Touchwood Tree Services

One hundred and sixty nine Google reviews sitting on a five star average is the first thing we would point you at. Touchwood Tree Services has been going since 2011, founded by Brendan Jones, a second generation arborist with close to twenty years on the tools, and it is still family owned and operated today. Our arborists are qualified, and our insurance documents come out to you without you having to ask for them.

Everything from a single hazardous tree through to a technical removal beside a pool, a fence or a house comes under our tree removal and tree felling, where the only way down is on ropes, piece by piece. We rig those jobs carefully, we clean up thoroughly afterwards, and you will know what is happening at every stage of it.

With tree pruning we trim, thin and shape a tree to what you actually want, in a way that keeps its structure and its long term health intact. Done properly, it brings down the risk of a limb letting go in a blow and encourages balanced growth through the rest of the canopy.

Trunks and branches go through the chipper on site, so the chipping and mulching means you are not left standing in a pile of green waste once we drive off. We then bring the grinder in for stump grinding, taking out the stump and the roots so the ground is ready for lawn, landscaping or a slab, with nothing left to trip over or reshoot in six months. On the bigger jobs, site clearing deals with an overgrown block or a whole yard of trees in one coordinated effort.

Our 24/7 emergency service is there for storm call outs and for any tree that has turned into an immediate danger. If your job needs council authorisation, we will help you obtain a council permit, and we can run a 10/50 area check on your address so you know where you stand before anything gets cut.

The crews work right across Newcastle and Lake Macquarie and the suburbs around the lake. Ask us for a quote and it will not cost you a cent. Ring us or send an email with the address and what the tree is doing, and we will come out, look at it and give you a straight answer on what it needs.
