Territory Arbor

Overhanging a house, hard up against the fence, or standing somewhere the truck simply cannot get to: those are the jobs Territory Arbor gets called out for. Difficult trees and tight access are what we are set up for, and when a site needs a crane we bring one in instead of dropping the tree in pieces over your roof. Mick, our lead arborist, has been climbing for more than 16 years and has worked for the big tree companies in both the Northern Territory and Sydney.

Ian and Janelle own the business and bring roughly 30 years of running one to it, and Matt keeps the office side moving, the quotes, the receipts and the crew schedule. We have been in the tree industry since 2006. The team holds all the necessary licences and is fully insured, and where a job calls for gear or skills outside our own, we bring in certified contractors we have worked alongside for years.

Tree removal covers the lot, from a palm in a courtyard to a mature shade tree hanging over a driveway, no matter how big or how small. We also do the tree trimming that keeps a canopy in order: the overhanging limbs, the deadwooding, and the thinning that takes wind load out of a crown before the wet. If a tree is sitting over a building or the only way in is a side gate, that is worth mentioning when you call, because it changes whether we are climbing it, roping it down or booking a crane for the day.

Our phone is answered 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and the 24/7 emergency number is the same one as the office. A tree down across the driveway at two in the morning is not something to sit on until Monday, and a limb resting on a roofline after a blow is worse the longer it sits there. Ring it whenever it happens and someone will pick up.

Land clearing gets a block ready to build on and cuts fire breaks in before the dry sets in properly. We hire out an excavator if you want one on your own job, and we sell mulch by the load, so what comes off one property can go straight onto somebody's garden beds rather than into a tip.

We work out of Coolalinga, across Darwin and out through the rest of the Northern Territory. Mick does the site assessments and the quoting himself, so the bloke pricing your job is the one who has to climb it. Ring 0456 248 167 and tell us what you have got.
