Comprehensive Tree Care Solutions

We offer a full range of professional tree services tailored to meet the diverse needs of both residential and commercial clients across Chatswood and the North Shore. Our certified arborists employ the latest techniques and safety protocols to ensure your trees are healthy, safe, and aesthetically pleasing, all while preserving the natural beauty of your property.

Tree Pruning

Expert pruning services designed to improve tree health, enhance structural integrity, and refine overall appearance. Whether it's crown thinning, reduction, shaping, or deadwood removal, our arborists perform precise cuts to promote healthy growth and mitigate potential risks from weak or overextended branches. Regular pruning is vital for urban trees to thrive and co-exist safely with surrounding infrastructure.

Tree Removal

Safe and efficient removal of trees that are hazardous, diseased, structurally unsound, or are negatively impacting property development. Our experienced team uses specialized equipment and techniques, including rigging and cranes where necessary, to remove trees safely, even in confined or difficult-to-access locations, ensuring minimal impact on your property and surrounding areas.

Stump Grinding

Complete removal of unsightly and hazardous tree stumps to ground level or below. Grinding eliminates the stump and major roots, preventing regrowth and clearing the area for replanting, landscaping, or construction. This process also removes trip hazards and prevents pests like termites from harbouring in decaying wood. We clean up the grindings or leave them for mulch, based on your preference.

Arborist Reports

Provision of detailed and professional arborist reports required for various purposes, including development applications, council tree permits, insurance claims, and tree disputes. Our certified consulting arborists conduct thorough assessments, analyse tree condition and significance, and provide expert recommendations based on scientific principles and local regulations to support your application or legal requirements.

Tree Health Assessments

Diagnosis and development of effective treatment plans for trees suffering from pests, diseases, nutritional deficiencies, or environmental stress. Our arborists are trained to identify symptoms, determine the underlying cause, and recommend appropriate actions, which might include soil analysis, targeted treatments, or cultural practices, to restore your tree's vitality and prevent future issues.

Tree Planting

Professional advice on species selection appropriate for your site conditions and objectives, followed by expert planting services. We ensure trees are planted correctly to encourage strong root development and healthy establishment, giving them the best start for long-term growth. We also offer guidance on initial aftercare to ensure successful integration into your landscape.

Land Clearing

Efficient and safe clearing of vegetation, including trees, shrubs, and undergrowth, for new construction projects, landscaping remodels, or firebreak creation. We utilize appropriate machinery and techniques to clear land quickly and effectively, preparing the site for its next phase while managing green waste responsibly. We work closely with clients to meet specific project requirements and timelines.

Emergency Storm Damage Cleanup

Prompt and reliable response to hazards caused by storm-damaged trees, such as fallen trees blocking access, hanging branches over structures, or split trunks. Our emergency crew is equipped to handle dangerous situations swiftly and safely, minimizing further risk to property and people. We provide immediate assessment and necessary action to secure the area and commence cleanup.

Hedging

Precise shaping and maintenance of hedges to maintain desired size, density, and aesthetic form. Proper hedging promotes healthy growth, prevents overcrowding, and creates clean lines for formal landscapes. Our team uses sharp tools and techniques to ensure clean cuts that heal quickly, keeping your hedges looking their best throughout the year.

Mulching

Supplying and applying high-quality mulch around the base of trees and in garden beds. Mulching is a simple yet highly effective practice that helps retain soil moisture, suppress weed growth, regulate soil temperature, and improve soil structure as it decomposes. This contributes significantly to the overall health and vitality of your trees and plants.
