What to do after a storm

Fallen trees and hanging branches are dangerous. Here's the order that keeps everyone safe.

  1. Stay clear of power lines

    If a line has come down, stay well away and call Energex on 13 19 62, or Triple Zero (000).

  2. Keep people and pets back

    Hanging limbs and leaning trees can move without warning. Keep everyone away until the tree is made safe.

  3. Call us, 7 days

    Tell us what's come down and where. If you're claiming on insurance, take photos before anything is moved.

  4. We make it safe and clear up

    Fallen and uprooted trees removed, broken limbs made safe, debris cleared and the yard cleaned up.

Storm and emergency clean-up

We clear fallen trees and hanging branches safely, remove the debris and help prevent further damage to your property.

  • Fallen and uprooted trees removed
  • Broken and hanging limbs made safe
  • Debris cleared and the yard cleaned up
  • Green waste recycled into mulch

If the tree can be kept safely, we'll tell you. Broken and hanging limbs can be removed and a damaged crown reduced; see tree pruning. If it can't, see tree removal.

Before storm season

The best storm clean-up is the one you don't need. We can assess the trees on your property and recommend practical steps to reduce the risk from extreme weather, such as removing deadwood or reducing a crown.

See tree health assessment and tree pruning.
