Tree down? Here's what to do right now
Take a breath. Once everyone's safe, this is straightforward.
- 1
Keep everyone clear
Move people, kids and pets well back from the tree and any hanging limbs.
- 2
Power lines? Stay back
If the tree is touching or near a power line, don't go near it. Call your power company or 111 first. Treat every line as live.
- 3
Don't try to cut or move it yourself
A tree under load can shift the moment you touch it. This is where people get hurt.

Grab a photo if it's safe
A quick shot from a safe distance helps us plan, and helps your insurance later.

What counts as a tree emergency?
If a tree has become an immediate danger, don't wait for business hours. Call now if:
Dead, overgrown or too-close trees that aren't an immediate danger don't need an emergency call. That's a planned tree removal, and you can sort it through a normal free quote instead.
A tree has fallen on a house, shed, fence or car
A tree or large limb is down across a driveway or road
A tree is leaning, split or lifting at the base and about to go
Wind has left hanging limbs over a path, deck or where people walk
A trunk has snapped or the tree has uprooted in a storm
How does Tree Tenders handle an emergency callout?
When you call, Justin gets the details that matter: what's down, where you are, whether anyone or anything is at risk, and whether power is involved. Then he heads out.
On site the tree is made safe first. The immediate hazard gets dealt with, hanging limbs are brought down under control, and anything sitting on a roof, fence or car is lifted or dismantled in sections so nothing gets worse. Once it's safe, it's cleared and your site left tidy.
It's the same skill as a planned job, done fast and calm under pressure. Being local helps too: we know Northland's storms and coastal wind, so a storm night is exactly the kind of call we're set up for.
"Justin is a master at his craft. Every movement, cut and drop is controlled and intentional."— Vivienne
What does an emergency tree removal cost?
How much does an emergency callout cost?
It's priced per job, based on what's down, how hard it is to reach and the risk involved. Even in an emergency you get a clear price before work starts, so there's no nasty surprise landing on top of an already bad day.
Will my insurance cover it?
Storm and tree damage is often claimable on your house insurance. Tree Tenders is fully insured with public liability cover, so the work is done properly and to standard. Keep your photos, and we can provide what you need for a claim.
