Urban Tree Care

Urban Tree Care is a proud, family owned and operated business based in Port Stephens, serving homes and businesses across the region for over 15 years. The principal arborist, Glenn, brings more than 20 years in the tree industry and holds AQF Level 5 certification, which is the consulting end of the trade rather than the climbing end alone, and it means the advice you get about a tree is worth as much as the work done to it. The promise the business makes is a simple three word one, safely, promptly and reliably, and the qualified arborists work strictly to all relevant Australian standards.

The bread and butter is tree removal, whether the tree is dead, unsafe or simply in the way of what a block needs to become. Tree pruning and tree lopping bring a canopy back under control, deadwood removal takes the dangerous timber out of a crown before it comes down of its own accord, and general tree maintenance keeps the whole thing on an even keel year to year. Stump grinding finishes the job below ground, which prevents regrowth, removes a genuine trip hazard, tidies the look of a yard and takes away a home for pests.

For larger sites, block and land clearing prepares ground for building or for fire safety, and mulching and wood chipping processes the material on site so the green waste becomes something useful rather than a haulage bill. On the professional side, Urban Tree Care provides arboricultural consultancy, arborist reports and arboricultural impact assessments, the AIA reports that support development applications and keep a council happy about the trees a project intends to keep or remove.

What comes through in how the business presents itself is care about the process rather than just the result. Full insurance is maintained on all vehicles and equipment, staff are trained in safe work methods to Australian standards, and the values put forward are quality, value, safety, professionalism and customer satisfaction. For a homeowner, that translates into a crew that knows what it is doing on a tight suburban block and cleans up after itself. Trading hours are Monday to Friday, 7:00am to 6:00pm, with Saturday and Sunday by appointment, so a weekend job is possible if it suits you better.

Urban Tree Care works throughout Port Stephens, Newcastle and the Hunter Valley, including Medowie, Raymond Terrace, Nelson Bay, Salamander Bay, Anna Bay, Shoal Bay, Corlette, Fern Bay, Williamtown, Karuah, Maitland and the surrounding towns.
