Angry Ant Tree Services

Angry Ant Tree Services is a family owned and operated, second-generation tree services company that has been working across Brisbane since 1974, when the business was established by Doug Protheroe. Today Doug's sons and a team of industry professionals bring more than 70 years of combined experience to every job, backed by 20-million dollars in public liability insurance. The company writes plainly about doing quality work, caring for the property they work on, and giving customers peace of mind, and it still trades on the old-fashioned values of reliable service, transparent free quotes, and a pensioner and seniors discount.

The core of the business is hands-on tree work for homes and acreage. Angry Ant Tree Services carries out tree lopping, complete tree removal, and careful branch removal, along with tree pruning and maintenance to keep established trees healthy and safe. Once a tree is down, the team handles stump grinding to take stumps below ground level, and they also offer specialised palm tree removal for the palms that are common across South East Queensland yards.

Beyond individual trees, the company clears larger and more difficult vegetation. Services include land clearing for residential and commercial blocks, bamboo removal, bougainvillea removal, and lantana removal, as well as solar panel clearing, fence line clearing, power line clearing, and gutter cleaning. Total and partial demolition rounds out the heavier work, and when the weather turns the team provides same-day emergency storm damage response, including the removal of fallen trees.

The green waste the crew produces does not go to waste. Angry Ant Tree Services runs wood chipping on site and sells the results through forest mulch sales and firewood supply, while mulch blowing lets them apply mulch quickly across gardens and large areas. Commercial clients such as councils, real estates, schools, childcare centres, and builders are also looked after through ongoing asset management and tailored vegetation solutions.

Angry Ant Tree Services services Brisbane, North Brisbane, Redcliffe, Moreton Bay, Samford Valley, Dayboro, Caboolture, Bribie Island, Glasshouse Mountains, the Sunshine Coast and hinterland, and surrounding areas.
