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?

…and how Bohmer and the local Council made the area a safer place to play. Check it out on our socials: facebook.com/BohmersTreeCare/videos/340733763329904/   

Cheers to Lindsay McDougall (and Jake) for the chat over a cuppa about all things Trees in the ABC studios recently as part of their ‘Odd Jobs’ segment. Safe to say, Bohmer was in heaven… Listen to it here (and the baby in the background – those ABC cuts are affecting everyone these days!):    

Q: I would like to extend my family home on some existing land we own which has lots of trees on it. What should I do in regards to getting rid of the trees?
