Fortitude Tree Services

Trees on leased land in Canberra can be protected under the Urban Forest Act 2023, which means the job often starts with paperwork long before anyone climbs anything. At Fortitude Tree Services we handle the tree activity applications, we write the tree management plans that protected tree zones require, and we take on the removal or the major pruning once the approval is in place. We are fully insured, we have years of arboriculture behind us, and we work from our base at Florey across the greater Canberra region.

Getting a mature tree off a residential block safely takes the right gear as much as the right hands, and we have both. We remove trees of all sizes, we take on palm tree removal separately because a palm comes down nothing like a hardwood, and we clear vegetation from around power lines where the clearance work calls for it. Whatever the size, we treat the landscape it is standing in with care and leave the property neat when we go.

Where a tree is worth keeping, our pruning and trimming improves its structure, its health and how it looks, and taking out the dead and damaged branches is what brings the risk down. Dead wooding and tree canopy maintenance keep an established tree in good order year to year, and hedge trimming holds a screen at the height and shape you want it.

Once a tree is out, stump grinding and stump removal take the remainder from the ground. What we cut gets chipped on site, and we can leave the mulch with you or take it away, whichever suits. We also run mulch supply and delivery and wood chip delivery as services in their own right, so if you need a load for your beds you do not have to be having tree work done to get one. Planting is on the list too, for putting something back where a tree has come out.

Fencing sits alongside the tree work, which is a natural pairing given how often a fence line is what the tree came down on in the first place, and it means one crew can sort out both without you chasing a second trade.

We look after residential customers across Belconnen, Woden Valley, Weston Creek, Tuggeranong, Molonglo Valley and Gungahlin, and the office is open Monday to Friday, 7.30am to 3pm. Quotes and advice are free, whether you have one branch reaching over the roof or a whole block to get under control. Ring us on 02 6189 4539.
