Green Geeks Tree Services

Green Geeks Tree Services is a family-owned and operated arborist business based in Hervey Bay, Queensland. Established in 2022 but backed by 18 years of combined industry experience, the business is led by Michael Mellor, a third-generation arborist who holds a Certificate III in Arboriculture Practices, with Ashlee Mellor looking after the office side of things. It's a genuinely local outfit that takes tree care seriously — fully covered by $20 million in public liability insurance, Workcover compliant and run to strict OH&S policies — while keeping a friendly, down-to-earth manner. As they like to put it: "Leaf it with us and you won't be barking up the wrong tree again!"

The core of the business is safe, professional tree removal. Whether a tree has outgrown its space, become unsafe or simply needs to make way for something new, the team removes trees of all sizes cleanly and efficiently, taking care to protect the surrounding property and garden. For the coastal blocks so common around Hervey Bay, palm tree removal, cleaning and trimming is a particular specialty, keeping palms tidy, healthy and free of dead fronds.

Ongoing tree health and appearance are well covered too. Tree trimming shapes and lightens established trees, fruit tree pruning encourages healthier growth and better crops on backyard orchards, and hedge trimming keeps boundaries and screening plants crisp and well maintained. Every cut is made with an arborist's understanding of how the tree will respond, so plants are left healthier rather than simply cut back.

Once a tree is down, Green Geeks Tree Services finishes the job neatly with stump grinding, grinding out the remaining stump so the space can be reclaimed for lawn, paving or planting. The green waste doesn't go to landfill either — the team offers a mulch supply service, turning removed material into useful mulch for local gardens. Looking further ahead, their planting programmes help property owners re-establish the right trees in the right spots for lasting shade, screening and value.

Trading under ABN 97 673 532 104 and servicing Hervey Bay and the surrounding Fraser Coast, Green Geeks Tree Services operates Monday to Friday, 6:30am to 5pm, with the office contactable from 9am to 4pm.
