Caterpillar Tree Services

Caterpillar Tree Services is a Tamworth based tree company working across the North West and New England. The crew are trained and qualified arborists, fully licensed and insured, and the business covers the full range of tree work, from a routine trim through to a big removal and the emergency jobs that come with living among gum trees.

The bread and butter is tree removal. Trees that are dead, dangerous or simply in the wrong place are taken out cleanly, and once they are down stump grinding chews the stump out below ground so the spot can be mowed, paved or replanted rather than left with a hazard sticking up.

For the trees worth keeping, tree trimming and pruning and ongoing tree maintenance keep them healthy, safe and in good shape, taking weight out of heavy limbs, lifting canopies off roofs and clearing branches away from powerlines. Done regularly, it heads off the bigger problems before they start.

Caterpillar Tree Services also handles palm cleaning and de-nutting, stripping the old fronds and seed pods that would otherwise drop and make a mess, and offers arborist consultation for owners who want a qualified opinion on a tree's health, safety or future before spending money on it.

When a storm tears through and drops a limb or a whole tree, the business runs a 24/7 emergency call-out for storm damage cleanup, so a dangerous tree gets made safe day or night. Regular hours run Monday to Friday with weekends by appointment, and the team covers Tamworth, Gunnedah, Quirindi, Walcha, Armidale and Barraba.
