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.

We didn’t write the book on the Significant Trees of South Gippsland, but we really enjoyed helping author Mary Ellis in her efforts... "Thank you to Peter Bateman for his practical experience and enthusiasm".
