Tree Fix Tas

Around Launceston there are trees you can't legally touch without the council's say so, and working out whether yours is one of them comes before anyone starts cutting. We'll help you understand your local tree preservation order and keep the work compliant with your council's regulations. Tree Fix Tas is family owned, our arborists are qualified with 10 years of industry experience, and we work out of Travellers Rest just west of town.

Getting a tree off a block isn't the same job twice. Where there's open ground around it, tree felling is often the most cost-effective solution and the tree comes down in one piece. Where it's boxed in by a house, a shed or a fence line, tree removal means climbing it and bringing it down in pieces small enough to control the whole way. It's worth talking that through before anything starts, because the price and the mess look very different between the two.

A problem branch doesn't always mean a problem tree. Target pruning deals with the limbs growing over a fence line into a neighbour's yard or reaching in towards the house, taking off what's causing the trouble and leaving the rest of the tree standing where it is. Ordinary tree pruning is more about appearance and how a tree carries itself, thinning it out and clearing what has died back. Hedge trimming holds a hedge neat and tidy along its whole length.

From Travellers Rest we cover greater Launceston: Riverside, Riverside North and Riverside West, Mowbray, Invermay, Newstead, Punchbowl, East, West and South Launceston, Blackstone Heights, Summerhill, Prospect and Prospect Vale, Kings Meadows and Youngtown, then further out through Hadspen, Carrick, Westwood, Perth, Westbury and up to George Town. The phone runs 24 hours a day, Monday to Sunday. Quotes are free and we come to you: we'll go through your concerns and preferences, give you our read on the safety and health of the trees, and you can lodge the job through the booking system on our website whenever you're ready.
