At Chip Off The Old Block all work performed whether it is tree lopping, tree cutting or stump grinding we take the time and care to make sure any and all buildings, homes, fences and people are left exactly the same way as we found them. Tree removal can be a confusing and sometimes daunting thing for you, your family and also the neighbours surrounding your home or business.
Complete removal of a tree involves the process of stump grinding. Trees often have very intricate structural root systems that can cause major damage to underground services and building infrastructure. Chip Off The Old Block has a large variety sized stump grinders to cater for any job from a carry-on stump grinding machines to a large truck- mounted machines strong enough to take on very large old hard tree stumps.
The most common species of palm namely the cocos or syagrus romanzoffiana, can look very untidy and unsightly without proper maintenance. To clean a palm we must climb to the top and cut off the old dead palm fronds, seed pods and berry clusters.

AMAZING, AMAZING, AMAZING. I couldn't be happier. Eric came the same day I called to provide a quote which was very well priced, and I locked him in right away. His crew turned up about 30min early on the day (calling first to make sure that was okay), and they did an EXCEPTIONAL job... they were great, and my son and I watched them work their magic. Nothing was too much trouble, and they cleaned up after they were done.
I recommend them 100%

The guys at Chip off the Old Block were great! Very quick to provide a quote and get the job done. Eric even managed to fit in an earlier visit after one of the trees fell down a week early! Highly recommended!

I used this company to remove a tree and stump that had fairly difficult access.
They did a great job and I got them back to do some pruning on the other side of the property.
There was some confusion over exactly what was to be pruned but when I phoned Eric to discuss the issues on the job he was quick to react and come to a agreeable conclusion.
After service care is very important and I am happy with the final outcome.
I will recommend this company in the future.

Critical: Responsiveness
A sub-contract team was sent. Left much debris behind and caused damage to our driveway, clothesline, irrigation system and shed walls and roof. Despite assurances by them they would address the damage, and multiple attempts by us to contact them, the owner has not responded back for 5 weeks.

GREAT CUSTOMER CARE 👍🏼
Thank you to Eric and the team who looked after us in our tree lopping experience!
I'm big on service and value for money and Eric in the process of consultation was on the ball.
He answered all my questions had all the knowledge in the world when it came down to trees etc.
Made the process easy and gave me an on the spot quote estimate and a day that the job could be done.
Easy, easy , easy all the way!
Lock them in for any tree lopping jobs you need doing.
The boys left the place so tidy and didnt stop through out the day.
Would highly recommend this service

Brilliant, guys were polite and extremely efficient. Did a great job with ease, didn’t damage anything on site and when finished, they cleaned up everything and took all tree waste away with their chipping machine. The price was very reasonable and I will be using them in the future when my trees need trimming. 10/10 would highly recommend using this company!

We had Eric and the team here for three full days and they have transformed our property! Great advice given by them and not out to make a quick buck. Will be recommending these guys to anyone that needs any job big or small.
