I can highly recommend John and his team from Monkey Business Tree Service. They helped us cut some trees and get our property ready for construction. We will definitely use their services again.

As a result of the storm in Nambour on Tuesday 11th May about half of a very large Jacaranda tree split off and landed in the back yard. The owner of Monkey Business, John Blythe, came to check it out and gave a quote to remove the fallen tree. When he arrived to do the job, which to me looked like a big one, he and his team straight away got stuck… into getting it done. John was using the chainsaw, a co-worker dragged the sawn off branches to the third person who was manning the chipper. The team work was outstanding and the work was finished in just over half an hour. Once John had finished

Cannot recommend them high enough. Johnny and Ryan were friendly, hardworking, and very professional. Will definitely be hiring them for our next job.

Gave us a fair quote and did a very professional job of removing a huge Silky Oak that, sadly was too close to our home. Kept us well informed of progress during the operation. If needed again, he will be our first choice.
