Tree Doctor Tasmania

TasNetworks certification is what lets us work on a tree that has grown into the network's lines, which is the difference between one crew turning up and a job that stalls for a fortnight while somebody else is organised. Tree Doctor Tasmania is based at Stony Rise on the edge of Devonport, fully insured, with certified arborists and horticulturalists on staff who are trained in arborist safety and have years behind them climbing, chipping and working at height.

A tree in a tight spot or on uneven ground is hard to get at, and that is where climbing arboriculture earns its keep. Our climbers go up and take the tree down piece by piece where a machine cannot be brought in, and the same skills go into hazardous removals after a blow. When a storm has left a tree part broken or hanging, our emergency tree service gets the hazard off your property before it finishes coming down on its own.

Tree pruning is done to the proper cuts rather than whatever is quickest, because a tree that is butchered once carries that for the rest of its life. Where the tree is past that, tree removal covers a tree in decline, one that has already died, one that has become a safety risk to the public, and the ones that simply have to make way for a build. If you want the tree looked at before any of that is decided, our arborists will give you an honest read on it.

What comes down gets dealt with on site. Wood chipping turns the limbs and foliage into mulch you can use, and the trunk wood can be cut into blocks for firewood instead of being carted off. We run a fleet of cherry pickers for work at height where climbing is not the right call, and a large fleet of machinery for excavation and digging. Then there is the stump. Stump grinding and removal gets rid of what is left, and it matters more than people expect: a stump left in the ground draws termites, ants and other wood borers in close to the house. Whatever is left over after that goes with us under green waste removal.

We cover northern Tasmania, from Devonport, Ulverstone, Penguin, Latrobe and Sheffield through Burnie, Wynyard and Smithton in the north west, across to Deloraine, Westbury, Launceston, George Town and Scottsdale, and down the coasts to St Helens, St Marys, Bicheno, Campbell Town and Strahan.
