When choosing a company to look after your trees, it’s important to consider a few key questions. Sure, there’s the obvious like are they insured, and are they qualified. But beyond that you want to know you can rely on the team to do a professional job, while having your best interests at heart. What equipment do they have to complete the job quickly and easily? What precautions are taken to protect your house and garden? Jamie from Tree Essence is a Level 5 Certified Arborist. The highest certification in Arboriculture. This guarantees a level of professionalism, knowledge, and skill, unmatched in tree care on the Gold Coast. 

There are several reasons for wanting a tree removed. Maybe the tree is dying, and so should be removed to prevent it falling over and potentially causing damage to your property or injuring someone. Or maybe to allow for some building work or views. If you think you might have a tree that needs removing, it’s best to get a qualified arborist out as soon as possible, so you have the best number of options open to you. A dying tree can get more dangerous the older it gets, and some trees could benefit from a management plan over removal, but if in doubt, just ask!

There are many benefits to having your trees pruned. Skilled arborists are able to remove hazardous deadwood from trees during pruning. Crossed branches that rub on each other can be removed, braced, or manipulated to no longer rub saving broken branches down the line. Uneven canopies can be corrected giving a better appearance, and tree growth can be controlled, or even improved with regular pruning. Book us in for an inspection today to see how your trees could benefit from pruning.

The short answer is… Sometimes! That’s why it’s important to get a certified arborist to manage the trees on your property. Different suburbs have different lists of protected trees, and knowing your Moreton Bay from your Benjamina might be the difference between a well managed removal with council permission, and a hefty fine through the post. Having said that, most common trees found in gardens on the coast can be managed without permits.

Yes! When done properly at least. Trees are big, heavy, complex structures that require special handling, especially when in close proximity to other structures like your house, shed, driveway, or other trees. Tree Essence has an assortment of tools and methods for safely deconstructing trees, even if they are closely overhanging delicate infrastructure. 

We do our best to ensure the cleanest tidy up we can possibly achieve on every job. We gently rig large and heavy timber down from trees to reduce ground impact, lay boards so that grass doesn’t get damaged, and bring in machinery when practical to move heavy logs, or to reduce the amount of branches dragged over surfaces. Having said that, you might find small patches of sawdust around the place, or some minor divots, but nothing that won’t clear it’s self up within a few days.
