Shane & Catherine's Tree Service

Shane & Catherine's Tree Service has been looking after trees in south west Sydney for more than 28 years, working from Mount Annan across the Macarthur and Camden districts. It is a locally owned, owner operated business, registered and insured, and run by Shane and Catherine themselves rather than a call centre. Nearly three decades in the same community is its own kind of reference: the trees they pruned as young growth are the ones they are now managing at maturity, and the people who ring them tend to be the people they worked for last time.

The service list covers the whole life of a tree. Tree pruning and tree branch removal keep a canopy safe, balanced and clear of roofs, gutters and fence lines, while tree lopping reduces a tree that has outgrown its position. When a tree has to go, tree removal is handled properly and cleanly, and stump grinding and removal takes out what is left below the surface so the lawn or garden bed can be reclaimed. Hedge trimming keeps a boundary hedge dense and square rather than leggy, and the green waste does not go to waste: wood chip and mulch supplies are available to locals who want it back on their own garden beds.

For the paperwork side of tree ownership, arborist tree reports are prepared for council applications, development matters and disputes, which spares owners the awkward position of having to argue a case for or against a tree without anything in writing to stand on. The philosophy Shane and Catherine work to is that a tree can be made safe without being ruined, so the aim is to maintain both the safety and the beauty of a tree rather than sacrificing its appearance to get the job done quickly.

The stated values are promptness, quality workmanship, and getting the job done right every time, and there is a 24 hour emergency tree service for the trees that will not wait, with a call out fee applying for after hours quoting. Normal trading is Monday to Saturday, 8:00am to 6:00pm, closed Sunday, which means a Saturday job is a normal booking rather than a favour.
