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 Newington

Quick answers
What is the difference between lopping and pruning?+
Pruning makes selective cuts to standards that preserve tree health and structure. Lopping in the crude sense means cutting branches back to stubs, which triggers weak regrowth and decay and often makes the tree more dangerous within a few years. Many quality businesses still use the word lopping, so judge them by their method, not the name.
Can my neighbour's tree branches be cut back?+
Generally you may trim branches overhanging your boundary back to the fence line at your own cost, but rules differ by state and protected trees still need approval. Offering the clippings back is a legal nicety in some states. For anything bigger than secateurs work, a shared arborist quote keeps both the tree and the relationship intact.
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.
