Tree Removal Services in Tweed Heads, NSW
What is included
What Is Included in Our Tree Removal Services
- We look over the tree, its lean, the fence, the house and the ground before choosing how it comes down.
- A drop zone is marked out and kept clear of people, pets, cars and garden furniture.
- Where there is room, the tree is felled in one direction with a controlled cut.
- In a tight yard, a climber takes the tree apart from the top, lowering each piece on a rope.
- Heavy sections near a house or fence are lowered on rigging rather than dropped, to protect what is below.
- The trunk is cut into lengths and the branches are stripped and stacked or chipped.
- Timber and green waste are chipped, stacked for firewood or carted away, whichever you choose.
- The stump is left at a low height or ground out, and the site is raked over.
Why us
Why Choose Us for Tree Removal Services?
Accountable for every job, long after the day
Every tree removal job is done by the people who will still be here next year.
Tested and signed off before we leave
Everything we touch on your tree removal is tested before we go, you get walked through exactly what was done.
Local arborists, not a call centre
An arborist answers the phone and the same faces come back if the job runs over a day.
How the job runs
Space around the tree decides the method
The first phone call
Tell us which tree is coming out, where it stands, and what is near it: the house, the fence, a pool, a shed. Say if it touches a wire. A rough height helps, and so does knowing whether a truck can get to the back yard. If it is a big or old tree, check the council rules first.
Planning the way it comes down
We look at which way the tree leans, how healthy the trunk is, and how much open ground there is. That decides between a felling cut and a section-by-section dismantle from the top. We choose the drop zone, the rigging points and where the chipper and truck will sit, then agree the plan with you.
Taking it down and clearing up
The tree comes down in the order we planned, either felled whole or lowered piece by piece. Trunk lengths are cut and moved, and the smaller wood goes through the chipper or onto the truck. We leave the stump as you agreed, rake up chips and offcuts, and check the yard, fence and lawn before we go.
Common questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Which areas do you cover?
Tweed Heads, the Tweed Coast, Murwillumbah and the Tweed Valley, and the southern Gold Coast as far as Palm Beach and Tallebudgera. Each place has its own page on the service areas page. If yours is not listed, ask, because the list is where we work most often rather than a boundary.
Do you work in Queensland as well as New South Wales?
Yes. The work crosses the border at Tweed Heads and Coolangatta and carries on through Gold Coast suburbs such as Currumbin, Elanora and Bilinga. Which council a tree falls under changes with the side of the border, and that can change what you need to check before a tree comes down.
Which tree jobs do you do?
Trimming, pruning, tree and limb removal, stump grinding, root removal, chipping and mulching, palm tree removal, land clearing and fire breaks, arborist services, commercial tree work, crane-assisted removal and emergency tree work. Each job has its own page on the services page.
Do you do emergency tree work?
Yes. Emergency tree service is one of the jobs on the services page. We are open 24 hours a day, Monday to Saturday, and closed on Sundays. Ring 0458 795 659, say what has come down and what it is lying on, and keep everyone well back until we have spoken.
What is the difference between pruning and lopping?
Pruning takes a branch off at the branch collar, the swelling where it joins the trunk, so the tree can seal the wound. Lopping cuts through a branch anywhere along its length and tends to leave a stub that decays. Pruning is the method for a tree that is staying.
What happens to the branches and the mulch?
Branches and leaves are put through a commercial chipper on site. You can keep the mulch for your garden beds or have it taken away, whichever suits the block.
How far down is a stump ground?
Below ground level, so the spot can go back to lawn, paving or a new planting. Roots are taken out as well when they need to be, and the chips and debris are dealt with as part of the job.
How often do palm trees need cleaning?
Once or twice a year is usual. The job is taking off the dead brown fronds, seed pods and berries that would otherwise land on paths, cars and people.
Do I need council permission to remove a tree?
Often you do, and it varies. Tree preservation rules depend on the council, the zoning, the size of the tree and whether it is a native or protected species. Check with your council before a large or protected tree comes down.
What is crane-assisted tree removal?
A crane takes the weight of each section while a climber makes the cuts, then lifts it clear. It is used for trees that are large, dangerous or too hard to reach any other way, such as ones standing over a house or close to power lines.
What should I tell you when I call?
Where the tree is, roughly how tall it is, what it stands near, such as a roof, fence, pool or wire, and whether it is leaning or has split. A photo taken from a safe distance helps. Say whether a truck can reach the back yard too.
What should I do if a tree or limb is touching a power line?
Stay well back, keep people and pets away, and do not touch the tree or anything it is touching. Treat the line as live and ring 000 if anyone is at risk. Once everyone is clear, ring the number at the top of this page and tell us what is touching what.
