A1 Positive Arbor

A1 Positive Arbor Pty Ltd is a trusted local, family-owned business backed by 20+ years experience, working out of Moorebank in Sydney's south west. Owner Robert brings over 20 years of hands-on experience in the arborist industry, built up through learning, teaching and collaboration with others in the trade, and the business trades on a reliable, down-to-earth approach rather than a hard sell. The promise the company puts at the top of its site is a simple one: arborist services you can rely on. Free quotes are offered, and the crew works seven days a week from 5am to 9pm, which is a long day by any measure and useful for anyone trying to fit tree work around a job.

The business has built itself around the awkward jobs rather than the easy ones. Tight access tree removal is a core specialty, covering the trees that cannot be reached with a truck or a crane and have to be dismantled and carried out by hand, which is exactly the situation on the narrow blocks and battle-axe driveways common through Liverpool, Bankstown and Hurstville. Dead and dangerous tree removal handles the trees that have become a genuine liability, taken down in a controlled way rather than simply felled. House powerlines pruning deals with the growth encroaching on service lines running to a house, which is work most homeowners should not be anywhere near.

Stump work is the other half of the operation and it is unusually well equipped. Standard stump grinding covers the everyday jobs, while 900mm access stump grinding is offered for stumps behind gates and side passages that a full-size machine will never fit through, and portable stump grinding takes the equipment to stumps in courtyards, on slopes and in back corners that no wheeled grinder can reach. Between the three, there are very few stumps in a Sydney back yard that A1 Positive Arbor cannot get to and remove.

Tree reports round out the services for clients who need something written down, whether that is for a council application, an insurer, a neighbour or simply peace of mind about a tree that has started to look wrong. Twenty years in the industry is the useful part here: the judgement about whether a tree is genuinely dangerous or merely untidy is worth more than the report itself.

The company covers Sydney's south west and inner south from Moorebank, taking in Liverpool, Bankstown, Fairfield, Hurstville, Strathfield, Lidcombe, Concord, Randwick and Castle Hill, and also works north to Lake Macquarie and the Central Coast, including Cooranbong, Wyee and Charmhaven. Open Sunday to Saturday, 5am to 9pm. Call 0468 072 981 for a free quote.
