Shane's Trees - Brisbane

Fifty million dollars in public liability, ten million in professional indemnity and three ISO accreditations head up the compliance file at Shane's Trees, and behind it sits close to forty years of family ownership. Every climbing arborist on the crew holds a Certificate III or Certificate IV in Arboriculture, and every staff member carries a construction white card, which is the standard a commercial site or a body corporate asks you to prove before you are let through the gate.

That level of cover changes what we can take on. Commercial tree removal and strata tree maintenance and removal sit alongside residential tree removal for a homeowner with one problem tree in the back garden, and the same crew and the same standards go to both. When a storm comes through Brisbane and leaves something dangerous behind, our emergency tree removal service runs 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

For the trees that are staying, tree pruning and tree lopping are done with the health of the tree and the look of the property both in mind, taking weight out of limbs that reach over a roof or a boundary before they turn into the reason for a removal. Palm tree removal deals with the palms that have outgrown their spot, and stump grinding finishes a job by taking the stump out of the ground rather than leaving it for the next owner to deal with.

Where a project needs documentation before it can start, our AQF qualified arborists prepare arborist reports for councils, developers and property owners. Land clearing takes on the bigger work, whether that is opening a block for development, keeping a site maintained through the growing season or cutting back to put distance between the bush and the buildings for bushfire safety.

The timber that comes off a site does not go to waste. It is turned into wood chip mulch and firewood supplies, both of which we sell, so the tree that came out of your yard can end up on somebody's garden bed or in their fireplace.

From the yard at Hemmant we cover more than seventy suburbs across Brisbane, Moreton Bay, Redland City, Logan City and Ipswich. Tell us what the tree is and where it is standing and we will get someone out to price it, and if it has already come down across something, the emergency line is answered around the clock.
