Horizon Tree Service

Hobart blocks are rarely flat. Steep ground, narrow driveways and gums that have grown well past the roofline are the normal conditions around here, and getting a tree off a site like that in one clean operation is what Horizon Tree Service has been doing since 2006. Glen runs the crew out of Lenah Valley, and the advice you get from us comes off more than 20 years of experience and training in the trade.

Trees close to powerlines and trees in confined spaces take the most planning, and both are ordinary work for us. We take out the dead and the dangerous, prune to bring views and sunlight back and to get diseased limbs out of a canopy, and clear vegetation away from service lines. Stump grinding follows a removal so there is no regrowth to deal with and the ground is ready for landscaping again, while land clearing gets a newly bought block ready for the first stages of a build. The work takes us from Hobart and Lenah Valley out through Glenorchy, Claremont, Brighton, Sandy Bay, Kingston, Acton Park, Sorell, Bellerive, Rokeby, Lindisfarne, Campania, New Norfolk and Huonville, and on to Orford and the East Coast.

Every job finishes with the site swept. Our woodchipper turns the branches into organic mulch where they fall, so what comes off your tree stays useful, and the crew rakes and clears the ground before anyone packs up. On steep or awkward sites the safety of the public and of our own team decides how the job is run, and we will not cut corners or take unnecessary risks to save an hour. We are fully licensed and insured, carrying $20 million in public liability cover along with workers compensation for every operator who sets foot on your property, and the arborist, climbers and ground crew are all qualified.

Quotes are free, they come to you in writing, and the advice attached to them is honest even when it is not what you were hoping to hear. Where a job can be done more than one way, we will put the range of options in front of you so you can choose the one that suits your budget and your trees. A 24 hour emergency service covers the storm damage that will not keep until morning. Ring Glen and he will get out to the site himself.
