Who we are
Practical consulting arborists. Considered counsel.
We started this small family business in 2017 with a simple intention: to provide honest, ethical and practical arboricultural advice for managing trees. We've got our hands on the tree before we put pen to paper.
Our work serves local and state government, civil contractors and private clients across South East Queensland, from a single tree in a backyard through to large sub-divisions. Whatever the scale, the standard is the same: defensible reasoning, plainly stated.

What we do
Reports and advice you can build on
Three core services delivering practical, clear advice grounded in current best practice, supported by a comprehensive range of reports tailored to your project's needs.
Arboricultural Impact Assessment
The report councils ask for as part of the development process, detailing impacts to trees within and adjacent to a project boundary. From a backyard shed near a protected tree through to large developments and sub-divisions.
Learn moreTree Risk Assessments
We assess trees for risk and offer practical mitigation measures. Typically for high-use areas like schools and public spaces, but just as readily for a single tree in someone's backyard.

How we work
Tree-side first. Then the report.
The practice is grounded in fieldwork, observation and measurement before it is anything else. Here's how an engagement typically runs.
STEP 01
Brief & site context
We talk through your project, the trees involved and the council requirements, then confirm scope and a fixed quote.
STEP 02
Field assessment
On site, we assess the tree or trees and collect detailed attribute data to support accurate reporting.
STEP 03
Analysis & reporting
We compile a clear, defensible report: observations, what they mean, and recommended actions, in that order.
STEP 04
Supervision & support
Where required, we supervise works within protection zones and liaise with your design team and the council.
