Coal Coast Tree Services

Crane trucks, rigging systems and grinders small enough to walk down a side path are what let us say yes to the awkward jobs. Kane owns and operates Coal Coast Tree Services as a family business, our arborists hold Certificate III and Certificate V in Arboriculture with over ten years of local experience, and we are fully insured. Kane is on site running the work, so the person who quotes your job is the person who oversees it.

From Helensburgh down to Kiama is the ground we cover, taking in Wollongong, Thirroul, Dapto, Albion Park and Shellharbour across the wider Illawarra. Homeowners, property managers and commercial clients are all on the books, and the range runs from a small ornamental in a courtyard to a massive eucalypt on a development site.

A tight suburban block is where the method shows. With a house on one side, a shed on the other and powerlines overhead, heavy limbs get lowered on ropes and pulleys a piece at a time so nothing takes a hit, and where the work sits near the network we coordinate the clearance with Ausgrid and Endeavour Energy requirements before we start. Every tree removal finishes with a full site cleanup, so what you are left with is a yard, not a work site.

For the trees staying put, our tree pruning follows Australian Standard AS4373-2007, covering crown reduction and shaping, deadwood removal, formative pruning on young trees and seasonal schedules matched to the species, which also keeps your work compliant for council and insurance purposes. Stump grinding goes 15 to 30cm below ground so there is no regrowth, no trip hazard and nothing to draw termites, and the compact machines get into tight backyards and sloped blocks. We take on land clearing for new builds, bushfire hazard reduction and development work, and palm removal for Canary Island Date Palms, Cocos and Washingtonia.

There is a paperwork side too. Our arborist reports are written for council permits, insurance claims and development applications, our tree health inspections cover disease diagnosis and structural assessment, and we give root management advice where roots are lifting a driveway, a path or a slab. Emergency work runs 24/7 with same day response when a tree is on the roof or across the drive. If you are not sure what you actually need, ring 0418 500 743. We will come out, take a look and tell you straight, and the quote is free.
