Canberra Tree Service

Canberra Tree Service is the tree care arm of the local Garden Guru team, and has been working across the capital since 2010. The crew looks after both residential and commercial clients throughout North Canberra and South Canberra, with a particular focus on the inner west and the eastern suburbs. Their pitch is refreshingly plain: reliability, safety and honest pricing. The proof is in how the work arrives, with the business noting that over 85 per cent of it comes through a direct recommendation or a repeat customer, alongside what they describe as a remarkable safety record built up over the years.

Tree removal is the speciality, and the team is candid that it is one of the most difficult and potentially dangerous jobs a homeowner could attempt, calling for specialised knowledge and skill rather than a borrowed chainsaw and good intentions. Every job starts with an assessment of the size of the tree and its proximity to buildings, power lines and neighbouring trees, and the method follows from there. That might be straight felling where there is room to drop the trunk in one piece, dismantling where the branches come off before the trunk does, or rigging, using ropes to lower sections under control in tight spots. The team is experienced at safely dismantling and removing complex and dangerous trees, and will also point you to the fact that local government authorities have regulations on felling and that council permission may be needed before a tree comes down.

For the trees that are staying, tree pruning and tree trimming keep growth in shape and take out the deadwood, while tree lopping and ongoing tree maintenance handle the rest. Once a tree is gone, stump removal and stump grinding clear away the remnant so the ground can be reclaimed for lawn or garden rather than left with an obstacle in the middle of it.

Weather in the capital does not keep business hours, which is why the team runs a 24 hour response service. Emergency tree removal and storm damage cleanup are offered around the clock, with employees on call 24 hours a day and a response team of qualified arborists ready to go. As they put it, if you call with an emergency they will do their best to come as soon as possible to eliminate the hazard, and those emergencies are often the result of storm conditions. The arborists are certified and fully insured for emergency tree work, and follow strict safety guidelines on every job.
