What we do for councils and agencies

  • Street, park and reserve trees: pruning, removals and stump grinding, scheduled or as single jobs.
  • Storm support: extra crews to make trees safe and reopen roads and paths when your own crews are stretched.
  • Tree assessments and audits by our consulting arborists, written in plain language your staff and councillors can act on.
  • Tree protection on capital works: tree protection zones to AS 4970 for road, drainage and building projects, and the removals your approvals allow.
  • School grounds and public facilities, which we already maintain through facilities managers.

Already working on public sites

Our crews look after school grounds for the facilities managers Downer (formerly Spotless), Cushman & Wakefield and Evolve, and work for Fulton Hogan on Sydney Water projects. They hold rail (RISI and ARTC) and Sydney Airport (SACL) inductions; see rail corridor and airport tree services.

    Send the site, the trees and what you need done, or a schedule of works. We'll ask questions before we price, not after.

  2. Site check and paperwork

  3. Quote or purchase order

    A fixed quote per job or per schedule, ready for your purchase order.

  4. The work

    Carried out with traffic control where the site needs it, and the area left clean.

Questions

Councils & government: common questions.

Can you supply extra crews after a storm?

Yes. We answer after hours on 02 9154 5133 and can make trees safe and clear roads, paths and public land alongside your own crews. Tell us who to report to and how jobs will be allocated.

Can your arborists assess council or agency trees?

Yes. Our AQF Level 5 consulting arborists inspect individual trees or whole sites, with a hazard rating, useful life estimate and colour-coded recommendations for each tree.

Do you work near power lines?

Our arborists hold Electrical Close Approach licences and EWP licences for over 11 m. Work inside the network operator's exclusion zone is done by their authorised contractors.

How can a council buy from you?

We're listed on buy.nsw, the NSW Government's marketplace, and we quote directly for work under your purchasing thresholds.
