trees we safely remove
palm tree Removal
Are your palm trees shedding more than your pets?
We can get rid of any unwanted palms that demand more routine maintenance than your schedule allows for. Our tree specialists can quickly chop down, chip and remove your palms.
Alternatively, we can remove dead palm fronds and seeds to prevent future messes on your property.
large tree Removal
If a large tree or its branches are looming over your residential home or commercial property, we can safely remove these potential safety hazards.
Our arborists are accredited and insured so you can trust we’ll use the best tree lopping and felling practices for the job. Plus, we’ll leave your yard neat and tidy when we’re finished.
If you’d like to give your large tree a second life rather than cutting it down completely, we can reduce the tree to a safe height and add in habitat hollows. If the tree remains living, it becomes a sustainable food source for wildlife and continues to provide shade. Keep in mind, though, that it will eventually need some maintenance.
Stump Removal
If you have a leftover tree stump sitting on your property, we’re happy to remove this tripping hazard from your yard.
We'll grind the stump into a fine mulch which can then be used on your garden beds!
Diseased or infested trees
Sometimes, trees needs to be removed because of invasive insects or a fungal disease. Whether it’s suffering from a case of Honey fungus, Black Spot, Anthracnose, Phytophthora or termites, we can remove the decaying tree before it collapses.
In some cases, pruning or lopping may give your tree a second chance. We’ll assess the diseased tree before we start work.
Hazardous trees
If a tree has powerlines running through it or is in danger of tumbling onto your roof, it may need to be removed.
We can do a full tree risk assessment to determine the best course of action for it. If necessary we’re qualified to remove any tree that poses a threat to your property or home.
Storm damaged trees
An aged tree can quickly become a safety threat when a bad storm hits.
If a tree has fallen due to bad weather and is now blocking your driveway or walkway, we offer 24/7 emergency tree removal.

Tree Removal FAQS
-
All councils have slightly different regulations so it's always a good idea to double check. Generally, if you have a palm or tree within 3m of a building or fence line, you're allowed to remove it without going through a council approval process. In addition, councils have a list of invasive species which you're able to remove without approval, such as the Cocos (Queen) Palm.
-
Firstly, a palm is actually not a tree! They're more like monocots, meaning they’re more closely related to grass. Generally, they're quite easy to remove, aside from a few select species, such as (but not limited to) Phoenix Palms, which have large, dangerous spikes, and Royal Cubans, which have a very hard exterior requiring additional techniques and care for safe removal.
-
If space and obstacles permit, we'll climb to the top and cut it down into smaller pieces. When space doesn't permit, we'll often climb to the top and utilise ropes to lower cut sections down in a controlled manner.
-
Tree removal can range from $150 to more than $10,000. Generally you can expect to pay between $1,500 - $3,500 for a tree starting to, or already towering over your house. Ways to reduce cost would include retaining any logs on your property or opting to do some clean up yourself. Although, I wouldn’t usually recommend this. From personal experience—it's a lot of work! Also, once it’s on the ground, there’s usually a lot more of it than it looked like in the air!
-
Only under very specific circumstances. For example, if a tree is posing a threat to a person or property, you may be required to have it removed. Up here on the Sunshine Coast, the "Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal" (QCAT) deals with tree disputes. It's always recommended to communicate with your neighbour as a first option.
-
Yes! But some additional work is required. If you wanted to plant another tree right in the same place, the tree that was removed would first have to be stump ground. Additionally, the stump grindings would have to be removed and other soil brought in. The reason being: the stump grindings (which really is mulch) will not support a new tree entirely.
Another consideration is that if the stump isn't ground out and a new tree is planted nearby, its growth may be suppressed. This can happen if it's too close to the old stump and roots. As these materials decompose, the microorganisms involved can be harmful to the new tree’s root system. -
Only if they're encroaching over your boundary. It's always best to speak with your neighbours first. However, at the time of writing this, legally you can cut a neighbouring tree back to your boundary line.
