Dead & Dangerous Trees FAQs
How do I know if my tree is unsafe?+
Warning signs include new or increasing lean, cracks, fungus, hollow sounds, termite mud leads and dead branches. If in doubt, get us to have a look.
My neighbour's tree is dangerous — what can I do?+
Talk to your neighbour first. If they won't act, the City of Darwin or your local council may be able to advise. We can provide an assessment.
Can a dead tree be left standing?+
In the Top End, dead trees become brittle and termite-ridden quickly. Near homes, we recommend removing them before cyclone season.
Are you insured for hazardous removals?+
Yes, we're fully insured. [ADD INSURANCE DETAILS IF DESIRED]
