NSW Tree Services

NSW Tree Services is a family owned business that has been operating for over 10 years, working out of Panania in south west Sydney. The company is staffed by qualified arborists and describes its purpose in plain terms: proper tree care practices, delivered with an ethical and professional approach. It is a business that clearly thinks about trees as long term assets rather than obstacles, taking what it calls a holistic approach to the management of trees, on the view that tree care, maintenance and management are essential if trees and people are to coexist in an urban setting.

On the practical side, the crew handles tree removal where a tree has to go, along with pruning and deadwooding to bring a canopy back to a safe and healthy structure. Stump grinding clears away what is left below ground, and wood chipping and mulch supply means the green waste from a job can come back to the garden as useful mulch rather than going to landfill. Elevated work platforms are available for the trees that cannot safely or sensibly be climbed, which is often the right call over a roof, a pool or a road. The company also carries out tree replanting, which is not something every tree business offers, and it says a good deal about how they see the job.

The consulting arm is just as substantial. Arborist inspections and arborist reports and assessments cover the assessment, evaluation and documenting of trees in their environments, and the company sets out what a qualified arborist should actually do: identify trees, impart knowledge and understanding of species, highlight areas of concern, and make viable recommendations for proper tree care management. For anyone building, development tree assessments and construction impact assessments deal with the trees a project has to work around, while project arborist services and ongoing monitoring keep the protection measures in place once the work starts. Straight advice and referral is offered as well, for owners who simply need to know where they stand.

Being family owned and long established shows up in the way the business presents itself. There is a page for its professional membership, one for its insurance, and one for its team, which is a sign of a company that expects to be asked the hard questions before it is engaged on a significant tree. The tone throughout is measured and professional rather than pushy.

NSW Tree Services works across Sydney from its base at Panania, taking in the neighbouring suburbs of Revesby, East Hills, Picnic Point, Padstow, Milperra, Bankstown, Condell Park and the wider south western Sydney and Canterbury Bankstown area.
