Why Tree Top
Why clients
keep calling back
Some of our contracts have run for more than fourteen years. That does not happen on price alone.
Qualified for the hard corridors
Our technicians hold current qualifications for work near live power lines, updated yearly, and our crews work to the safeworking requirements of rail and road corridors. That is not something every tree company can offer.
The plant to finish in one go
A 30 metre Magni rotational telehandler, four EWP towers, five excavators, five chippers, stump grinders and our own traffic management vehicles. The gear arrives together, so the job finishes together.
Scaled for programs, sized for backyards
Twenty five field staff means we can resource a wind farm clearing program or a council cyclic contract, and still send the right two person crew to prune a street tree.
Someone answers the phone
Storms do not keep office hours. Call at any hour and a live person will answer and help you in any way they can.
