North Queensland Arboricultural Services

North Queensland Arboricultural Services is a family-owned and operated tree care business based in Gordonvale, just south of Cairns, living up to its motto: rooted in excellence, branching out with care. Established in North Queensland in 2010 by Ken and Annette, and now working alongside sons Christopher and Jesse, the team brings more than 40 years of combined industry experience to every job. Fully trade certified, licensed and insured, they pair a genuine small-business, personal touch with a professional, safety-first approach to tree care.

The core of the business is expert tree and palm removal and tree felling, safely taking down trees that are dead, unsafe or unwanted with careful regard for the surrounding property. For trees worth keeping, skilled tree pruning, crown lifting, deadwooding and climbing work keeps them healthy, well shaped and safely clear of homes, sheds and power lines — carried out with state-of-the-art equipment and proper training.

North Queensland Arboricultural Services also offers stump grinding to clear away what a removal leaves behind, along with root barrier installation to protect paths, pipes and foundations from invasive roots. Reflecting its tropical setting, the team provides specialist coconut de-nutting and palm cleaning to keep palms safe and tidy, as well as neat hedge trimming for a sharp, well-kept garden.

Committed to sustainability, the business turns green waste into a resource through woodchipping and mulching and green waste recycling, rather than sending it to landfill. The team also provides professional tree inspections and advice, tree planting and equipment hire — including an EWP cherry picker and an Avant articulated loader — offering a genuinely holistic approach to caring for trees from planting through to removal.

Operating from Gordonvale and open Monday to Friday, North Queensland Arboricultural Services covers the Cairns region from Palm Cove down to Gordonvale and extending south to Innisfail, taking in Cairns City and the southern suburbs. With a 25-year arboricultural legacy, full trade certification, high-risk work licensing and a warm, family-run ethos, North Queensland Arboricultural Services is a trusted choice for tree removal, pruning, stump grinding and all-round tree care across North Queensland.
