When you need to Contact Launceston Arborist, our local team is ready to respond to your tree care needs across the city and surrounding areas. We are a dedicated crew of AQF Level 3 climbing arborists and AQF Level 5 consulting arborists, equipped to handle everything from complex hazard removals to AS4373-compliant canopy management.
Our response times are fast because our crews live and work right here in Northern Tasmania. Whether you need urgent storm damage response after high spring winds, formative pruning for a heritage English oak, or a comprehensive tree protection plan under AS4970, we have you covered.
From the steep, rocky dolerite slopes of West Launceston to the flat, wet floodplains of Inveresk, our trucks and specialist rigging equipment are always ready to be dispatched safely to your property.
24/7 Emergency Tree Response in Launceston
Storms sweeping through the Tamar Valley can cause sudden, catastrophic damage. High winds from September through to January frequently bring down heavy limbs from mature oaks and white gums, particularly when the deciduous canopy is newly leafed and catches the wind.
If a tree has fallen on your house, blocked your driveway, or poses an imminent hazard, you need a rapid response. Our crews provide a 24/7 emergency callout service for the entire Launceston municipality. When you face an urgent situation, we prioritise 'make-safe' operations—stabilising the site, clearing access paths, and removing the immediate threat to life and property.
We respond as fast as we can safely manage. Because we are based locally, we don’t lose critical time travelling from outside the region.
Under the Tasmanian Planning Scheme - Launceston, trees that present an unacceptable safety risk can often be addressed under emergency exemptions. We provide the necessary on-site arborist assessment and photographic documentation to ensure your emergency works are fully compliant.

How to Book and Contact Launceston Arborist
Booking our team is straightforward. For immediate hazards, fallen trees, or urgent storm damage, please call us directly. A phone call ensures the fastest possible dispatch of our emergency crews to your location.
For non-urgent works—such as routine pruning, quoting on a silver birch removal, or requesting an AQF Level 5 consulting arborist report for a development application—the best method is to use our online contact form. Please provide as much detail as possible, including the tree species, approximate height, and any access constraints like narrow gates or steep driveways.
Once you reach out, our team will schedule a site visit. We do not provide blind quotes; a qualified arborist will assess the structural condition of the tree, evaluate the drop zone, and check for any relevant overlays like the Local Historic Heritage Code or Landslip Hazard Code.
After assessment, we provide a transparent, itemised quote. We handle the complex logistics, from Dial Before You Dig checks for stump grinding to ensuring all pruning aligns with AS4373 standards, giving you total peace of mind.
Before Our Climbers Arrive: Safety First
If a severe storm has brought a tree down on your property, safety is the immediate priority. Keep a safe distance, especially if the tree has impacted power lines or structural roofs. Never attempt to clear branches yourself if they are entangled with electrical wires.
Before our crews arrive, take clear photographs of the fallen tree and any property damage from a safe vantage point. This documentation is crucial for your insurance claims.
Once our fully insured arborist team is on-site, we will secure the drop zone, conduct a rapid risk assessment, and safely commence the dismantling process.
Local Knowledge, Local Response
When you Contact Launceston Arborist, you are speaking to a team that understands the unique terrain, climate, and tree stock of Northern Tasmania. Operating in a city planted heavily from the 1830s means we frequently work with massive heritage exotics alongside towering native black peppermints.
Out-of-town operators simply cannot match our local response time or our knowledge of the Tasmanian Planning Scheme - Launceston. We know when a job falls under the Cataract Gorge Management Specific Area Plan and requires careful consultation, or when steep dolerite cliffs dictate a complex, rope-access dismantle rather than a simple machine fell.
Our local knowledge ensures that we bring the right equipment—whether that is a track-mounted spider lift for tight hillside access or top-handle chainsaws for meticulous in-tree rigging—saving you time, money, and unnecessary hassle.
Payments, Quotes, and Insurance Claims
We believe in complete transparency across all our billing. Every job begins with a fully itemised, written quote that clearly outlines the exact scope of work, from sectional dismantling and AS4373-compliant pruning to final site cleanup and stump grinding.
If you are dealing with storm damage, we format our quotes specifically for insurance claims, detailing each tree and the 'make-safe' operations required. We can also liaise directly with your insurance assessor to streamline the approval process.
Invoices are issued upon job completion and include GST. We accept EFT, major credit cards, and cash. As a fully insured business carrying public liability and WorkCover, your property is completely protected while our climbers are on-site.
