It starts with something small.
Just a few yellow leaves here. A branch that doesn’t seem to have any new growth there. Maybe your tree just doesn’t look as healthy as it used to.

Cleaning gutters isn’t anyone’s idea of a fun weekend. You clear them out, think you’ve finally won the battle against gutter debris, then a few weeks later they’re overflowing again after the first decent downpour.

If this sounds familiar, your gutters probably aren’t the problem. Your trees, however, might be.

You walk outside after a bit of rain and suddenly there they are. Mushrooms popping up like magic around the base of your tree. For some homeowners, they’re a welcome sign that nature is doing its thing. For others, they’re an instant cause for concern.

Planting a tree is one of the best things you can do for your property. It adds shade, attracts wildlife, improves street appeal, and can even increase your home’s value. But choosing the wrong tree? That’s a mistake that can follow you for decades.

There’s something pretty special about hearing native birds in your backyard first thing in the morning and knowing they’re there because you specifically cultivated a space for them. Whether it’s lorikeets arguing in the trees, kookaburras laughing from the fence line or little honeyeaters darting through the garden, birds make a yard feel alive and full.

If you’ve ever planted something in your yard only to watch it slowly give up during a Brisbane summer, you’re certainly not alone. Between the heat, humidity, sudden storms and periods of dry weather, our climate can be a bit brutal on some plants. This is why native trees are often your best bet to ensure they not only survive but thrive.

It is easy to overlook the value of planting a tree. It can feel like a small act that will take years to make a difference, often with you never sitting in its shade. But in a city like ours, where heat, development, and changing weather patterns all play a role in our environment, planting trees is one of the simplest ways to improve both your property and the wider landscape.

If you’ve ever stepped outside in a Brisbane summer, you’ll know, gardening here isn’t for the weak. The heat, the humidity, the sudden downpours. It can be a lot. The good news, though? If you work with our climate conditions, they make it one of the best places to grow your own edible garden.

You might notice your trees starting to look a bit off as the seasons change. Leaves discolour, patches appear on branches, or growth seems to slow down; these are both normal reactions to Autumn and possible early symptoms of disease. Autumn creates the perfect conditions for certain tree diseases to take hold, especially with lingering moisture and mild temperatures.

Most people only think about their trees when something goes wrong. A branch drops, a storm hits, or a tree suddenly starts looking unhealthy. By then, the damage is often already done. As we move into Autumn, it becomes the ideal time to get ahead of any tree problems and prepare your trees properly for winter.

Tree maintenance might sound silly or self explanatory to you, but there are actually many moving parts to keep a tree happy, healthy and not at risk of falling onto your roof and crushing your house. Maintenance is important, not only for longevity and general tree health but also to about drama during storm season and prevent potential issues before they end up costing you heaps.

Cyclone season runs from November to April and is notorious for doing damage to homes, cars and other property. Keeping your space protected from potential damage needs to be at the tippy top of your to do list.

Removing trees takes some serious thought. Maybe they obstruct your view, or maybe they pose a threat to your home. Whatever the reason, removing an entire tree is a large undertaking and the question that’s probably crossed your mind is, “Do I need council approval to remove this?”

You’ve got land ready for that shed, extension, or new build, but suddenly clearing trees and vegetation feels like navigating a maze. In South-East Queensland, block clearing before property development isn’t just about chopping trees down; it’s about doing it legally and safely.

The New Year is a time for a fresh start, a clean slate, and finally tackling those annoying, lingering jobs you put off all last year. If that ugly, grey, tripping-hazard of a tree stump is still taking over a corner of your backyard, your new year’s resolution to remove it is an easy one to complete!

Welcome to the New Year, where the mangoes are ripe, the humidity is high, and the summer storms are notoriously unpredictable. If you’ve just been through a wild weather event, the kind that leaves your wheelie bins upside down and leaves scattered around the neighbourhood, your focus is likely on clearing the debris from your driveway and checking the fence line.

It’s the most magical time of the year, but also the time we tend to get a little over-excited with the tinsel, the oversized decorations, and the millions of pretty lights draped across our garden and trees. Before you hoist that giant inflatable Santa or that massive star into the branches of your favourite Poinciana or Fig tree, take a moment to consider the stress you might be unknowingly inflicting on your leafy friend.

It’s a Christmas tradition, the backyard barbecue, the slip-n-slide, and the influx of visiting relatives. Unlike the Northern hemisphere, where Santa lands on a snowy roof, here the sleigh usually pulls up next to a sparkling swimming pool, and the reindeer are probably seeking desperately needed shade under a big, leafy canopy.

November in Brisbane marks a critical transition. We are firmly in late spring, heading straight into the high-growth and high-risk period of summer and storm season. The subtropical heat is ramping up, and with it comes a burst of plant growth, but also the rapid spread of pests and diseases that thrive in warm, humid conditions.

The lush, vibrant environment of Brisbane is one of the best things about living here. As qualified arborists, we spend our days caring for the city’s wonderful trees, and plant life.

When people think about planting trees, the first thing that usually comes to mind is shade, beauty, and maybe a few native birds.

When we think of property value, we usually picture things like updated kitchens, curb appeal, and maybe even solar panels. But what about the trees on your property?

Ways To Keep the Water in Your Soil This Summer Summer gets hot. Like hot, hot! Which is great for morale and maybe catching a tan but do always remember sunscreen! But because it gets so hot during summer, plants may die if they don’t get enough water to thrive. This will, of course, affect […]
