Townsville and North Queensland
Four generationsup the tree
Our family has been cutting down trees since the 1800s. Anthony has been doing it here in Townsville for 30+ years as a Level 5 arborist. If it is big, awkward, or leaning over your roof, it is our kind of job.
Cyclone season callouts, day or night
Emergency: 0401 810 310What we do
Everything from the crown to the stump
Five services, one crew, and one person responsible for the result. We work for homeowners, body corporates, real estate agents and councils right across the Townsville region.
Tree Removal
Confined space and technical removals in tight Townsville blocks, roped down section by section with no damage to what is underneath.
View serviceTree Planting
The right species in the right spot, planted so it survives the dry and stands up to the wet.
View serviceTree Pruning
Crown work done to Australian Standard AS 4373, with every cut made for a reason and nothing topped.
View serviceStump Grinding
Ground out below the surface so you can turf, pave or replant straight over the top.
View serviceChipping and Mulching
Your green waste goes through the chipper and comes back as mulch for your garden beds.
View serviceNot sure what you need?
Send a photo. Anthony will tell you straight whether the tree can be saved or whether it has to come out.
Ask us
Palms, gums and everything above them
If it needs a rope, it needs us
Coconuts de-nutted for body corporates, palms cleaned up, and 20 metre gums taken down over a pool fence. Height is the part most people cannot do safely, and it is the part we have been doing for four generations.
Since the 1800s
Read the rings
A trunk keeps a record of every year it stood up. So does this family. Anthony is the fourth generation to make a living taking trees down safely.
- First
Cutting since the 1800s
The family was felling timber in the 1800s with axes and crosscut saws. No hydraulics, no chippers, and no second chances.
- Second
Anthony's grandfather
The same trade, the same country, and the first chainsaws. The knowledge of how a tree wants to fall was already being handed down.
- Third
Anthony's father
Anthony grew up on the tools, watching his father read a lean and set a rope long before he was old enough to hold a saw.
- Fourth

How it runs
Three steps, no surprises
You call or send photos
Tell us what you are looking at. A couple of photos from your phone are often enough for us to know what gear the job needs.
Anthony inspects the tree
He looks at the lean, the load, the target underneath and what is above it. You get a fixed written price, not a range.
We do the work and clean up
Crew, traffic control if it is needed, and a site left tidy. Chip stays with you as mulch or leaves on the truck.

Getting your trees ready before the season turns
The window for useful storm pruning closes the moment a system shows up on the radar. Here is what actually reduces risk, and what just makes it worse.

Safety and accident prevention are not the same thing
One is a folder in the ute. The other is what you actually do at the base of the tree. Only one of them stops people getting hurt.

Pruning: why every cut has to earn its place
Every cut is a wound and every leaf lost is photosynthesis gone. Good pruning removes the minimum live tissue for the maximum result.
