Don't Try to Clear It Yourself
A freshly fallen tree looks like a chaotic pile of branches, but there's a lot going on that you can't see. Bent trunks and compressed branches store enormous amounts of energy. Cut in the wrong spot and a trunk can kick sideways or a branch can spring back hard enough to seriously injure you. The root plate lifting out of the ground can leave a deep crater, and the trunk might be resting against a structure under massive tension.
Our crew responds quickly to fallen tree call-outs across Kelso, Eglinton, West Bathurst, South Bathurst and the wider Bathurst area. We read the scene, figure out where the stored energy is, plan the cutting sequence, and take the tree apart systematically. Every cut is deliberate.
Common Scenarios We Deal With
Trees across driveways — can't get in, can't get out. Trees on roofs, verandahs, carports. Trees that have flattened the boundary fence. Uprooted trees leaning on the neighbours' trees or tangled in power lines. Trees down across footpaths and roads.
Bathurst experiences strong winds and storms which can damage mature trees. When a big storm hits Bathurst, these events stack up fast and we're experienced at managing high volumes of emergency work across the Central West simultaneously. Properties near Mount Panorama and in established suburbs like Kelso see the most fallen tree incidents because the trees are older and bigger.
Clean-Up That Goes Beyond the Chainsaw
We don't just cut the tree up and leave. We deal with the whole aftermath. The root plate gets removed or ground down. The crater left behind gets backfilled. The affected area gets raked and levelled. If your fence got taken out, we can secure it temporarily and point you to a good local fencing contractor.
All the timber and green waste comes off your property unless you want the firewood or mulch. We take before-and-after photos and give you a detailed invoice describing exactly what was done — your insurer will need both.

Frequently Asked Questions
A tree has fallen across my driveway — how soon can you come?
Driveway blockages are high priority. We'll usually have a crew to you within 2-4 hours, sometimes sooner if things aren't too backed up.
The fallen tree came from my neighbour's property — who pays?
Typically you claim through your own home insurance for damage to your property. Your insurer may then chase your neighbour's insurer if there's a negligence angle. We document everything to support whatever claim needs to be made.
