G McColl Tree Services

Our arborists hold AQF Level 5, the highest arboricultural certification there is in Australia, and that qualification stands behind every job G McColl Tree Services takes on across Sydney's North Shore and Northern Beaches. Working out of Frenchs Forest, we look after domestic and commercial customers, and we hold stringent health and safety standards throughout everything we do. Safety is the first thing we settle on any site, because the trees we get called to are almost always sitting close to a house, a fence line, a pool or a road.

Plenty of the work is heavy. On a big tree with nowhere clear to drop it, we bring in crane work so the sections come out over the roof and not through it, and we have the specialist equipment for land clearing on a block that has been left to go. Where a tree is staying put, we do the pruning, tree reduction and dead wooding that keeps it sound over a driveway or a play area, then take the leftovers out at ground level with stump grinding. Tree removal, tree lopping and hedge trimming make up the rest of what we are asked for.

Because the Level 5 qualification is already in the crew, we can also put an AQF Level 5 arborist report in your hand for council and development purposes. If you are lodging a DA, applying to take out a protected tree, or you need something in writing about a tree a neighbour has raised, the assessment comes from the same arborist who would carry out the work, so the advice and the job stay under the one roof.

When a limb comes down overnight or a tree splits in a southerly, ring us for 24 hour emergency storm work. We will make the area safe, get the hazard off the house, the car or the driveway, and clear away what has come down. That includes hanging limbs still caught up in a canopy, which are the ones most likely to move again before anybody gets to them.

From Frenchs Forest we cover the North Shore and the northern suburbs, taking in Turramurra, Wahroonga, Hornsby, Pymble, Gordon, St Ives, Killara, Roseville and Epping, along with Mona Vale, Warriewood and the wider Northern Beaches. One tree or a whole block, domestic or commercial, call us on 0403 134 299 and we will come and have a look at it before we give you a price.
