A1 Tree Services NSW

A1 Tree Services NSW has been cutting trees around Dubbo since 1991, which makes it one of the longer running arborist businesses in the Central West. Chris Reynolds directs it and holds a Certificate in Tree Surgery with more than thirty years in the trade. Beau Reynolds climbs for the company as a Cert III climbing arborist and has been with it about a decade. Thirty four years in the one town is its own kind of reference.

The rest of the crew is listed by name on the site, which is rarer than it should be. Chris Bush is a qualified arborist with Cert III in Horticulture (Arboriculture) and fifteen years behind him. Adam Martin holds Cert III and came in with a powerline clearing background. Ben Clark runs the machinery and works the ground crew, and Rebecca Waugh manages the office. A1 is a member of Arboriculture Australia.

The compliance list is unusually thorough. Between them the crew carries skid steer, front end loader, excavator and EWP permits, chainsaw and working at heights certificates, current first aid, occupational health and safety risk management certificates, police checks and Working with Children clearances. Insurance runs to workers compensation, public liability and comprehensive plant and vehicle cover. For anyone putting a crew onto a school, a council site or a commercial property, that list answers most of the questions before they are asked.

Services cover tree removals, stump grinding, tree pruning and maintenance, chipping and mulching, land clearing and commercial tree services. The gear behind it includes a crane, an EWP, an excavator, a Bobcat, a forest mower, a chipper and green waste machinery. The crane and the elevated work platform are what let a tree come out over a house or a powerline instead of being dropped where it stands, and green waste goes through the chipper rather than to the tip.

Emergency tree services run 24/7, and the site is blunt about it: in the midst of a tree emergency, give them a call now. Trading hours are listed as open 24 hours, every day of the week. Coverage takes in Dubbo, Cobar, Bourke, Coonamble, Coonabarabran and Walgett, each with its own page on the site, plus the wider Central West. Ring the office on 02 6882 2052, or Chris directly on 0418 669 630.
