Outback Tree Service

Outback Tree Service has been going since 2004, covering residential and commercial tree work across Central West New South Wales. The staff are described as qualified arborists and tree surgeons, and the business is fully insured. Its stated values are plain enough: safety, quality workmanship and ethical business. Two decades in the one region is the sort of tenure that only comes from repeat work.

What is worth noting is the spread of client. Outback works for individual homeowners, but also holds work with regional councils, large businesses, schools and government contracts. Those are jobs that come with tender paperwork, site inductions and insurance requirements, and they are not the sort of work a business picks up by accident. The domestic customer gets the same crew either way.

Tree work is carried out under AS4373, the Australian Standard for pruning amenity trees, which the site ties to tree health rather than to compliance for its own sake. That covers tree pruning and the shaping and thinning where a bad cut does damage that only shows up years later. Pruning to a standard rather than by eye is the difference between a tree that recovers and one that starts declining from the wound.

The service list runs to tree removal, lopping and felling, tree pruning, land clearing, stump removal and stump grinding. Behind it sits a bobcat, an excavator, a wood chipper, cherry pickers, stump grinders and chainsaws. The cherry pickers are the useful bit for work above a fence line or a shed, and the bobcat and excavator are what make land clearing on a rural block a job of days rather than weeks. Nothing on the list is exotic, but between the machines and the climbing gear there is not much a Central West property throws up that cannot be handled.

Coverage is Dubbo and surrounds, out across the Central West and into Western New South Wales. Fifteen years of combined expertise is how the site sums the crew up. For anyone west of the mountains looking at a tree that has outgrown its spot, or a paddock that needs opening up, Outback is one of the longer standing options in the district.
