Chip Off the Old Block

Chip Off the Old Block is a Brisbane-based, owner-operated tree services business run by fourth-generation arborist Eric Devjak, who brings ten years of hands-on experience and four generations of trusted industry knowledge to every job. Based on the city's southside at Balmoral, the business is built on a genuine working-with-nature philosophy and a strict zero-harm approach — safety always comes before pushing on with unsafe work, and wildlife is carefully relocated during tree work. Fully insured and client-focused, the team models its whole approach on the approval of the people it works for.

The core of the business is professional tree removal and tree lopping, safely taking down trees of all shapes and sizes, along with skilled tree trimming and shaping and ongoing tree maintenance to keep established trees healthy, balanced and safe. When wild weather hits, emergency storm works deal with fallen limbs and dangerous trees quickly and safely.

For palms, palm tree maintenance and removal keeps them tidy or clears them out entirely, while tree stump removal and stump grinding take out leftover stumps and roots so the ground can be reclaimed. Whatever the job, the focus stays on a clean, safe finish with minimal disruption to the surrounding garden and wildlife.

On the larger end, Chip Off the Old Block also handles land clearing for overgrown or vegetated blocks, and provides qualified arborist services and advice for property owners who need expert guidance on the health, safety and management of their trees. It is a genuinely all-round service backed by real arboricultural knowledge.

Chip Off the Old Block services Brisbane's southside, Brisbane's northside, the western suburbs, Balmoral, Carindale, Coorparoo, Mount Gravatt, Camp Hill, Bulimba, Logan, and Redland City.
