Got a tree in the way?

If it's on our list and it's sound, we'll take it away for nothing — instead of the $4,000–6,000 a removal would cost you.

What we need

One photo
and a suburb.

That's genuinely it to start. Stand back a few metres, get the whole tree in frame, and we'll tell you within a day or two whether we're interested. No obligation, and we'll be straight with you if the answer is no.

Your tree

Six fields. We'll ask the rest when we come and look.

One clear shot of the whole tree from a few metres back does the job. Add up to ten — they are shrunk before sending, so it works on a phone with one bar of signal.
A single-storey roofline is about 3m.
Tell us the demolition or settlement date if there is one.
Optional — we'll usually just ring you.
Optional. Access is usually what decides whether a tree is viable.

No obligation, and a straight answer either way. If it's not something we can sell on, we'll tell you rather than string you along.

Before you send

Not for us.

No resale market for any of it, so there's nothing in it for either of us. Save yourself the form — you want an arborist.

And whatever the species —
Anything that has fallen over

Once a tree is down the root plate is torn and the trunk is usually damaged. There is nothing left to rescue.

Anything you have already dug up

A rootball that comes out unprepared dries within hours and the tree rarely recovers. Call us before a shovel goes near it — that one phone call is the difference between a sale and firewood.

How it goes

From photo to gone.

Send us a photo

One clear picture of the whole tree from a few metres back, plus your suburb. That is genuinely all we need to start. Builders, demolition crews and homeowners all come to us the same way.

We tell you yes or no, fast

If it is on our list and it is sound, we are interested. If it is not, we will say so rather than waste your time.

We come and look

We check access, root run, services and whether it will survive the lift. No charge, no obligation.

We take it away free

You keep the $4,000–6,000 a removal would have cost you. We wear the machinery, transport and risk.

It gets a second life

Into the yard at Osborne, or straight to a buyer. Either way it goes back in the ground instead of through a chipper.
