For over 30 years, our family crew has thinned canopies to AS 4373 code, cabled brittle limbs before the westerlies strike, and cleared wind-thrown timber off Bruxner Highway at all hours. We thermal-scan hollows for wildlife, chip debris into garden-ready mulch and lodge every pruning plan with Ballina Shire for hassle-free DAs.
CULTIVATING RED-SOIL CARE
Alstonville shelters Big Scrub remnants on fertile basalt, red cedar regrowth and Bundjalung bush-foods beneath heritage camphors. We prune canopies and thin Main Street crowns, keeping hollows for micro-bats and fruit-doves. Each cut follows AS 4373 and Ballina Shire canopy rules, guarding local heritage while meeting arborist compliance through seasons.
Permit-ready pruning plans streamline DA timelines and sharpen kerb appeal for tenants.
Crown-lifting opens harvest lanes; deadwood clears cattle fences, chips mulched back to rows.
FULL TREE SERVICES, ONE LOCAL CREW
Home garden, macadamia row or Main-Street café, whatever you manage, we bring a single plan that covers pruning, removals, storm call-outs and recycled mulch, all logged for council compliance.
YOUR EXPERIENCE MATTERS
From homeowners on Main Street to the orchard owners along Wardell Road, our work is part of the Alstonville landscape. See what your neighbours are saying, and if you have your own experience with our team, we encourage you to leave a review.
From orchard care on the fertile red soil to managing trees in residential gardens, here are answers to common questions we hear on the Alstonville plateau. For anything else, our local team is here to help.
A tree lopper often makes indiscriminate cuts that can damage the tree's structure. Our Certified Arborists (AQF Level 5) use specific pruning techniques, like selective thinning, to improve light penetration for fruit yield and improve structural strength against wind, vital for the health and productivity of high-value trees such as macadamias on the Alstonville Plateau.
Yes, in most cases. Even though Camphor Laurel is a declared priority weed under the NSW Biosecurity Act 2015, its removal often requires a permit to ensure it's done correctly without impacting protected neighbouring trees. We can file the necessary paperwork, including a formal arborist report, to help make council approval a smooth process.
Our on-call crew is local to the Northern Rivers. You can call our 24/7 emergency service anytime. Our team is equipped to make the area safe, even if it's 2 a.m. and requires a crane to clear heavy limbs from driveways or buildings. We prioritise making your property safe first and foremost.
Our office handles weekly enquiries from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday to Friday. When you request a free quote, one of our qualified arborists will visit your site. They'll assess tree health, access for machinery and any specific risks before providing a detailed, fixed-price quote with no hidden surprises.
Absolutely. The woodchips from your job can be delivered back to your property as nutrient-rich organic mulch. It's particularly excellent for improving water retention and adding vital organic matter back into Alstonville's unique, free-draining volcanic soils. Just let us know you'd like to keep it.
Trees shape Alstonville’s red-soil slopes and shelter valuable orchards from hot westerly winds. Without skilled care, however, they can split in our region’s storms. Our arborists also serve the nearby coast and valley towns, including Lismore, Casino, Evans Head and Ballina.
As custodians of the Alstonville plateau, you know its red earth feeds fast-growing camphors and can push roots sideways.
We partner with you, offering everything from selective pruning and safe removals to stump grinding and storm response, so your orchards and village gardens stay healthy and productive. Our full service area includes:
