Transform Your Tree into a Home for Native wildlife

If there has been a large tree clearing or there is an opportunity to keep part of the tree (rather than remove it totally), we encourage clients to consider habitat hollows. Habitat hollows create more places for hollow-dependent wildlife to live and thrive in our beautiful country.

Offset the environmental impact of chopping down your trees by providing a new home for native species.

Why Create Habitat Hollows?

Offset the environmental impact of tree removal.

Create more living spaces for hollow dependent wildlife.

Safely retain a hazardous tree and repurpose it into a wildlife hotel!

We’ve helped hundreds of Sunny Coast

clients from the ground up.

  • Arlo and Charlie from Greenish Tree Care are friendly and co-operative. They worked very hard and did a great job in pruning back several medium sized trees for our block of Units. We asked that they be boxed in on all sides and that’s exactly what they did. They arrived dutifully on time, worked hard from start to finish and cleaned up afterwards. I highly recommend them.

  • Outstanding team! You cannot possibly find a better tree-trimming crew on the Sunshine Coast. Not possible. Diligent, professional, hard working and amazing attention to detail. Obviously highly recommend.

  • Arlo and his team were awesome!!! From the very beginning everything went smoothly. Always responsive to messages, very punctual and very cruisey. The trees we were having cut were very big and very close to the house 🙈 but came home to find everything was done perfectly and the yard fully clean! We were pleasantly surprised as we were dropping a lot of the branches just to be left. I would definitely recommend Arlo and his team for any tree work you need done.

How we create hollow holes

On average, it takes 70 to 120 years for hollows to form in trees in Australian forests. That’s why we partner with Hollowhog to create habitat hollows using a unique wood carving tool that has been specifically designed to create habitats for wildlife.

The Hollowhog safely and quickly creates large internal cavities through small entry holes in both living and dead wood. No other damage to the tree’s cambium (living tissue) happens during the carving process, which means there is little disruption to a tree’s growth.

form the tree hollow

The entry hole size and shape can be made specifically to any fauna species through either carving a larger entry hole or adding entry modifiers to reduce the size back down to as small as needed. 

Customise the entry size

tree Hollow becomes a home for native animals

The Hollowhog can form these hollows in less than an hour, providing valuable homes, offsetting the loss of naturally developing hollows.
