Touchwood Tree Services

Touchwood Tree Services is a family-owned and operated arborist business serving the Newcastle and Lake Macquarie region of NSW. Established in 2011 by founder Brendan Jones, a second-generation arborist with nearly twenty years of hands-on experience, the business pairs a team of qualified arborists with modern equipment to keep local properties safer, healthier and better looking. The site voice is professional yet neighbourly, offering friendly, timely service you can afford and a promise to leave every property in better shape than they found it while cultivating the community yard by yard, affordably and sensibly.

The team specialises in Tree Removal and Tree Felling, safely taking down trees from the ground up, including difficult jobs in tight or awkward spots near pools, fences and structures. Every removal is handled by qualified arborists using state-of-the-art equipment and sound safety practices, with thorough cleanup and clear communication from the first free quote through to completion. Whether it is a single hazardous tree or a challenging technical removal that calls for careful rigging, the crew works methodically to protect the surrounding property, gardens and everyone on site.

Ongoing tree health and appearance are managed through Tree Pruning, where branches are trimmed, thinned and shaped to the desired specifications while preserving each tree's overall structure and long-term vitality. Correct pruning reduces the risk of falling limbs and encourages strong, balanced growth. Once trees or large limbs come down, Chipping and Mulching processes the timber on site, feeding trunks and branches through the chipper to produce wood chips and mulch and greatly reducing the green waste left behind for the property owner to deal with.

For a clean finish below ground, Stump Grinding removes leftover stumps and roots so the area is ready for new landscaping, lawn or construction, with no unsightly stump left to trip over or resprout. Larger jobs are covered by Site Clearing, which tackles overgrown blocks and multiple trees at once, clearing entire yards and debris in one coordinated effort. Touchwood Tree Services also provides a 24/7 Emergency Service for storm callouts and urgent, dangerous tree issues, and can assist clients to Obtain a Council Permit for any work that requires local council authorisation, making the whole process simpler from start to finish.
