Atlas Trees

An arborist is not a tree lopper. Becoming one takes years, and the crew at Atlas Trees holds the paperwork to prove it: a Bachelor of Environmental Management, Certificates in Arboriculture, chainsaw operation and elevated work platform tickets, work zone traffic management, rail awareness and senior first aid. Add more than 25 years in tree care around Adelaide and $20 million in public liability cover, and there is not much in a suburban block we have not dealt with.

A tree gets looked at before anything gets cut, the way a doctor looks at a patient first. That is doubly true of an uncommon species, where the wrong cut in the wrong spot does damage you cannot undo. Safety runs the same way. We have procedures in place for our people and for whoever else is on the property, and with 60ft tower access we can reach the top of a tree without dismantling half your garden to get to it.

Tree removal covers everything from a dead one in the back corner to a large tree hanging over a house, a business or a garage. Nothing is too big, too small or too awkwardly placed. Where the whole tree can stay, limb reduction, dead wood removal and tree surgery take out what is dangerous and leave the rest to keep growing. Tree pruning gets more light onto the plants underneath, tidies up the shape and takes the weight out of branches that would otherwise come through the roof in a heavy storm.

Palms are handled as a job in their own right, and palm tree removal is on the list alongside the gums and the pines. Once anything is down, tree and stump grinding takes the stump out so you can plant, pave or lay lawn over it. The chip does not have to leave either: we supply mulch, so what comes off your tree can go back onto your garden beds.

Storms do not wait for business hours, so we run 24/7 storm damage emergency work. If a limb has come down across a driveway or a tree has split and is leaning on something it should not be, ring us and we will get someone out. Arborist services and written arborist reports are available too, for councils, insurers or anyone who needs the tree assessed on paper before a decision gets made.

We run from Seacliff Gardens and Unley, and service homes and businesses across the southern, eastern and western metropolitan suburbs of Adelaide. Advice is free and so are quotes. Ring the office and we will come and look at the tree.
