Every storm season we get calls from people who waited too long. The job is always bigger and more expensive than it would have been six months earlier.
The longer you wait, the bigger the risk. A dead branch above a roofline isn’t a maintenance task, it’s a phone call to your insurer waiting to happen.
Fungal rot, hollow trunks, and dieback all mean the next storm could put a tree through your roof.
Once roots find a pipe, they don't stop. Removal is cheaper than re-plumbing or re-paving.
Branches over the roof drop leaves into gutters, scratch tiles, and shade out lawn underneath.
Snapped limbs, split trunks, and leaning trees can come down in the next big southerly. Get ahead of it.
Every job is planned around your property, your access, and the tree itself. No two are identical. We explain exactly what’s happening before we start the chainsaw.

David is knowledgeable and lovely to work with. He and his team provide a really professional service. We had compared quotes for this job with others and David provided a very competitive price. We had a tree cut down and lots of trees trimmed with all waste removed. The work was of a great standard. We will definitely be returning customers!Posted on Marty HTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What can I say, I made a call in the morning, Dave was there in the afternoon, assed the tree, quoted a price. 2 days later his team was onsite, job done in an hour or so, area cleaned up better than before they started. Invoice matched the quote. Dave and his boys are the most lovely down to earth lads you will meet and they all went out of their way to accommodate my needs. Dave and his team will be my first and only call for my next tree issue.Posted on Kyle & Kelly ConnorTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Need a tree removed? Tell us what’s going on in your yard..
You’ll get honest advice, clear pricing, and no pushy sales talk. Just what you need, when you need it.
Most residential removals run between $400 and $4,500. It depends on the tree size, access, how close it is to your house or pool, and whether you want the stump ground out too. You'll get a written quote before we start, with everything included.
Sometimes. Wollongong, Shellharbour and Kiama councils protect certain species, plus any tree over a set size. If the tree is dead or dangerous, you can usually skip the permit. We'll let you know what's needed when we come out, and point you to the right form.
Yes. Branches get chipped on site, the trunk goes for firewood or gets carted off, and we can grind the stump too if you want (extra). We rake the lawn before we leave, so you don't have a mess to deal with.
Yes. $20 million public liability, plus workers' comp for everyone on the crew. Happy to send through the Certificate of Currency whenever you ask.
Most quotes come back within 24 hours. Most jobs are booked and done within the week. If it's storm damage or something dangerous, give us a ring on 0468 030 660 and we'll push it up the list.
Yes, but it takes a bit more work. Anything within 3 metres of overhead power needs clearance from Endeavour Energy. We sort that out for you so you're not stuck on the phone for a week.
