Our Services

Specialists in large tree removal, pruning and vegetation management

Residential, rural and commercial work across the Mid North Coast. Same team, same standards, full clean-up on every job.

Tree Removal

Controlled removal of everything from single backyard trees through to large, complex removals in confined or high-risk locations. Every job is assessed individually, the safest approach is planned, and the work is carried out with the right equipment for the site. Full clean-up is included as standard.

When it may be appropriate

  • A tree is dead, declining or structurally compromised
  • Storm damage has left a tree unstable
  • A tree is too close to a house, shed, pool or boundary
  • Site clearing for building work or a new driveway

On the day

Move vehicles clear of the work area, and let us know about pets and anything underground we should avoid. Our guide Preparing for your tree work has the full list.

In some cases, council approval may not be needed

Many Mid North Coast properties sit in a designated 10/50 area, where some clearing close to the house is allowed without a council application. Whether it applies depends on the address and the individual tree, and exclusions do apply. The NSW Rural Fire Service publishes a free tool: enter your address and it tells you whether your land falls in the entitlement area.

Pruning & Maintenance

Crown lifting, crown thinning, deadwood removal and reduction pruning. Better structure, better long-term health, and the light and clearance you’re after.

When it may be appropriate

  • Branches overhanging a roof, driveway or neighbouring property
  • Deadwood in the canopy that could fall
  • A tree blocking light or views
  • Regular maintenance of established or young trees

Before we quote

Have a think about what you want to achieve — more light, more clearance, or a general tidy-up. Knowing the goal lets us recommend the right approach rather than simply cutting back.

Stump Grinding

Ground out below surface level so you can turf, pave, build or replant over the area. Tell us what’s going on top and we’ll grind to suit. Grindings stay as mulch or we take them away.

When it may be appropriate

  • A stump is in the way of landscaping or building work
  • You want to re-turf or pave over the area
  • The stump is a trip hazard in a high-traffic area
  • Regrowth keeps appearing from an old stump

On the day

Let us know if you would like to keep the grindings as mulch, and point out any irrigation, cabling or pipework near the stump.

Storm Damage Response

When a tree comes down

Fallen trees, hanging limbs and storm-damaged canopies, cleared safely. We prioritise by risk to people and property, and we can document everything for an insurance claim. If a tree is on powerlines, keep clear and call Essential Energy on 13 20 80 first.

Bushfire Preparation

Before the season starts

Reducing fuel loads, clearing overhanging limbs from rooflines, and creating defendable space around buildings. If your property sits in a bushfire-prone area, the 10/50 Vegetation Clearing Code may let you clear without approval. Eligibility depends on your address and can be checked on the NSW Rural Fire Service website.

Commercial Tree Services

Scheduled and reactive tree work for councils, strata and body corporate, schools, holiday and caravan parks, developers, civil contractors, industrial sites and rural properties. Fully insured, with work health and safety obligations met under SafeWork NSW, and the equipment and experience for large-scale and compliance-heavy work.

When it may be appropriate

  • Ongoing scheduled maintenance programs
  • Large-scale vegetation management and land clearing
  • Asset and infrastructure protection work
  • Site clearing for development, with documentation

Before we quote

Let us know the scope, site access constraints and any documentation or insurance requirements, and we will respond with a tailored proposal.

Important — please read

The information on this website is general in nature and is not an assessment of the condition or safety of any individual tree. Tree condition is influenced by species, age, soil, weather, previous work and site conditions. Where you have concerns, arrange an on-site assessment by a suitably experienced tree professional. If there is an immediate risk to people, buildings, roads or powerlines, keep clear of the area and contact the appropriate emergency service, or Essential Energy on 13 20 80 for anything involving powerlines.
