A&D Tree Services

The cherrypickers, chippers and haulage gear that go out on our own jobs are available for hire on yours, which tells you most of what you need to know about the yard behind A&D Tree Services. We are family owned and operated out of South Nowra, with more than 40 years of experience, working the Shoalhaven, the Illawarra and the Southern Highlands for residential, commercial and government clients. Every one of our team is qualified, insured and proficient.

The business is second generation now. Adrian started it. Cody, who was doing quotes in the playground at six years old, is our director and now prices everything from a small backyard to a large scale land clearing project. Dylan runs the on site management as a second generation tree technician. Jim has been here since the eighties, starting as an everyday tree technician and ending up as our operations manager, and his priority has never shifted off safety, for himself, for the crew and for your property.

Storms and floods are commonplace in the Shoalhaven, and putting a district back together afterwards is work we have done a great deal of. We mobilise crews and machinery to clean up, carry out repairs and take on the unplanned maintenance a severe weather event leaves behind. One customer wrote to us after the bushfires about the care the crew took over every part of the job, from beginning to end. That is the reason the 24/7 emergency disaster response line exists.

For councils, developers, utilities and emergency agencies we take on land clearing for housing and commercial development, fire breaks, fence lines, cleaning and grubbing, and vegetation management for new road construction. Our teams are accredited and licensed with the NSW and ACT power clearing authorities, which is a key component of the business, and there are many different rules and regulations across local government areas, so we keep records on the tree removal and protection codes that apply. The names on our client list include Transport for NSW, Roads and Maritime Services, Water NSW, Shoalhaven City Council, the SES, the Royal Australian Navy, Telstra and Optus.

At home it is tree felling for the dead and unsafe ones, tree trimming where the growth has got away from you, crown thinning to open a canopy up so air moves through it more gently, and stump grinding to take the stump and the roots out afterwards. What comes off the trucks does not go to waste either: mulch goes out in bulk for gardens and landscaping, and firewood is available by the load. Every job starts with a free quote, so ring the office on a weekday, or the emergency number at any hour of any day if a tree has come down and the property is not safe to be on.
