Tree work, done carefully.
Pruning, dead-wooding, weight reduction, fruit tree shaping. Standard tree work handled in-house — large or hazardous removals via our LiRo Tree Services partnership. Fully insured both ways.
What we'll
tell you straight.
Tree work isn't gardening — it's the kind of work where bad judgment costs houses, cars, and people. We won't quote a job we shouldn't be doing.
- If a tree's structurally compromised, we'll say so.
- If a tree's protected under ACT regulations, we'll tell you before you apply.
- If a removal needs a crane and we can't do it safely, we'll loop in LiRo.
- If a job's better left until next season, we'll tell you that too.
Insurance &
protected trees.
All tree work undertaken — by us or via LiRo — is covered by current public liability insurance. Certificates available on request.
The ACT has strict rules about removing or pruning regulated trees. We're happy to walk you through whether your tree falls under the Tree Protection Act and what's required for council approval. We don't undertake work on regulated trees without council clearance.
The work we
handle.
Formative pruning
Young trees shaped to grow well — saves you problems in 10 years.
Dead-wooding
Safe removal of dead limbs in established trees before they fall.
Canopy lifting
Lower branches removed to clear cars, paths and views.
Fruit tree work
Pruning for fruit production — apple, pear, citrus, stone fruit.
Weight reduction
Selective thinning for trees overburdened on one side.
Stump grinding
Below-ground stump removal so you can replant or pave.
What it costs.
Light tree work — dead-wooding, small pruning, fruit tree care — is included in Total Property Care ($880/month). Anything substantial is quoted as an add-on.
For one-off tree jobs, we quote on site. Most residential tree jobs in Canberra fall between $480 and $2,400 depending on size, access and complexity.
Large removals: our
LiRo partnership.
For tree removals over 8m, crane work, hazardous leaners over houses, or any job that needs an arborist with a chainsaw harness — we partner with LiRo Tree Services.
LiRo carry their own commercial-grade tree insurance, chipper, crane access and qualified arborists. If your job calls for it, we coordinate the quote and project-manage the work so you only deal with one number.
You get our communication and customer care, with LiRo's tree expertise on the heavy work. Same price as going to LiRo directly — we don't mark up.
