The Arborist Co

The Arborist Co is a Blue Mountains tree service based in Mount Victoria, with over ten years of experience in tree maintenance across the upper and lower mountains. The business takes on residential tree work of every size, and the focus stays on safe removals and clean, careful workmanship on properties where steep ground and awkward access are the norm rather than the exception.

Day to day, The Arborist Co handles tree removal, pruning and dead wooding. Whether it is a single hazardous limb hanging over a roofline or a full removal wedged into a tight backyard, trees are felled or dismantled in sections and the site is left clear at the end of the job.

Living in the mountains brings work that flatter suburbs never see, and this is where a lot of the time goes. The business creates bushfire asset protection zones to open up defendable space around homes, maintains trees over tracks and trees in public domains, and helps owners with DA tree compliance when a development application calls for trees to be assessed or removed. View management, thinning and lifting a canopy to bring back an outlook without butchering the tree, is another regular request.

Where a tree can be kept rather than cut, The Arborist Co leans toward keeping it, including retaining habitat trees that hollow-nesting birds and possums rely on. What does come down is not wasted either: timber is cut to firewood lengths and split, and the limbs are chipped on site for mulch, so a removal can leave a useful pile of wood and woodchip behind instead of a mess to cart away.

Based in Mount Victoria, The Arborist Co works the length of the Blue Mountains line, from Glenbrook in the east through Springwood, Lawson, Katoomba and Blackheath, up to Mount Victoria and out to Lithgow. For tree work on a mountains block, a call or a photo through to the team gets an honest read on what needs doing.
