Arborist in Mapleton

Mapleton sits at the northern end of the Blackall Range. It's cool, green and wet, surrounded by Mapleton National Park and the falls, with views east to the coast. Properties are mostly acreage and lifestyle blocks along the ridge. Many back onto rainforest, eucalypt forest or deep gullies, and the trees can be enormous.

Trees on the range

Mapleton's high rainfall and rich soil grow big trees: tall eucalypts, rainforest species and old windbreaks planted when this was farming country. Strong winds across the ridge test them during summer storms. Common jobs include:

• Removing dead or storm-damaged trees near homes, sheds and water tanks
• Pruning heavy limbs over roofs and driveways
• Clearing fallen trees across access tracks and driveways
• Thinning old windbreaks that now shade the house
• Grinding stumps from past clearing

Steep edges and gullies

Ridge-top blocks often fall away sharply into gullies on one or both sides. When a tree sits near the edge, we rig and lower every section with care. A dropped log could run a long way downhill. Wet ground for much of the year means we take care with machinery, and sometimes wait for drier days so we don't damage your land.

Near the national park

Plenty of Mapleton properties border the national park or other protected bushland, and some vegetation may be subject to overlays. Before significant work, check with Sunshine Coast Council. Where council wants a professional opinion first, our arborist reports cover it.

Getting there

The roads up and around the range are winding, and many driveways are long, steep and unsealed. Let us know about gradient, gates and turning room when you call so we bring the right equipment.
