Tree Trimming Services in Tweed Heads, NSW
What is included
What Is Included in Our Tree Trimming Services
- We walk the tree first and mark which branches are dead, crossing, rubbing or hanging over something.
- Dead wood is taken out first, because it is the part most likely to drop without warning.
- Crowded branches are thinned so light and air can pass through the canopy again.
- Branches brushing the roof, gutters, fence or clothesline are cut back to a clean collar.
- Where a tree has grown too tall or wide for the space, we reduce its height or spread.
- Cut branches are lowered on ropes or fed to the ground crew, never dropped onto garden beds.
- Leaves, twigs and offcuts are raked up from lawns, paths and garden beds as the work finishes.
- Green waste is chipped on site or loaded and taken away, whichever you ask for.
Why us
Why Choose Us for Tree Trimming Services?
Accountable for every job, long after the day
Every tree trimming 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 trimming 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
Trimming works when the cuts are chosen first
What to tell us first
Describe the tree and what is bothering you about it: branches on the roof, shade on the lawn, limbs over the neighbour's fence, or growth reaching wires. Tell us roughly how tall it is and what lies under it. If any branch is close to a power line, tell us that too and leave it alone.
Looking and marking the cuts
We stand under the tree and read it from the ground: the dead limbs, the weak forks, the heavy branches over the house. We decide how much can come off without hurting the tree, where each cut goes, and where the cut branches will land or be lowered. Access and a place to put green waste are sorted out here.
Cutting and tidying up
A climber works through the canopy, taking out the marked branches in a set order. The ground crew catches and drags the cut material to the chipper or the truck. When the last branch is down, the lawn, paths and garden beds get raked, and we point out what we took and what we left.
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.
