazards during removal.
At Hobart Tree Service, we bring specialist climbing and rigging experience to technically demanding tree work.
Our approach involves considering the condition of the tree, surrounding structures, access and the equipment required before undertaking the work.
We use professional arboricultural equipment and site-specific removal methods to manage a range of difficult situations.
Our focus is on identifying a suitable approach to the work, rather than rushing into a removal without understanding the hazards involved.
