Message From Joshua
Hi, I’m Joshua. Thanks for being here.
I started this business with a chainsaw, a ute, and a determination to do better, not just for myself, but for the people I serve. I grew up in Menai, in housing commission, and life wasn’t easy. But I learned that when you show up, put in the work, and treat people with respect, you can build something real.
That’s what I’ve done with this arborist company. Every job we take on, whether it’s trimming a tree or clearing storm damage is handled with care, professionalism and pride. No shortcuts. No surprises. Just honest work you can rely on.
Because I know what it feels like to be let down. And I’ve built this business to be the kind that never does.
Frequently Asked Questions…
and Answers!
Where are you located?
We’re based in Illawong in Sydney’s south and we service the better part of the Sutherland Shire region and surrounds.
What are your accreditations?
In Australia, the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) Level 3 Certificate in Arboriculture is the standard minimum qualification for anyone doing hands-on tree work. This means the person has completed trade-level training in proper pruning techniques, tree biology, safety procedures, and more. Whether it’s a tree company handling pruning and removals or an arborist helping with planting projects, qualifications are what separate trained professionals from general labourers.
For more advanced work, such as carrying out tree risk assessments or preparing official arborist reports, many professionals go on to earn an AQF Level 5 Diploma in Arboriculture. This qualification shows a higher level of expertise in tree assessment, health, and consultancy. In fact, AQF Level 5 Consulting Arborists are often the ones qualified to prepare the detailed reports and risk evaluations that NSW councils require for development applications or hazard assessments.
What makes a good arborist?
A good arborist must be knowledgeable on the trees and shrubs in our environment. The natives as well as imported plants. They must also put safety first, be properly insured and possess the relevant professional accreditation for the work they’re asked to do.
How to choose an arborist?
The best way is to check out their reviews for recent work. It’s also good to shop around. Get a few quotes to see who is responsive, knowledgeable (ask some pertinent questions about your specific tree issues) and competitive.
