Storm Damaged Trees

Fast, Safe Removal of Fallen, Unstable or Hazardous Trees

When a tree is at risk of falling, or has already come down during a storm, it becomes more than just a nuisance. It’s a safety hazard. Whether it’s threatening your home, blocking access, or leaning dangerously close to powerlines or structures, it needs to be removed safely, quickly, and professionally.
At Waratah Professional Tree Care, we specialise in the removal of dangerous, storm-damaged, and hazardous trees across Newcastle and surrounding areas.
Our team is fully qualified, insured, and equipped to handle high-risk removals in even the most challenging environments, including confined spaces, steep slopes, and storm-affected sites.

When Is a Tree Dangerous or Hazardous?

You may need urgent tree removal if you notice:

  • A tree suddenly leaning or listing
  • Large limbs splitting, hanging, or falling
  • Cracks in the trunk or major branches
  • Uplifted roots or unstable soil
  • Damage from lightning, wind, or flooding
  • Decay, hollows, or visible fungal growth
  • Trees growing too close to houses, roads, or powerlines
  • A fallen tree that’s blocking access or causing property damage

If you’re unsure, contact our experienced tree professionals for advise on your next steps

1

Site Assessment

We evaluate the tree’s health, stability, and location, including access, nearby buildings, and fall zones.

2

Risk Management

Hazards are identified and controlled before work begins, using qualified climbers and certified gear.

3

Safe Removal

Branches are removed in stages using ropes and rigging to lower each limb safely. Nothing is left to chance.

4

Clean-Up

All debris is mulched or removed, leaving your yard clear, safe, and damage-free.

Difficult Access Tree Removal

Many dangerous trees are located in places with limited access:
Near rooftops. Behind fences. Overhanging retaining walls. On steep terrain.

Our team has the training and specialist equipment: including Elevated Work Platforms (EWPs), rigging systems, and low-impact tools, to access and remove trees safely without damaging structures or landscaping.

If other services say “too hard”, we get it done.

Waratah Professional Tree Care has trimmed our massive Iron Bark tree a number of times - last week being the latest. Steven is nothing short of amazing as he navigates up and down, from limb to limb, trimming off branches which are bigger than most trees. He and his crew are fantastic - left our tree with a great new "hair cut" which will keep it safe and left the yard tidier than it was when they arrived. Highly reccommend!

Waratah Professional Tree Care  has been pruning my trees for some years now and always do a great job. This time around I had two rogue trees at the front of my home which needed to be removed. The quote was a fair one and it all went ahead. I am simply in awe of this team,as I watched some of the time. They know exactly what they are doing and they do it well. They kept me informed on everything and were very respectful. Safety was an issue,  as one tree was very big. They managed it all very well. After all that, they trimmed my grass, tidied up - and my front lawn looked the best it has been in some time. I was advised as to what would happen in regard to the Tree stump. The team came one week after and sorted that out. I would recommend this team to anyone.  In fact, they will be doing more work for me soon!
