Woodpecker Tree Services

The expert arborists at Woodpecker Tree Services have been taking care of trees in the area since 2003, which is better than two decades of looking after the capital's canopy. It is a local, family owned and operated business working out of Farrer in Canberra's inner south, and it provides tree maintenance throughout Canberra, Queanbeyan and the surrounding local rural areas. The team are highly experienced tree specialists, fully insured and qualified, and their approach is a straightforward one: reliable work at a competitive price, with no job too big or too small for their expert consideration.

Tree felling and tree removal make up the bulk of the work, taken on for private homes and rental properties as much as for apartment grounds and commercial establishments. Where a tree is staying, tree and hedge pruning brings it back into shape, and deadwood removal strips out the dead material that would otherwise come down on its own schedule. The team also deals with limb and structure interference, which is the everyday Canberra problem of a branch that has found its way onto a roof, a gutter, a shed or a fence line and needs taking back without damaging what is underneath it.

One capability sets this business apart from most tree crews in town. Woodpecker holds ActewAGL and Evoenergy accreditation, which qualifies the team to carry out power line clearing on energised power lines in the ACT region. That is specialist, tightly regulated work that an ordinary arborist is not permitted to touch, and it means vegetation growing into the network can be dealt with properly rather than left as somebody else's problem. Tree surveying is available too, for when a considered assessment is wanted before any decision is made.

The cleanup is treated as part of the job rather than an afterthought. Stump grinding takes out the stump once a tree is down, on-site chipping processes the branches where they fall, and the team handles the full removal of wood waste, so the property is left usable instead of buried under a pile of timber. Being fully insured and qualified matters here, particularly with the sort of work that happens near powerlines, buildings and boundary fences.

Woodpecker Tree Services covers Canberra across the ACT, neighbouring Queanbeyan in NSW, and the local rural areas around them. The team is available Monday to Friday from 7:00am to 5:00pm and Saturday mornings from 9:00am to 12:00pm. Phone 02 6286 8733 or 0400 11 22 91, or email [email protected] to arrange a quote.
