About Arborist Launceston

Who We Are

Arborist Launceston looks after trees across Launceston and its suburbs. We prune, remove, support, plant and assess trees, grind stumps, clear land and respond when trees come down in storms.

We started from a simple view: people asking about a tree deserve a straight answer about what it needs, not a sales pitch for the biggest job. Sometimes the right answer is a light prune. Sometimes it is to leave the tree alone and check it again next year.

How We Measure Our Work

We do not publish credentials, years in business or job counts on this website unless they can be verified. If those details matter to your decision, ask us directly and we will give you a straight answer.

What we can say is how we work. Pruning follows the practices set out in Australian Standard AS 4373, Pruning of amenity trees. Trees retained near building works are protected using the approach described in AS 4970. Every job has a written scope before work starts.

From Enquiry to Clean-Up

You tell us what is worrying you about the tree. We look at the tree, the ground, the targets underneath and the access. We explain the options, including the ones we would not recommend and why.

The quote lists the work, the method, the clean-up and the exclusions. On the day, we set up exclusion zones, complete the work in a controlled order and walk the site with you before we leave.

Quality Controls on Every Job

We climb trees that are staying without spikes, lower heavy pieces on ropes rather than dropping them near structures, and cut at natural points so trees can seal their wounds.

We will not lop or top healthy trees, remove trees that need approval before approval is in place, or work on trees touching network power lines before the operator has made them safe.

Where We Work

We work across Launceston, including East Launceston, Trevallyn, West Launceston, South Launceston, Newstead, Invermay, Summerhill, Prospect, Mowbray and Norwood. Each suburb page explains the conditions we usually meet there.
