TREE & PALM FELLING & REMOVAL
We provide safe tree removal with accreditation to work near power lines, cyclone clean up and advanced tree removal to protect other vegetation and your property.
TREE PRUNING & TREE LOPPING
Pruning and removing larger trees is a dangerous task involving large, heavy structures, dangerous equipment and working at heights. We comply with the Australian Standard Protection of Trees on Development Sites
(AS 4970-2009).
STUMP GRINDING & REMOVAL
Tree stumps take years to rot away and break down naturally, causing safety issues and attracting termites. We will fill the depression left in the soil so it looks great and is safe.
PALM CLEANING & REMOVAL
Dead fronds and seed pods removed regularly (six-monthly or yearly). As well as looking nicer, regular cleaning prevents the seeds from clogging pool filters or gutters, attracting bats and having fronds littering your gardens and rear patios.
MULCHING & WASTE REMOVAL
Using heavy Vermeer Chipping equipment we can do on-site mulching quickly and efficiently with the option to keep your wood chip for use in your gardens. Any leftovers that are too big to chip will be taken away.
FRUIT TREES, SHRUB & HEDGE PRUNING
Regular pruning will improve the structure of your tress and improve the look. We trim diseased branches, encouraging regrowth of healthy material. This will allow your trees to live longer. We comply with Australian Standard
Pruning of Amenity Trees
(AS 4373—2007).
CYCLONE PREPARATION
Protect your property from devastating damage with an inspection and works to make your assets cyclone-safe.
POST-STORM INSPECTIONS
We can inspect your trees for damage, clear your property of debris, and carry out works to make your home safe.
EMERGENCIES
Contact us for your emergency works. Our qualified arborists use our high-spec equipment and machinery to secure your property and prevent further risk.
INSPECTIONS, SURVEYS & REPORTS
Climbing inspections.
Tree inspections reports on structural integration of tree, direct and indirect damage due to tree roots to underground services and structures.
BLOCK & LAND CLEARING
We will assess the land, create a detailed plan for the removal of trees and brush and offer you a detailed quote.
ROOT BARRIERS INSTALLATION
Roots can cause underground damage including property foundations; telecommunication wires; pipes and utilities, push up pavements and driveways causing trip hazards. Root Barrier Installation is an excellent method to prevent tree roots from spreading to a problematic area.
"Proper tree care is an investment that can lead to substantial returns.
Well-cared-for trees are attractive and can add considerable value to your property. Poorly maintained trees can be a significant liability."
