The stage after make-safe: getting the block usable again once the immediate danger has been dealt with.
No obligation. Takes 30 seconds.
Tree Services Toowoomba connects Toowoomba and the Toowoomba region property owners with qualified, insured local arborists for storm clean-up and related tree work. Tell us what the tree is doing and we'll match it to an operator who covers your suburb — free quote, no obligation.
If you're claiming on insurance, everything should be photographed in place before it moves — the damage, the tree, and what it hit. Once it's cut up and stacked, the evidence is gone.
Keep any written assessment from the arborist who did the make-safe. Insurers ask for it more often than not.
Cutting fallen timber into manageable sections, chipping brush, clearing access and removing debris. Sometimes reduction work on neighbouring trees that took the same loading and are now suspect.
It's a volume job rather than a technical one, which is why it's usually quoted separately from the emergency response.
After a downburst, trees adjacent to those that failed have taken the same wind and may have partial root plate movement that isn't visible. Cracked or lifted soil on one side of the base is the thing to look for.
Worth an assessment while someone qualified is already on site.

Where this job typically sits. Access is usually a bigger cost driver than size.
| Job | Indicative price | What moves it |
|---|---|---|
| Small tree removal (under 5m) | $250 – $700 | Ornamentals, young wattles and small garden trees with room to work around them. |
| Medium tree removal (5 – 15m) | $700 – $2,000 | The standard suburban job. Access moves this number more than height does. |
| Large tree removal (15m+) | $2,000 – $5,000+ | Mature gums, camphor laurels and bunya pines, usually dismantled in sections. |
| Escarpment / crane-access removal | $3,000 – $8,000+ | Steep blocks off the Range where there is nowhere to stand a machine and nowhere to drop. |
| Tree lopping / crown reduction | $300 – $1,200 | Bringing a canopy back off a roof or a boundary, cut to standard rather than topped. |
| Tree pruning / deadwooding | $250 – $800 | Clearance work and taking dead limbs out of a living canopy. |
| Stump grinding | $150 – $500 | Priced on diameter and access. Small stumps from around $80 – $150 if the machine fits. |
| Emergency / after-hours callout | $500 – $3,000+ | Storm make-safe. What it costs depends on what the limb is resting on. |
| Arborist report | $300 – $600 | For insurance claims, property sales, disputes and development applications. |
| Green waste removal / full clean-up | $200 – $800 | Added to the base quote when you want the timber gone rather than stacked. |
Prices are indicative only. Every tree is different — access, species, what's underneath it and whether the truck can get near it all move the number. You get a fixed written quote after an on-site assessment.
