An urgent tree inspection is for a tree that could cause harm or damage soon. Old, dead or storm-damaged trees can put homes and people at risk, especially in established Castle Hill and Hills District streets where large trees sit close to houses, fences and driveways.
Common triggers include a tree that has started leaning after strong wind or saturated soil, a split or cracked limb, dead or diseased growth hanging over a roof, or roots lifting paving and walls. Branches close to power lines also need prompt attention.
Not every concern is an emergency. A fallen limb, storm damage or a tree moving toward a building needs help straight away, and the 24/7 emergency team can be reached on 0475 463 597. Routine concerns, such as overgrown branches or a tree you simply want checked, are inspected during standard hours, then the options are discussed, from pruning to removal, and the work is scheduled accordingly.
