Services
Tree Pruning
Our tree pruning services include crown lifting, thinning, and reduction to maintain tree health and structure. We remove dead or crossing limbs to enhance appearance and safety. Clients benefit from reduced wind resistance and storm damage risks while preserving natural tree shapes.
Tree Felling
We professionally fell trees of all sizes, from small shrubs to large specimens in challenging locations. Our methods ensure minimal disruption to clients and surrounding areas. Safety is prioritised through risk assessments and precise cutting techniques tailored to each tree's condition.
Cobra Bracing
Cobra bracing involves installing synthetic or steel cables to support weak branches. Our synthetic systems allow natural tree movement and growth while providing stability. This service extends tree lifespan and prevents structural failures in mature or damaged specimens.
Stump Removal
We remove stumps using various-sized grinding machines, reaching depths of 150mm without extra digging. Our equipment handles difficult terrain, and we offer options to leave grindings as mulch or remove them completely for site clearance.
Emergency Call Out
We address urgent storm-damaged trees with rapid response services. While not available 24/7, our team prioritises safety by stabilising hazardous situations during office hours. Clients receive prompt assistance for fallen or unstable trees posing immediate risks.

Professional service from start to finish. We've just had some work done and can't recommend Oliver's highly enough. The lads were friendly, polite and very competent - not to mention tidy! Excellent job done and will continue to use Oliver's.

Olivers have carried out quite extensive work at our property twice over the last few weeks and we would highly recommend them. They are so friendly, helpful and extremely professional. They also took the time to make sure we were 100% happy with the completed work before they left and cleaned up thoroughly afterwards. Great bunch of guys - thank you!

Had three large tree stumps ground out using a big stump grinder. David and his grinder operator were very helpful and did a cracking job for a very reasonable price. They were both extremely helpful. I would recommend them to anyone who wanted tree stumps grinding.
