Before 
After The job
What we walked into, and what we did.
The problem
A 22m blue gum had developed a lean toward the house after a wet season softened the ground, with major limbs directly over the roof and the back deck. Two other quotes were vague all-in numbers with no mention of the council step.
Our approach
We assessed the access and risk on site, confirmed with council that the tree was exempt from a permit, then removed it by sectional dismantle: a climber lowered each limb on ropes rather than felling, so nothing dropped on the house. The job was itemised before we started.
The result
The gum was down and the site raked clean in a single day, with zero damage to the home, deck or fence. The customer paid the exact figure on the quote.
Materials
- Rigging and lowering ropes for over-structure work
- Spider lift for safe canopy access
- Stump ground below grade, grindings backfilled
