Nicol's Trees

The figure worth asking any arborist for is their public liability cover. Ours runs to twenty million dollars and it stands behind every job Nicol's Trees takes on. Kelvin Nicol runs the business himself, based locally in Hazelbrook, with sixteen years working as an arborist behind him. Quotes cost you nothing and the prices are pitched to be worth ringing about.

A block up here is a different proposition to a flat backyard down on the plain. The ground falls away behind the house, the established trees are usually the ones you want kept, and everything left standing has to be looked at again before each fire season. Fire hazard reduction is a standing part of our year, pulling fuel back from houses, sheds and boundary lines so a property has room around it. Where a tree does have to come out and there is no clear space to drop it, we take it down from the top in sections and work the pieces out through whatever access the block gives us.

Between the bigger jobs we keep trees in order. Our pruning and general tree maintenance keeps a canopy off a roofline and clear of powerlines and fences, our hedging holds a hedge to the shape you want, and hedge removal is there for the ones that have outgrown the spot they were planted in. After a tree removal our stump grinding takes the stump out so the ground can be replanted or paved, and our land clearing handles a block that has gone to scrub or needs opening up before a build. Preservation is on the list alongside all of it, because plenty of trees people ring us about turn out to be worth keeping.

Our patch runs all areas from Parramatta across to Blacktown, and from Penrith up the mountains to Katoomba, with Hazelbrook in the middle of it. The phone is open 24 hours, so a limb that comes down at two in the morning gets the same answer as one that comes down at two in the afternoon.
