Local tree removal for Hobart homes.

What we do

I run a small Hobart arborist crew. Most weeks we're climbing a blue gum on a Mount Stuart slope, dropping an oak in Battery Point or making safe after a Derwent westerly has put a limb through a carport in Sandy Bay.

We know the ground here. Tight terraced streets in Battery Point and Glebe, near vertical driveways into Lenah Valley and West Hobart, heritage elms lining North Hobart that need careful pruning, and the kind of wind exposure you only get when kunanyi/Mount Wellington funnels a westerly straight down across the city. Species outside the eucalypt family come up plenty too. Old macrocarpa hedges around Sandy Bay and Mount Nelson properties get heavy with wind-thrown limbs after a wet winter. The brittle wood snaps clean rather than tearing, which changes how we rig the cut. Blackwood on the Glenorchy and Kingborough fringe blocks grows tall and straight with a narrow root plate, so a leaning blackwood over a driveway is often quicker to drop than a wide-crowned gum. A straightforward backyard removal on a flat Kingborough block runs around $600 to $1,200. A leaning blue gum on a steep Mount Nelson slope, with EWP access needed, can run $3,000 to $5,000 once the rigging is factored in.
