Who we are

A small family business that takes trees seriously

We started Trees are Cool in 2017 with one intention: honest, ethical and practical arboricultural advice for managing trees. The warm name and the serious work have sat side by side ever since.

Our story

Honest, ethical, practical

We started this small family business in 2017 with the intention of providing honest, ethical and practical arboricultural advice and solutions for managing trees. That hasn't changed.

Ben has over 28 years of experience in arboriculture, with a trade qualification and a Level 5 Diploma. From that foundation we've grown a team that serves local and state government, civil contractors and private clients alike.

We're grounded in fieldwork first, with hands on the tree, measurements taken and observations recorded before anything is written down. It's what lets us produce reports that are defensible and advice that's genuinely useful.

What guides us

Core principles

Plainly stated

We say what we mean. Reports avoid jargon where ordinary words will do the job.

Quietly expert

The credentials show in the work, not the logo. Restraint over decoration.

Tree-side first

Fieldwork, observation and measurement, grounded before it is anything else.

Built to stand up

Documents written to be defensible to a council, a court, or a neighbour.
