Services
Tree Removal
Professional tree removal services for damaged, diseased, or obstructive trees. We handle council approvals, ensuring compliance with local regulations. Our team uses advanced equipment to safely and efficiently remove trees while minimising damage to surrounding property. All work adheres to Australian Standard AS4373, prioritising safety and environmental responsibility.
Tree Pruning
Precision pruning to enhance tree health, safety, and aesthetics. Our AQF Level 3 qualified climbers follow Queensland Arboriculture Association guidelines. We focus on structural integrity and disease prevention while maintaining natural growth patterns. Regular pruning reduces storm damage risks and prolongs tree lifespan, ensuring compliance with council specifications.
Stump Grinding
Efficient stump grinding to eliminate hazards and clear space for landscaping. We use tracked and wheeled grinders for accessibility, removing stumps to 150-300mm below ground. This prevents termite infestations and garden obstructions. Our process leaves minimal disruption, with wood chips repurposed onsite for soil enrichment.
Arborist Reports
Detailed arborist reports for development applications and council approvals. Our AQF Level 5 arborists evaluate tree health, structural risks, and legal compliance. Reports include mitigation strategies and preservation plans, supporting property development while safeguarding urban forests. Ideal for DA submissions and legal disputes.
Mulch Supply
Sustainable mulch supply from repurposed tree waste. Our forest mulch improves soil health, retains moisture, and suppresses weeds. Available in bulk (20 cubic metres), its ideal for Gold Coast gardens and landscaping projects. We ensure high-quality, contaminant-free mulch to enhance garden aesthetics and sustainability.

Report
Frontier topped 6 large gumtrees down in the neighboring property, along our common boundary. The arborists dropped the trees onto the fence, damaging both the fence and the snake proofing mesh. They also left all the greenwaste which is now a fire hazard and endangering my family home and our neighbours.
Frontier was contacted, and emailed twice requesting this to be attended to, without response.

I highly recommend Frontier Tree Services. When quoting, Simon provided great advice on the best approach to trim some very large trees in my yard. The team who completed the work were extremely professional, polite, and friendly, obviously knew what they were doing and worked very well as a team. They were very careful to not damage any property, and made sure they left the yard very tidy. I will definitely use their services again. Highly recommend!
