Arborist services

Every tree service from one Gold Coast arborist.

Our arborists turn up on time with an EWP, cherry picker, chipper and loader. We go above and beyond to leave your site clean after the completion of work.

Tree removal

Trees of any size, including dangerous leaners and storm damaged eucalypts. Precision rigging when there is no room to drop it, and full debris removal included.

Learn more

Tree lopping and pruning

Reduce the size, clear the powerlines, take the weight off the house side. Approved techniques that keep the tree's natural shape instead of butchering it.

Learn more

Stump grinding

Ground out below the surface so nothing regrows and you get flat, usable lawn back. Any size stump, mulch removed or left for your garden beds.

Learn more

Palm removal

Palms are heavier and more awkward than they look. We take them down in sections, clear the fronds and grind the base out so it is finished properly.

Learn more

Government and council

Contract tree services for councils, authorities, body corporates and commercial sites. CM3 accredited for all storm and insurance works, $20M insured, with the SWMS and certificates supplied before we mobilise.

24 hour emergency

Why people call Our Team back

Why choose our Gold Coast arborists.

Anyone can cut a tree down. The difference with a qualified arborist shows up in their qualifications, full insurance and use of correct pruning techniques (AS4373-2007) to avoid unwanted epicormic regrowth. Final cuts must be made just outside the bark ridge and branch collar, without leaving long stubs or tearing bark.

Council

We can handle the permits

Not sure if your tree is protected? We will tell you straight, and we prepare and lodge the council application for you. No guessing, no fines.

Cleanup

No mess left behind

Everything chipped on site and property fully cleaned. Your property should look like we were never there.

  We couldn’t be happier with the service! From start to finish, they were friendly, professional and great at communicating. They worked incredibly hard, did an amazing job, and took such care to leave everything clean and tidy once the job was finished.

It’s clear they take pride in their work, and nothing was too much trouble. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, hardworking and professional tree lopper. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

  Super professional crews, well managed. A high standard of workplace health and safety made us feel secure whilst major tree and stump grinding operations were in progress. They cleaned up so well it was nearly impossible to tell they'd been there. Highly recommended.  Would definitely use them again.

  We recently engaged Professional Tree Works for a complex tree removal project on our property boundary, and we could not be happier with the result.

Glenn was professional, responsive, and patient throughout the entire process. He provided clear communication, proper documentation, insurance details, and kept us informed every step of the way.

A special thank you to Elai, whose workmanship and attention to detail were outstanding. He demonstrated exceptional skill, safety awareness, and professionalism while carrying out the tree removal and stump grinding. The site was left clean and tidy, and every aspect of the work was completed with great care and precision.

What impressed us most was their commitment to safety, respect for neighbouring properties, and willingness to go the extra mile to ensure everything was done properly.

In over twenty years of managing construction and engineering projects, I have worked with many contractors, and Glenn and Elai stand out as one of the most professional, trustworthy, and customer-focused teams I have encountered. I would not hesitate to use their services again and recommend them to family, friends, and colleagues.

Before you book

The questions we get asked most.

If yours is not here, call Our Team on 0412 666 682 and ask. No obligation, no sales pitch.

What is the difference between a qualified arborist and a tree lopper?

A qualified arborist holds a recognised AQF arboriculture qualification and is trained in tree biology, health, risk assessment and pruning to Australian Standards, so the work keeps your tree safe and structurally sound. A tree lopper is often just someone with a chainsaw and no formal training, and poor lopping can leave a tree weaker and more dangerous than before. Our team are certified arborists from AQF Level 3 to Level 5, so you get proper assessment, correct cuts and honest advice, not just a tree hacked back.

Do I need council approval to remove a tree on the Gold Coast?

It depends on the size, location and species. As a general rule, if the tree is over 4 metres tall or 40cm in girth, approval is required, though there are some exemptions. We assess your situation and prepare and lodge the council application for you if one is needed.

How much does tree removal cost?

It varies with the size, location, access and complexity of the job, which is why we quote rather than guess over the phone. Quotes are free, detailed and fixed price with no hidden fees, so you know exactly what to expect. See our Gold Coast tree removal page for what drives the price.

Can you remove trees near powerlines?

Yes. Our team is qualified to work safely around powerlines and utilities. We follow strict safety protocols and coordinate with the relevant authorities when a job requires it.

How long does tree removal take?

Most residential tree removals are completed in one day. Larger or more complex jobs may take two to three days. You get an accurate timeframe with your quote.

What is the difference between tree lopping and tree removal?

Tree lopping is trimming or cutting branches to reduce a tree's size or remove hazards. Tree removal is taking the entire tree down, including stump grinding if required.

How do I know if my tree is dangerous and needs removing?

Look for a lean with shifting roots, dead or dying branches over your property, visible decay or hollow sections in the trunk, cracks in major limbs, or damage after a storm. If you notice any of these, our AQF Level 3 to 5 certified arborists can assess it and give honest advice on whether removal is necessary. Level 5 assessments are available for council applications.

What happens to the wood and debris after tree removal?

Complete debris removal is part of our service. All branches, logs and green waste are chipped on site with our Bandit Wood Chipper 150 XPC and removed from your property. Your site is left looking like we were never there, with no mess left behind.

Will tree removal damage my lawn or driveway?

We take great care to protect your property. Our tracked Spider Lift is designed for tight access and minimal ground impact, and our Toro TX 1000 Mini Loader handles debris efficiently on any terrain. We navigate around gardens, driveways and pathways, and every job includes a Job Safety Analysis before works commence that assesses how to minimise any impact.

Can you access my backyard if there is no side gate?

Yes. Our tracked Spider Lift is designed specifically for tight access where traditional equipment cannot reach, and we have completed thousands of Gold Coast removals in narrow driveways, side passages and properties with limited entry. Let us know about the access when you request a quote and we will assess the best approach.

Do you provide mulch after chipping the trees?

All wood and debris is chipped and removed as part of our cleanup service. If you would like quality mulch for your Gold Coast garden, we supply Tea Tree Mulch, Soft Fall Pine Bark Mulch and Forest Budget Mulch with delivery available. See our mulch and mulching page for options.
