A Samford tree crew, working since 2007
Arborists for homes, businesses and government across Brisbane, the Sunshine Coast and the Gold Coast.
Tree removal experts, based in Samford, Brisbane North
We remove, prune and maintain trees, grind stumps, write arborist reports and handle storm emergencies, with the tools, machines and vehicles to take on jobs of any size.
We've been at it since 2007. We also take on the smaller jobs that come with tree work, like earthmoving, gutter clearing and land clearing, so you don't need a second contractor.
Trees often start to decline above and below ground before anyone notices. We know which care gives a tree its best chance, and we prune each one for health and structure, for looks, or to manage a safety risk, using different techniques for different species.
Why people call us
Qualified people
Every one of our staff holds Level 3 arboriculture or is studying for it, and a Level 5 (Diploma) consulting arborist runs the business.
One phone number, any hour
Our office line diverts to a mobile after hours, so the same number works for a quote or a tree on the roof.
Equipment that saves hours
A 35 m crane, three chippers, three stump grinders and articulating loaders mean a shorter day on your site.
Clean, on time and safe
We clean up after every job and work within council and government requirements.
Qualified for the hard parts
Trained to work at height, around low and high voltage wires, and with heavy rigging.
Our equipment
Faster machines mean fewer hours on your job. The 21XP chipper, fed by our 3 tonne loader, fills the 20 m³ chip truck in about 45 minutes.
