Committed and passionate arborists
- We do the best work on the best trees in South Gippsland and beyond
- Incredibly efficient therefore cost effective
- Very experienced - Average climbing career is 10 years but Peter is in his 3rd decade!
- Safe pairs of hands - No insurance claims for damage or injury in the past 15 years which is unique in an industry where chainsaws are used at height. We've had cover from the same insurance company and can provide proof upon request.
- Local business (we are 3rd generation South Gippslanders)
Safety
Working at height with chainsaws, plus dealing with unpredictable weights, forces and anchor points requires a thorough knowledge of health and safety. Unsafe felling techniques can destroy assets and potentially kill people. Arborzone adheres to the highest industry standards using best practice health and safety principles. Safe outcomes are ensured via well-maintained equipment, on-going training in performance/practical skills and up-to-date skills in highly specialised areas of tree care and removal.
Community
Arborzone is committed to planting, maintaining and admiring the tree population in South Gippsland, the Bass Coast and beyond.
