  • The cost for any tree work depends on several factors, including the size and type of tree, the complexity of the work, accessibility and proximity to buildings or power lines. We provide free quotes for our tree services so get in contact with us to book an assessment. Click here to get a book a free quote for your tree work.

  • If roots or branches of trees on your neighbour’s property are encroaching on your property, the branches or roots can be cut back to the boundary line. In legal terms, this is called ‘abatement’. We can assess the trees, provide a quote for the work and liaise with your neighbours regarding the work involved.

  • Yes, of course! This is why you get our professionals on the job instead of risking doing the work yourself. We’re experienced in safely removing branches and full trees that are growing near or above buildings. In the extremely unlikely event that anything goes wrong, our public liability insurance covers up to a million dollars.
