Central Coast Tree Services connects the Central Coast and the Central Coast property owners with qualified, insured local arborists for storm damage 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.
Why coastal trees fail at the base, not the middle
Inland, a storm tends to snap limbs. Here, days of onshore rain saturate sandy soil until it loses the grip on the root plate, and then a sustained easterly simply levers the whole tree over.
That's why a tree can look completely undamaged after a blow and still be finished. If the ground on one side has lifted, cracked or gone spongy, the anchorage has already failed even though the tree is still standing.
The damage that shows up weeks later
Partial root failure, split unions that haven't opened up yet, and limbs that have moved in their sockets. It's worth having someone qualified look over a big tree after a serious storm even when nothing obvious came down.
Insurance, and what they'll want
Most policies cover removing a tree that has hit an insured structure, and many won't cover removing a tree that merely fell in the yard. Photograph everything before anything is cut, and get the make-safe and the removal quoted separately — insurers routinely treat them as different line items.
