Mowat Trees

Mowat Trees is a certified local arborist business serving the Gold Coast and the Northern Rivers, run by owner Brad, who brings hands-on tree experience gained across Australia and overseas. The business is built around three simple priorities: keeping trees healthy, keeping properties safe, and looking after the local environment. Brad holds ISA arborist certification, a QTRA tree-risk qualification, NPTC chainsaw accreditation and public liability insurance, and every job is carried out to Australian Standard AS 4373.

Tree pruning is a core part of what Mowat Trees provides, covering crown reduction to bring down a tree's height, pruning branches back from rooftops and fencelines, canopy thinning to let more light through, deadwooding to remove dead limbs, and crown lifting to improve clearance underneath. Careful pruning keeps trees structurally sound, improves their appearance and reduces the risk of falling branches. The business also carries out tree and palm removal, safely taking down trees and palms that are dead, diseased, storm-damaged, overgrown or simply in the wrong spot, and clearing the resulting green waste from the site.

For gardens and boundaries that need shaping, Mowat Trees offers hedge trimming to keep both formal and informal hedges neat, dense and healthy. Once a tree comes down, the business provides stump grinding to grind stumps out below ground level so the area can be reused, along with stump poisoning treatment where grinding is not the best option. Green waste created during the work is chipped and removed, so clients are left with a clean, usable space rather than a pile of branches and debris.

Beyond cutting and removal, Mowat Trees helps owners manage their whole property. The business offers weed identification and removal, helping clients recognise and clear noxious species such as camphor laurel, cocos palm and umbrella tree. It also provides native tree selection and planting advice, guiding people toward trees suited to local soil conditions that attract native wildlife, and carries out property safety assessments and tree risk assessments to spot hazards early. This full-service approach comes from a certified, insured arborist who works to recognised industry standards.

Mowat Trees services the Gold Coast, Southport, Surfers Paradise, Burleigh Heads, Robina, Nerang, the Northern Rivers, and surrounding areas.
