Addicted to Gardens

Before we quote you on taking a tree out, we will tell you whether it needs to come out at all. Preservation is the priority at Addicted to Gardens, so every job starts with a proper evaluation of the tree, and the answer is often careful pruning instead of a removal. Matthew and Anna Pittard founded the business in Bowral in 2016 and it is still family owned, with more than fifteen years of experience behind the work, qualified arborists on the tools and a High Risk Work Licence, number HRW850450, held by the team.

When a tree is being pruned, the cuts matter. We keep away from straight-line cuts, which encourages proper regrowth and heads off problems later on, and we shape a tree with an eye to its structure, its form and the light it lets through as the seasons change. Tree pruning done that way improves the health of a tree as much as the look of it.

Where a tree genuinely does have to go, we have the equipment and the experience to bring it down safely, along with the stump and roots. Stump grinding clears out what is left so you have a blank canvas to landscape over. Everything that comes off the job goes back into the garden as mulch and woodchip, feeding the soil, helping new planting along and keeping the weeds down. There is hedge trimming and ongoing tree maintenance alongside all of that, and on larger properties we will put together a long term management plan so the work is planned out across the years.

Emergency tree services run twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. Storm damage, a branch down across the drive, a tree that has turned hazardous overnight: ring us at any hour and we will get out and make the place safe. Frosty winters and summer storms both take their toll on trees up here, and the gums, English oaks, elms and ornamental maples around Bowral all behave differently under it. Years of working inside Wingecarribee Shire Council regulations means the compliance side is handled as well, which matters on heritage specimens and native species.

Our work covers residential and commercial properties right across the Southern Highlands, taking in Bowral, Mittagong, Moss Vale and Berrima, from established heritage gardens to rural blocks and new developments. We are open seven days, we take card, direct bank transfer or cash, and quotes are free. Ring us on 0499 038 383 and we will come out and have a look at your trees.
