Tree Removal

We appreciate the value and beauty of the majestic trees in the Tallebudgera, Currumbin and Gold Coast region, and explore all options when tree problems arise. However, sometimes a tree is beyond help, and there are valid reasons for tree removal including:

• Tree is dropping branches in outdoor living areas
• Tree is "crowding out" or damaging other trees
• Tree has grown too large for the space
• Tree positioned too close to buildings or power lines
• Tree is declining due to age or is dead
• Tree area is being cleared for development
• Tree is infested with pests or disease
• Tree is leaning in a dangerous direction
• Tree is a bushfire hazard threatening buildings
• Tree root system threatens foundations, driveways or pipes
• Tree has fatal storm or lightning damage

The potential damage of falling trees should never been underestimated. Uncontrolled branch or tree falls are an obvious threat to safety, and can also be extremely destructive to buildings, other trees and landscaping.

If you have a large tree that is dead or showing signs of ill-health, there's a strong possibility the root system has been adversely effected, compromising the tree's ability to withstand strong winds and storms.

All trees with terminal health problems should be removed immediately. The longer the job is put off, the more dangerous and expensive it is to perform, and the higher the risk of accident, injury or property damage.

Tree Removal Techniques

Removing an entire tree is a dangerous project, and not recommended for the home handyman. To maximise safety, and eliminate the possibility of damage, a good arborist will develop a tree removal plan, which will depend on the tree's type, size and location.

Trees located in open acreage areas may be dropped by tree felling, whereby the entire tree is felled from ground level. This method is acceptable when there's a clear area for the tree to land.

Tree dismantling is the most popular method of tree removal in high-density residential areas, and is used in confined spaces where there's risk of damage to nearby buildings, gardens, landscaping and other trees.

Experienced arborists physically climb the tree, dismantling the limbs and trunk methodically section by section. An intricate system of ropes and pulleys, lowers the sections to the ground in a controlled manner. Due to safety issues, trees need to be healthy, and free of damage, disease and pest infestation.

Elevated Work Platforms (EWP) may be required for tree trimming and removal when trees and unsafe to climb, or in close proximity to power lines and buildings.

Tree Removal Costs

The cost of Tree Removal in Tallebudgera Currumbin and surrounding Gold Coast suburbs varies, depending on a number of factors which influence the equipment, manpower and time required:

• Size of the tree - height, width and density
• Storm or lightning damage
• Ease of access to site
• Slope of the ground under the tree
• Condition and health of the tree
• The type of tree - softwood or hardwood
• Diameter of the trunk
• Services, gardens, fences or obstacles under canopy
• Equipment required - cranes, elevated Work Platforms etc
• Distance of the tree to transport & mulching machinery
• Proximity of the tree and branches to buildings and power lines
• Whether Tree can be felled or dismantled

The cost of removing a tree is influenced by the tree's size, height, density and diameter of the trunk, as the more timber there is to remove, the larger the job.

The tree's location also has a bearing on cost, as trees that are positioned close to buildings, power lines, overhanging pools, gardens, fences etc pose more risk that those trees that have a clear "fall zone" beneath the canopy.

Emergency Tree Removals

Mother nature's summer storms are renowned for wreaking havoc across Gold Coast areas, with strong winds and heavy rain causing the failure of weakened branches and oversaturated roots.

Following an intense storm, property owners often find fallen branches, limbs and trees scattered across grounds and obstructing driveways.

If you have fallen, hazardous or storm-damaged trees, our crews are on standby. Their 24-hour emergency service provides prompt assessment of the problem, with recommendations on the best course of action.
