Comprehensive Dangerous Tree Removal perth

Dangerous trees pose a threat to houses, people, wildlife and other flora and should always be treated seriously. If you have spotted a leaning trunk or storm damage, The Tree Firm has the experience and equipment to assess and handle it. Our team specialises in dangerous tree cutting and dangerous tree removal, making us the leading tree services firm Perth has to offer.

A tree which is dead, diseased, affected by storm damage, at a dangerous height or simply in a tight location for removal could be classified as being dangerous. This includes situations where a neighbour’s tree is in a dangerous condition and has gone unaddressed, or where dead trees are leaning towards fences and structures. Trees in any of these conditions are among the most common dangerous trees to cut before further damage or injury occurs.

Certified, Insured, and Ready for Any Tree Task

Dangerous trees should always be approached and planned for by a contractor which is fully insured and capable of performing the task. Tree cutting of this nature carries significant risk when attempted without the right equipment and training, which is why engaging a professional team is always the safest choice.

The Tree Firm carries $20,000,000 in public liability. A Certificate of Currency should be provided on demand by any tree company in Perth; however, many still do operate without such insurance. This matters especially for complex, dangerous tree removal jobs where liability risks are high. Even though these jobs can be very demanding, we have never been unable to perform the task!

Are Dead Palm Trees Dangerous?

Many Perth homeowners ask whether dead or dying palms pose a real risk. The answer is yes. Are dead palm trees dangerous? It is one of the most common questions we receive, and for good reason. A dead palm loses structural integrity quickly, making it highly susceptible to collapse during strong winds or storms. If you have a palm on your property that appears brown, hollow, or leaning, it should be assessed as soon as possible.

The same applies when a neighbour’s tree is in a dangerous condition – particularly palms that overhang shared fences or driveways. You do not always need to wait for the tree owner to act. Contact The Tree Firm and we can assess the situation, advise on your options under Perth local council guidelines, and arrange safe dangerous tree removal where required.

The use of our cherry picker has a great advantage when dealing with dangerous trees across Perth, particularly where access is limited or the tree is positioned close to a structure. This equipment allows our team to carry out safe, dangerous tree cutting without putting our crew or your property at risk.

The Tree Firm has had its fair share of these jobs.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can you tell if a tree is dangerous?

There are several signs that indicate a tree may need urgent attention. These include large dead branches, cracks or splits in the trunk, fungal growth at the base, a visible lean that was not there before, and roots that appear raised or damaged. If you are unsure how can you tell if a tree is dangerous on your property, The Tree Firm can carry out a professional assessment and advise on the safest course of action.

What types of trees are the most common dangerous trees to cut?

Dangerous trees to cut are often those affected by disease, storm damage, or old age. In Perth, eucalyptus trees are a common concern due to their size and tendency to drop large branches without warning. Trees with hollow trunks and those with root damage are also frequently identified as requiring dangerous tree removal or cutting.

Is dangerous tree cutting something I can do myself?

Dangerous tree cutting should never be attempted without professional training and the right equipment. Working at heights, managing falling branches, and controlling the direction of a fall all require specialist skills. Attempting to cut a dangerous tree without professional help puts you, your family, and your property at serious risk. Always contact a fully insured contractor like The Tree Firm.

What should I do if my neighbour's tree is dangerous?

If a neighbour’s tree is in a dangerous condition and causing concern – such as a leaning tree, dead branches overhanging your property, or visible decay – your first step is to contact your neighbour directly. If they do not act, you may have the right to arrange removal of branches overhanging your property at your own cost. In serious cases, Perth local councils can also be notified. Contact The Tree Firm for advice on how to handle the situation safely and within your rights.

Are dead palm trees dangerous, and do they need to be removed urgently?

Yes – are dead palm trees dangerous is a question with a clear answer. A dead palm tree becomes structurally unstable over time and can collapse without warning, particularly in windy conditions. Dead palms should be assessed promptly and scheduled for dangerous tree removal before they cause injury or property damage. The Tree Firm handles palm removal across all Perth suburbs and can advise on urgency during an initial inspection.
