Emergency Tree Services Albury-Wodonga
Same-day storm response across Albury and Wodonga — limbs split by summer storms, trees on roofs and unstable trunks after high winds on the floodplain.
The twin cities see two patterns of tree damage most often. Summer storms roll in quickly and split drought-stressed gums along the floodplain, often leaving half the canopy hanging over a fence or roof. Winter fronts push through from the west and bring down whole trees in waterlogged ground near the Murray. Either way, when we get the call we triage on the phone first — figure out if anyone is at risk, whether wires are involved, whether the tree is still moving — then route the nearest truck to your address.
If a tree has come down on a structure, the first thing we do is stop more damage happening. That usually means tarping a roof tear, propping or strapping a hanging section, and clearing enough access for emergency services or your insurer to get in. Cutting only starts once the scene is stable. Hung-up limbs in the canopy are lowered with throwlines and rigging rather than just dropped.
Most storm jobs involve an insurance claim. We write up a job report with photos, the date and time, the work done and our Certificate of Currency — the full set of documents your insurer asks for. Home and contents policies covering the twin cities generally pay for make-safe attendance and removal of material that hit an insured structure. Preventative work and stump grinding after a healthy tree are not usually included in the claim.

Emergency Tree Services FAQs
How fast can you get to a hazard across Albury or Wodonga?
For genuine emergencies — a tree on a structure, a limb on cables, a blocked road — we aim to have someone on site within a couple of hours of the call. For storm cleanup that is urgent but not immediately dangerous, same day or next morning is the usual outcome.
What should I do before the crew arrives?
Get everyone away from the tree, particularly if it is still moving or making noise. Kill mains power at the meter if any branch is near the service line into the house. Take photos from multiple angles before anything is touched — your insurer needs them. If overhead wires are involved, ring Essential Energy on 13 20 80 yourself.
Can storm tree work go on a home and contents claim?
Usually yes, when the tree has hit an insured structure — the house, a garage, fence or a car at the property. Make-safe attendance, cutting and debris removal tied to the damage are typically covered. Ring your insurer before any work begins so you have a claim number to put on our invoice.
What about a tree that hasn't fallen yet but looks unstable?
That is worth a callout regardless. A leaning red gum with a waterlogged root plate near the Murray, or a hollow-butt tree that has shifted after a wet winter, is a real hazard. We can climb it, assess the trunk structure and root plate, and either make it safe in place or remove the unstable section before it goes.
