Highlands Trees

Severe weather across the Southern Highlands brings branches down and snaps trunks, and the damage it leaves standing is the part that catches people out. Highlands Trees works out of Bowral and services every suburb and village around it: Alpine, Aylmerton, Berrima, Burradoo, Colo Vale, Glenquarry, Kangaloon, Mittagong, Moss Vale, Robertson, Welby and Woodlands. We are locally owned, the crew on the tools are qualified arborists, and the business is fully insured.

Storm clean-up means more than clearing the driveway. Broken branches left up in a tree become an entry point for disease, so the longer they stay there the more of the tree you stand to lose later on. We take the hazard down, cut the broken limbs back cleanly so the wounds can close over, and leave the property safe and tidy enough for you to get on with the rest of your own clean up. If a limb has come down across a driveway or a fence line and you cannot get past it, that is a call worth making straight away.

Dead or dying, damaging the house, or standing exactly where your plans need to go: those are the trees that end up coming out, and taking one down is dangerous and complex work to attempt yourself. We bring the equipment and the qualified hands for the dismantling and the felling, then handle the cleanup and disposal afterwards, so what you are left with is a clear and safe property and no heap of timber sitting in the yard waiting on you.

Plenty of what we get called out for never comes to that. Our pruning and dead limbing promotes healthy growth and improves the overall health of a tree, and it stops limbs dropping onto a car, a shed or a person. Hedge reduction does the same sort of favour for a hedge that has got away from you. Bringing it back opens the view up again, lets more natural light down into the garden so whatever is planted underneath has a chance, and makes the next few years of maintenance a good deal easier.

The business is growing and we are taking on qualified arborists and apprentices as it does, but the name on the enquiries is still Josh Millbank, our lead arborist. Ring Josh, tell him what the tree is doing and where it is standing, and he will come out and have a look at it. Quotes are free and carry no obligation.
