When Is Tree Removal Necessary?

  • Your tree is dead, dying, or severely diseased due to pests or decay.
  • The tree is growing too large in a confined space—such as between buildings or over utility lines.
  • Invasive or self-seeded trees are overtaking your landscape or garden.
  • Storms or high winds have caused significant damage or uprooting.
  • You're preparing your land for development, landscaping, or farming.
  • The tree is damaging fences, foundations, or pipes by growing too close.
  • Overgrown trees are shading gardens and preventing other flora from thriving.

Our Tree Removal Process

Tree removal is a specialised task that requires careful planning, safety protocols, and teamwork. Our experienced climbers and ground crew assess each tree individually and use the best approach for its removal. This includes:

  1. Tailored assessment and safety plan for each site
  2. Climbing gear, pulleys, and rigging for controlled dismantling
  3. Chainsaws, chippers, cherry pickers or cranes depending on access
  4. Chipping all branches into mulch for reuse or removal
  5. Complete site clean-up – we leave no mess behind

Removing Dead or Dangerous Trees

If a tree is unsafe to climb due to rot or instability, we employ cherry pickers or cranes to access and dismantle it safely from above. These techniques protect surrounding structures and our team while still allowing efficient removal.

Fallen Tree Removal

Where space permits—such as on farms or large open blocks—we may use a tree felling method known as “scarfing” to safely control the direction in which the tree falls. This technique allows us to quickly process all debris once the tree is grounded.

Confined Space Tree Removal

In built-up areas or around homes, we climb trees and lower each branch down in sections using ropes and pulleys. This ensures every piece is brought down carefully and without damage to buildings, fences, or landscaping.

The removal of deadwood from a tree is necessary to ensure open wounds caused by the dead limb are able to heal.  if left un kept, there is a potential of disease and pests penetrating your otherwise healthy tree.

 

 

Uplifting

Sometimes a branch may snap off the tree and become hung up in the lower canopy. This posses a significant risk, often hangers and large branches can fall at anytime causing harm to you or your property 

 

 

 

Pruning to achieving a desired shape or size

 

Reducing or removing certain branches to achieve a desired shape or size requested  by a client. although this technique works especially well on juvenile trees, it can be applied to any aged tree.

 

 

Crown reduction


Reducing the oversize of the crown is a technique to maintain large trees in a small environment or to reduce likelihood of limb failure in the future. Not all trees react well to crown reductions and limitations occur depending on suitable growth points to coincide with Australian standards, but our team will be able to advise you on this to achieve a desired outcome.

 


Pruning of over extended limbs 

 

Tree are naturally  growing towards  light, which can cause  lateral limbs to overextend themselves. This can put the tree under stress resulting in poor ascetics and health of your tree

 

 

 

Weight reductions 

 

Large mature trees can become one sided” causing the tree aesthetics to be unbalanced. By accessing the tree and reducing the  weight from targeted limbs, you can allow the tree to recover
