What is Arboriculture

Also referred to as ‘tree work’ or ‘tree surgery’, the purpose of arboriculture is to provide professional and quality care and maintenance for your trees. This can range from providing advice about the best actions to retain or remove your trees including maintenance of hedges and fruit trees; to providing advice about trees you could plant on your property including native restoration; to getting into a tree to check for important native fauna species; to assisting nurseries in the collection of valuable seed and/or propagation material from endangered or rare tree species. We’ve also been known to save the odd drone as well!
