Services
Tree Pruning
Tree FX performs precision pruning following AS4373-2007 standards to enhance tree health and safety. Our qualified arborists assess each tree's unique needs, removing deadwood, hazardous branches, and growth impeding structures. This service maintains clearance for infrastructure while preserving natural form and promoting longevity through non-invasive climbing techniques.
Safe Tree Removal
We execute high-risk tree removals with comprehensive safety protocols, including Job Safety Analyses and stakeholder consultations. Utilising advanced rigging systems and protective measures, our team minimises property impact while ensuring complete site restoration post-removal. Emergency planning addresses potential garden disturbances discussed during initial quotations.
Arboricultural Consultancy
Through sister company Evergreen Tree Consulting, we provide expert tree assessments and development reports. Services include hazard audits, condition analyses, and strategic management plans prepared by diploma-qualified arborists. Our consultancy supports property developers, schools, and private clients with evidence-based tree management solutions.
Pest and Disease Control
Our specialists diagnose and treat tree health threats including borers, elm leaf beetles, and fungal infections. With 20+ years' diagnostic experience, we implement preventative management strategies to protect tree populations. Internal decay assessments and tailored treatment plans preserve urban tree canopies against biological threats.
Tree Hazard Assessments
Certified arborists conduct comprehensive risk evaluations identifying structural weaknesses and failure probabilities. We develop mitigation strategies like cabling systems or pruning regimes to reduce hazards while maintaining tree retention. Regular monitoring programs ensure ongoing safety for schools and residential properties.

Polite, Professional, went that extra mile with a couple of litte tasks I was unable to attend to. Look no further if you are seeking someone who really cares, offers constructive comments along the way and leaves you offering a hearty thank you.

The tree pruning was done quickly and efficiently. They arrived on time and cut the branches required leaving the tree balanced and the area neat. I will probably call them again as I have several large trees which need a bit of pruning.

Really good job done of clearing overgrown driveway plantings. Very knowledgeable and at the initial consultation and quote we were offered a lot of information and suggestions of what we could do and how to maintain it going forward. Would not hesitate to call TreeFX again.

I cannot recommend Treefx highly enough. We recently had a days work done at our place and now it is unrecognisable. The team were fantastic and they cleaned up as they went.

Tree FX team helped us with a number of jobs in our back garden, which included the creation of a habitat tree from a dead and unstable Eucalyptus (images attached don't do justice to a fantastic job). They were: on time, courteous, professional, thorough and respectful of our property and the others on the development. For me it was important that they clearly explained what they were going to do, how and why and they left the place in an immaculate condition. I would very strongly recommend calling Tree FX for a quote, instead of trying to take care of overgrown trees in the garden yourself
