24/7 help with fallen trees, storm damage, dangerous branches and blocked access.
Emergency callout from
$500
Call any time if a tree has fallen, access is blocked, a large branch is hanging or a tree has suddenly started leaning. We prioritise emergencies by the immediate risk to people, property, access and electrical infrastructure.
Keep everyone away from the tree and explain what has happened by phone. We aim to respond within two hours, although severe weather, access and demand can affect timing. On arrival, the team first deals with the immediate danger, then explains whether more work is needed.
Call for emergency tree help when a tree or branch presents an immediate or developing danger that should not wait for a routine quote.
Call 000 first if anyone is trapped, injured, or exposed to an immediate life-threatening danger. Tree callouts are then prioritised by risk to people, property, access, power lines, and public areas.
Best for
Trees or large branches that have fallen across a driveway, access point, fence, vehicle, roof, or another part of the property.
How it works
The crew assesses how the tree is loaded and what it is resting on before choosing a controlled removal method that avoids unnecessary movement.
Best for
Split, suspended, storm-damaged, or partially attached limbs threatening a home, path, driveway, garden, or outdoor area.
How it works
The immediate area is kept clear while the branch condition, anchor points and safest access method are assessed.
Best for
Trees showing sudden lean, root-plate movement, cracking, splitting, or other signs of possible structural failure.
How it works
The team assesses the immediate risk and decides whether urgent work to remove the immediate danger, staged removal or another response is required.
Best for
Properties with multiple affected trees, hidden canopy damage, or uncertainty about what is safe after severe weather.
How it works
The site is checked for visible hazards and priority work. Photographs and clear job documentation can be provided for insurance conversations where relevant.

“Sam and his crew did a fab job this week. Efficient, friendly, accommodating and professional. Even understood who the real client was in the process. :-) Would certainly recommend.”
The Forest McGrath
“Sam was delightful to work with. Very efficient and always responded in a timely manner. His work trimming bamboo down was fantastic.”
Josh Hardy
“Sam and the team at Affordable Tree Services Northern Beaches were fantastic to work with. They were exceptionally professional, highly safety-focused, and completely customer-oriented throughout the entire process. We had a tricky tree removal very close to our neighbor’s boundary line. Sam and the crew were remarkably kind and considerate to our older neighbor throughout the job. To make the process as quick and easy as possible, they carefully took down a section of fence and put it back up perfectly when the work was done. On top of the brilliant service, Sam worked directly with us to find a very fair, competitive price. If you need reliable tree services on the Northern Beaches, I can't recommend them highly enough.”

Read all reviews on GoogleEmergency calls move from a quick phone assessment to controlling the immediate danger and planning any follow-up work.
By phone, the team asks whether anyone is in danger and whether the tree affects a building, access, power lines, vehicles, or public areas.
The callout is prioritised by risk and the reported site conditions so the attending crew can bring appropriate equipment.
On arrival, the immediate area is controlled and the tree, its load, surrounding damage, and safest access are assessed.
The urgent hazard is removed or stabilised using the method suited to the tree and what it is resting on or threatening.
Photographs and job documentation are provided where relevant, and any non-urgent removal, stump, or assessment work is quoted separately.
Straight answers about the work, pricing, access and next steps
Emergency tree removal costs depend on the immediate danger, tree size and condition, access, attendance time, equipment and the work needed to make the area safer. Our guide prices are a starting point. If the situation is urgent, call us now.
We aim to respond within two hours. Severe weather, road access, the location of the crew and demand can affect timing, so this is an aim rather than an arrival guarantee. Calls are prioritised by the risk to people and property.
Examples include a fallen tree on a building or vehicle, blocked property access, a large hanging branch, sudden lean, visible root movement or active storm damage. If you are unsure, call and describe what you can see from a safe distance.
Yes. Emergency calls and crew dispatch are available 24/7, including weekends and public holidays.
Move everyone away from the affected area and call 000 if anyone is trapped, injured or in immediate danger. Do not touch the tree or damaged electrical infrastructure. Call us when it is safe to do so and read our fallen-tree guide for the next steps.
Call 000 first if anyone is trapped, injured or in immediate danger. Contact the appropriate emergency or utility service for public roads or damaged electrical infrastructure. For urgent tree work on private property, call us so we can assess the situation.
Yes. We can dispatch a crew at night when urgent work cannot safely wait. The work completed on arrival depends on visibility, weather, access and the condition of the tree; any remaining non-urgent work can be planned afterwards.
Keep people and pets well away, do not cut or move the tree and avoid damaged structures or electrical infrastructure. Only take photographs from a safe position. Follow any instructions given by emergency or utility services.
Where relevant, we can provide photographs, a description of the work completed, and itemised invoicing to support your conversation with the insurer. Your insurer decides what evidence and costs it accepts, so confirm its requirements as early as possible.
