J K Cooper Tree Services

The State Emergency Service is one of our clients. J K Cooper Tree Services has operated in the Hunter since 1986, and Jamie and Caroline Cooper bring 40 years of combined experience in arboriculture to a family business that works for residential, commercial and government clients as well as schools, churches and community organisations.

Tree removal should be the last resort. Where it is genuinely necessary we take out anything from one problem tree to a whole site, and we will sort out the tree removal permit side of it for you, because taking a tree out without approval can land you with a fine. Where a tree can be saved, cable bracing supports the ones carrying structural weakness so they can stay where they are.

Tree pruning and tree surgery are done by trained arboricultural specialists, with dead wooding to clear the dead, dying and diseased branches out of a canopy before they drop. Once a tree is down, stump removal and stump grinding take out what has been left in the ground.

Our 24 hour storm service is exactly what it sounds like. When a tree has come down on a house or a car, or people are at risk where they stand, we do the emergency removal, and the storm clean-up and recovery afterwards gets the property back to something like normal.

On the bigger jobs, land clearing and block clearing take in the felling, hauling and disposal, scrub clearing is done in a way that keeps the soil integrity intact, and we handle noxious weed control and mechanical trittering where the ground is sensitive. The waste goes through mulching, wood chipping and tree recycling. On paper we produce arborist reports on tree health and stability, hazard and risk assessments, tree inspections including school grounds, tree management programs and land development consulting, and we run arborist training as well.

Our arborists hold Arborist II, III and Diploma qualifications, and the crews carry EWP, traffic control, skid steer, crane and dogman, first aid, Cert IV OHS and AQF 3 ChemUse tickets. We are fully insured, QMS approved and CM3 accredited, and we pay for an annual pre-qualification assessment of our health and safety management to keep that accreditation current. You will find us across Cessnock, Maitland, Singleton, Lake Macquarie, Newcastle and the Hunter Valley. Ring us for a free quote and tell us what the tree is doing.
