About emergency storm work
After a storm, the urgent work is making the site safe: removing limbs from roofs and driveways and taking down hangers before they drop. Insurers usually cover emergency make-safe work; photograph everything before the crew starts and keep the invoice itemised. Be cautious of door-knockers straight after storms, and check insurance before anyone climbs.
Getting quotes in Melbourne
Before booking a arborist for emergency storm work, ask whether the price includes GST, callout and materials, and get it in writing. The quoting spread between operators in the same suburb is bigger than most people expect, which is exactly why comparing pays.
Local knowledge counts
Being in the Capital Cities area gives Melbourne residents genuine choice for emergency storm work. That competition keeps quotes honest, provided you actually collect more than one before booking.
Quick answers
How soon can a tree be removed after quoting?+
Routine removals are usually scheduled within one to two weeks, faster in quiet season. If a permit is required, add the council's processing time, commonly two to six weeks. Genuine hazards, a cracked union or a tree moving at the roots, are treated as emergency work and handled in days or hours.
How much does tree removal cost?+
Small trees typically cost $300 to $800 to remove, mid-sized trees $800 to $2,500, and large or difficult-access trees $2,500 to $5,000 or more. Stump grinding is usually quoted separately, often $100 to $400 per stump. Access, powerlines and what happens to the timber move the price more than height alone.
Do I need council approval to remove a tree?+
Often, yes. Most councils protect trees above a certain trunk circumference or of particular species, even on private land, and fines for unapproved removal are substantial. In South Australia, regulated and significant tree rules apply based on trunk circumference. A reputable arborist will tell you when a permit is needed and can prepare the supporting report.
