Fortitude Tree Services

Fortitude Tree Services is a professional tree care company serving the greater Canberra region, and has been looking after Canberra and Queanbeyan locals for over a decade. Canberra is known for its abundance of trees lining streets and filling parks, gardens and backyards, and caring for that landscape takes professionals with real expertise in arboriculture. Founded by a team of passionate, experienced arborists, the company has built a reputation for excellence by consistently delivering strong results and going above and beyond for its clients. Trading as Fortitude Tree and Fencing Services under ABN 52 651 564 895, the team specialises in all aspects of tree surgery, and is experienced, fully insured and equipped with the right machinery to get the job done properly.

The core of the business is tree removal. Whether it is a mature tree that has outgrown its position or a large branch extending over the house, the crew has the experience and equipment to safely and efficiently remove trees of all sizes from residential properties. Tree pruning and trimming keeps the trees that are staying in good order, maintaining their overall health and structural integrity while taking out dead, damaged or diseased branches before they compromise the tree or drop somewhere awkward. Once a tree is down, stump grinding deals with what is left behind, since stumps become a trip hazard, a haven for termites and other unwanted insects, and an eyesore in an otherwise tidy garden.

Beyond the main three, Fortitude offers hedge trimming for the hedges that do so much work in Canberra gardens providing privacy and cutting noise, plus dead wooding, tree canopy maintenance, palm tree removal and power line clearance. Green waste does not go to waste either: the team handles chipping and mulching on site and runs a wood chip delivery and mulch supply service throughout Canberra, providing a renewable product for landscaping and garden beds at an affordable price. Tree and shrub planting rounds things out, with advice on selection, proper planting and ongoing monitoring so new greenery has the best chance of thriving. The related arm, Fortitude Fencing, installs Colorbond, hardwood timber paling, security and aluminium slat fences and gates.

Local knowledge counts for a lot here. In Canberra, trees on leased land may be protected under the Urban Forest Act 2023, and Fortitude ensures compliance with tree protection laws, managing tree activity applications and handling removal or major pruning where it is needed. The team also carries out tree health assessments to identify potential issues or hazards before they become a problem, and prepares tree management plans for activities in protected tree zones. Every job is approached with attention to detail, a safety conscious mindset and respect for the property: the crew treats your landscape with care and leaves everything neat and tidy afterwards, understanding that established trees often hold sentimental value worth preserving.

Fortitude Tree Services covers all of Canberra and the wider ACT region, including Belconnen, Woden Valley, Weston Creek, Tuggeranong, Molonglo Valley and Gungahlin, along with nearby Queanbeyan. The office takes calls Monday to Friday, 7:30am to 3:00pm, and free quotes and no obligation advice are available on how to manage your vegetation and reach the outcome you are after.
