What we deliver

Contract tree services across South East Queensland.

Programmed maintenance, reactive works and emergency response, delivered by our own crew and our own plant rather than subcontracted out.

Compliance first

The documentation pack, before mobilisation.

Most contract work is won or lost on whether the paperwork stands up. Ours is current, job specific and supplied without being chased.

If your prequalification system needs something that is not on this list, tell us what it is and we will supply it. We would rather spend an hour on documentation upfront than have a crew stood down at the gate.

Own crew, own plant

No subcontractors, no surprises on site.

Everything we quote is delivered by our own people using our own machines. That means we can commit to a mobilisation date and hit it, the crew on site is the crew named in the SWMS, and there is a single point of accountability when something needs to change.

  • Two elevated work platforms, tracked and truck mounted
  • Commercial chipper, mini loader, stump grinders, excavator and bobcat
  • Crew inducted, ticketed and covered under one WHS system
  • Works scheduled out of hours where sites cannot close during the day
  • Itemised reporting against purchase order or work order numbers

Procurement questions

What tender and asset teams usually ask.

If your prequalification checklist has something we have not covered here, send it through and we will answer it directly.

Are you prequalified for government and council work?
We hold the accreditations that prequalification systems ask for: CM3 WHS accreditation (the certification required for all storm and insurance works), $20 million public liability, current Queensland WorkCover, QBCC licensing and Queensland Arboricultural Association membership #1277. Certificates of currency and our safety documentation pack are available on request, and we are happy to be added to a panel or supplier register.
Can you provide Safe Work Method Statements before works commence?
Yes, as standard. Every job we run produces a documented Job Safety Analysis and a job specific Safe Work Method Statement, not a generic template. For contract work these are supplied to the principal contractor or council officer ahead of mobilisation, along with plant certification, operator tickets and SDS where relevant.
Do you handle traffic management?
Yes. Road corridor, verge and roundabout works are carried out with an approved traffic guidance scheme and accredited traffic control, arranged as part of the job. We also carry out works outside peak hours or overnight where a road or car park cannot be closed during the day.
What is your response time for a storm or disaster callout?
Our crew is on call 24 hours. During a declared event we work to the priority list set by the responsible authority, and we can mobilise multiple machines including the EWPs, the chipper, the mini loader and the excavator. We have worked every major Gold Coast storm season for over two decades.
Can you produce tree inventories and condition audits?
Yes. Our AQF Level 5 arborists produce tree registers, condition and risk assessments, retention and removal schedules, and tree protection zone assessments referenced to AS4970. Reports are supplied in a format your asset team or planning officer can use directly.
Do you invoice on account?
Yes. Government, council, body corporate and commercial clients are invoiced on agreed terms with itemised reporting against purchase order or work order numbers.
Can you work on school, childcare and aged care sites?
Yes. The crew holds current blue cards and white cards, and we are experienced in working around occupied sites with exclusion zones, supervised access and works scheduled around operating hours.

Other things we can sort while we are on site.

Most Gold Coast jobs turn into two or three jobs once the crew and the gear are already in your driveway. Doing it in one visit is always cheaper.
