Large-scale tree management in the Northern Rivers needs proper credentials. For 30 years, the Steve Cubis family crew has backed councils, builders, schools and strata managers from Lismore to Casino. We follow AS 4373-2007 pruning standards, hold $20M public liability cover and run low-impact machinery for tight sites. Safety, schedule and biodiversity stay front and centre, keeping your project on track.
Clear veg, fell trees, grind stumps and chip waste so earthworks can start without costly delays.
Scheduled pruning, hazard reduction and tree health monitoring for schools, resorts, strata complexes and body corporates.
SCALABLE WORK, RELIABLE DELIVERY
Public parks, rooftop bars and macadamia pack-sheds all depend on trees that are strong, documented and deadline-proof. Picture a Ballina hotel losing its shade palms a week before school holidays, or a DA stalled after roots choke a new sewer main with each setback costing thousands per day. Whether you need full-site removals, 2.4-metre clearance pruning, or an AQF 5 arborist report, we bundle audits, council liaison, traffic control, wildlife rescue and debris recycling into one accountable service. What you can expect:
YOUR DEADLINES, OUR PROMISE
Work windows are planned around school terms, retail hours and traffic curfews. We use low-noise grinders and recycle 100% of green waste into certified mulch, all while minimising disruption to your operations.
Safeguarding Budgets, Ensuring Safety
Different commercial sites share one truth: unmanaged trees cost money. Storm-broken branches close playgrounds, root heave cracks pavements and non-compliant canopies delay approvals. A proactive tree program protects budgets, reputations and public safety. Project managers choose us for transparent quotes and SMS updates.
Fast DA tree reports, safe clearing, stump removal and tree protection zones that withstand site machinery.
Route inspections, canopy lifts and risk reports keep parks, nature strips and sports ovals open and compliant.
Annual pruning, hazard removal and 24/7 emergency call-outs keep staff, students and tenants safe.

FEEDBACK FROM BUSINESS CLIENTS
From council parks to developer sites, project managers rely on our crane lifts, traffic control, and DA-ready reports to meet deadlines and budgets. We liaise with planners so you don’t miss a milestone. If we delivered on your commercial project, please leave a testimonial to guide other decision-makers.
Implementing AS 4970 tree-protection guidelines for trees on development sites involves upfront costs for things like protective fencing and root zone mapping. However, it's widely recognised in the industry that these measures often prevent costly rework of paving, pipes and other infrastructure later, potentially saving a significant portion of landscaping budgets. Our AQF-5 team supplies compliant tree reports that your certifier will need and we can discuss the long-term cost benefits of AS 4970.
For agricultural sites like macadamia orchards in the Northern Rivers, strategically placed shelter belts or shade trees are very important. They help prevent wind-scorch, which can significantly reduce nut yield. Our year-round pruning programs are designed to lift canopy clearance for machinery access without sacrificing this vital shade. You can ask us about our experience with local agricultural tree management.
Yes, it can make a difference. Studies have shown that mature street trees and property shade trees can notably reduce surrounding land temperatures on hot days, which in turn can lessen the load on air conditioning systems by a measurable amount. We can advise you on strategic tree planting combined with recycled mulch. Feel free to ask our team about potential energy savings through smart tree placement.
Major storm events in our region often lead to significant insured losses, with a large portion attributed to wind-felled trees damaging property or disrupting business. A proactive hazard assessment of your commercial property's trees, combined with access to 24/7 emergency tree work, is a smart way to manage this risk. You can also ask us about our storm-readiness advice for businesses.
We operate strictly under NSW law. This means our licensed fauna spotters carefully relocate any micro-bats, possums, bird nests, or other wildlife encountered, following the NSW Biodiversity Offsets Scheme guidelines. All relocation data is recorded and can be provided for your SWMS and council permit needs, demonstrating how good environmental practice supports your project.
