What we do
We take tree jobs from anywhere in Australia and pass each one to a local arborist. That arborist runs their own business, agrees the price and the work with you directly, and does the job if you go ahead.
The rest of the site is for the questions that come before any work starts. Does the council protect this tree? Who deals with a branch on the power line? What should a quote cover? Each answer lists its sources, and the rule pages say when the rules were last checked.
What we don't do
- Tree work. We don't remove, prune, grind or clear anything ourselves.
- Quotes or prices. There are no prices for tree work on this site, because only someone who has seen the tree can say what it involves.
- Employ arborists. The arborists who take jobs through us work for themselves.
- Claim a licence. No arborist licence exists in Australia, so you won't see us say anyone holds one.
- Give legal advice. Our permit pages explain the official rules, but your council has the final say on your tree.
Who's behind it
Nearby Arborist is operated under ABN 11 698 764 206, which you can look up on the government's ABN Lookup.
You won't find made-up reviews, invented jobs or stock-photo staff here, and any number on a page comes with its source listed at the foot.
Where to start
How it works walks through the form and what happens after you send it, and the editorial policy explains where our facts come from. If a tree is worrying you right now, storm damage and tree permits are good places to begin.
