Gums, figs and everything above them
If it needs a rope, it needs us
Big removals over houses and pools, palms cleaned up, and technical dismantles in tight access. Height and rigging are the parts most people cannot do safely, and they are the parts a qualified climber trains years for.
From New Zealand to Brisbane
Earned, ring by ring
A trunk keeps a record of every year it stood up. Leon's trade was built much the same way: over 15+ years in New Zealand, then formal qualifications, and now a team working the whole of Brisbane.

New Zealand
Leon started out and honed his craft in New Zealand, spending over 15 years on the tools in some of the most demanding tree country there is.
- 02
Over 15 years
Fifteen years of climbing, rigging and removals across a working career, long before the business had a name over the door.
- 03
AQF Level 5 and Level 3
Formal arboricultural qualifications. Level 5 is the consulting end of the trade, the one councils ask for. Level 3 is the qualified operational climber.

How it runs
Three steps, no surprises
You call or send photos
Tell us what you are looking at. A couple of photos from your phone are usually enough for us to know what the job needs.
A qualified arborist assesses it
We look at the tree, the target underneath, the access and what council rules apply. You get a fixed written price, not a range.
We do the work and clean up
A qualified team, the right rigging, traffic control if it is needed, and a site left cleaner than we found it.

Can you actually remove that tree? Brisbane and Ipswich rules
A lot of tree removals need council approval before any work starts, and getting it wrong is expensive. Here is how the rules work and where an arborist report comes in.

Safety and accident prevention are not the same thing
One is a folder in the ute. The other is what you actually do at the base of the tree. Only one of them stops people getting hurt.
