It was a cracker of a day to celebrate all things trees for National Tree Day 2019, which once again saw Bohmer don his ‘Tree Whisperer’ costume to engage kids and their families to teach them about all things trees. First stop was Woonona Public School to celebrate National Schools Tree Day, then onto meet the community at the South Coast’s popular Coledale Markets for some tree art and craft plus the chance to take home your very own seeds and potting mix to plant in the garden.

We received a call from the SES to say that a branch from a Liquid Amber Tree had fallen into someone’s granny flat during the wild winds earlier this year. Luckily no one was hurt, however we removed a branch that had fallen over the top of a stained glass roof and, thanks to more meticulous work by the team, no glass was broken.

So Autumn is certainly here to say hello – the water’s still at a decent temp (great to get in the last of those surf or pool swims) and the weather is up to its usual wild ways.We’re super passionate about safety in our largely unregulated industry – which includes protecting you, our awesome customers and community, from potential harm caused by trees to your home during wild weather. We work directly with the SES, councils and insurance companies (we’re the ones they can call in the middle of the night to tackle a fallen tree or branch caused by wild weather – lucky we love our job hey?!) so we see firsthand the damage that can be caused to homes and properties at this time of year.

So here we are after another mammoth year of caring for trees across the South Coast of NSW and beyond. Thank you to all our amazing customers, clients and community who choose our trusted and proudly local family business to take care of their trees – we look forward to another year of achieving amazing things with you.

He’s a local legend! Here’s one of the many reasons we adore what he does in relation to all things Indigenous Culture and why he’s our ‘go to’ man for any questions we have about native species of trees or ‘the bush’ that needs an expert opinion and advice.

It’s been a wild few months of weather on the South Coast of NSW recently, with some stunning Summer’s-in-the-air sunny days by the beach followed by cold and damp feroucious wind attacks. And we might be a small, family business but the nature of our work means we’re up in the middle of the night responding to calls from the SES to take on trees that have fallen onto homes, cars or streets and clearing debris to make things safe for everyone to ‘get back to normal’ in the morning.

What to do with a tree that has to be removed from a school garden to keep students safe? Turn it into an outdoor classroom of course!

Q: I’ve purchased a property and had an Arborist Report (Tree Report) for my DA. It’s been 12 months since we applied to Council and now need the project to start again; so I need to go back to the consulting arborist for an update and he is charging me to assess again.

We’ve just moved from Sydney and bought a block of land to build our ‘dream home’ on, but there are a few trees in its way. What direction should we take from here if we need to remove them?
