Honest answers about your trees, from the most qualified eyes in the region.
Sometimes you don’t need a chainsaw. You need someone who can look at your tree and tell you the truth: is it safe, is it sick, can it stay, what would you do if it were yours?
Our consulting arborists hold AQF Level 5 — the highest arboricultural qualification in Australia — and they’ve spent 25 years reading Sunshine Coast species. Whether it’s a second opinion before a big decision, a health plan for a beloved old gum, or a report that gets your council application over the line, you get advice you can stake your family’s safety on.

Questions, answered honestly
What is an AQF Level 5 arborist?
It’s Australia’s highest arboricultural qualification — a consulting-level diploma covering tree biomechanics, pathology, risk assessment and law. Level 5 arborists write the reports councils, insurers and courts rely on.
How much does an arborist report cost?
Depending on scope, most residential reports range from $300–$700. Development and multi-tree reports are quoted on scope. It’s a fraction of the cost of a refused application or an uninsured loss.
Can you tell if my tree is dangerous without removing it?
Yes — that’s precisely what risk assessment is for. Many ‘scary’ trees are structurally sound, and some calm-looking ones aren’t. Assessment replaces guessing with evidence.
Do you only recommend removal?
No — our first loyalty is to the truth. Retention, pruning, monitoring or removal: we recommend what the tree and your safety actually require, and we’ll show you why.
That tree has waited long enough.
