Forest Tree Service

Three separate ISO certifications stand behind the way we run a job: 9001 for our management systems, 14001 for environment and 4801 for safety. Forest Tree Service has been working out of Belrose on the Northern Beaches since 2002, our arborists hold AQF Level 5, and the work we do complies with the relevant Australian Standards. We are members of Arboriculture Australia, fully insured, and every one of those ISO accreditations is certified by an independent auditor.

Behind the crews is a late model fleet and high performance equipment, which matters more on site than it sounds on paper. A chipper sized for what is actually coming down, a truck that starts every morning and rigging gear in good condition are the difference between a removal that takes a day and one that drags into a second.

The work itself covers tree removal for anything from a hazardous gum over a house to a row of trees that has outgrown a driveway, and tree pruning where a canopy needs shaping, thinning or lifting clear of a roof. Stump grinding follows a removal so the ground can be turfed, planted or paved, and site and land clearing takes a block back to workable ahead of a development. Ongoing tree maintenance is there for owners and managers who would rather have the trees looked at on a cycle.

Our arborist reports are written by AQF Level 5 arborists, which is the level councils expect. We write them for development applications, tree removal applications, insurance claims and neighbour disputes, and each one sets out what condition the tree is in and what can reasonably be done with it, in a form an assessing officer or an insurer can work from.

Our clients run from a single household through to strata committees, schools, golf courses, commercial sites and local councils, and we run a rigorous work health and safety system across all of it. We cover the Northern Beaches, the Upper North Shore and Lower North Shore, the Inner West, the Eastern Suburbs and the Sydney CBD, and we travel to the Central Coast and Wollongong. If you want a tree looked at, a block quoted or a report written, call us on 02 9451 9057 or send an email and we will arrange a time to come out.
