LEEZ TREES - Arborist Tree Pruning & Removal Service
Lee corrects bad pruning jobs others leave behind — and brings a chipper, not just a chainsaw.
The husband-and-wife structure of the business (Lee in the canopy, Jacqui on the ground) means the same people who quote the job are the ones doing it, with no subcontracting mentioned across any reviewed job. Pricing transparency stands out: one customer noted Lee honoured a quote from over a month earlier, and several reviewers mention choosing Leez Trees after receiving multiple quotes — suggesting competitive pricing that holds up to comparison. For anyone booking, it's worth asking Lee directly about wait times, as the combination of a small team and strong word-of-mouth demand may affect scheduling windows.

About LEEZ TREES - Arborist Tree Pruning & Removal Service
Lee and Jacqui run this arborist operation as a tight husband-and-wife team, with Lee handling the climbing, diagnosis, and technical pruning decisions while Jacqui assists on the ground — multiple reviewers name both of them and note how well the pair work together. Lee's background as a qualified arborist sets him apart from general tree cutters: he identifies underlying problems like possum grazing, excessive deadwood, and structural imbalance before touching a saw, and then walks the homeowner through their options rather than defaulting to removal. The business handles everything from emergency storm damage and large-scale removals (Jacarandas, date palms, Peppercorn trees, gum trees, pencil pines) through to delicate remedial pruning aimed at rehabilitating trees homeowners want to keep. One reviewer highlights that Lee even managed council liaison to access a backyard through council land — a level of project coordination most tree services won't touch. Cleanup is a consistent operational standard rather than an afterthought: numerous reviews specifically mention the site being left cleaner than it was before work started, with green waste mulched, larger branches cut into firewood, and no debris left on neighbouring properties. They're particularly well-suited to homeowners who've had poor experiences with cheaper operators, given Lee's track record of correcting previous bad pruning work and explaining sustainable tree management.
Best for: rehabilitating valuable trees after storm damage or poor past pruning, large complex removals where council access or permits are involved, and homeowners who want a qualified arborist's diagnosis rather than an immediate cut-and-go quote.

What types of trees does Leez Trees specialise in removing or pruning?+
Reviews mention a wide range of species handled by Lee and Jacqui, including Jacarandas, date palms, Peppercorn trees, spotted gums, red gums, Chinese Elms, pencil pines, umbrella trees, Strelitzia nicolai, Lilly Pillys, and large hedges. Lee is a qualified arborist, so he assesses each species individually rather than applying a one-size approach — one reviewer notes he identified possum grazing and excessive deadwood in a gum tree that other operators had missed. If you have an unusual or protected species, it's worth calling Lee directly to discuss options before assuming removal is the only path.
How does Leez Trees handle the cleanup after the job?+
Cleanup is a standout feature based on the reviews — roughly two-thirds of customers specifically comment on it. Green waste is typically shredded on-site using a chipper, with larger branches often cut into firewood lengths and left for the homeowner. Several reviewers mention the yard being left cleaner than when Lee and Jacqui arrived, including debris cleared from neighbouring properties where branches had fallen. There's no indication from any review that waste removal is an add-on cost, but worth confirming when you get your quote.
What do customers say about pricing and how does Leez Trees compare to other quotes?+
Pricing comes up in roughly half the reviews, and the consistent description is 'reasonable,' 'fair,' or 'very well priced.' Several homeowners mention obtaining multiple quotes and choosing Leez Trees on price, and one reviewer noted Lee honoured a quote made more than a month earlier without adjustment. There are no reviews mentioning surprise charges or hidden fees — one reviewer specifically calls the pricing 'fair and transparent, without any hidden fees or surprises.' For large or complex jobs, it's still worth getting a written quote upfront.
Does Lee only do removals, or will he help save a tree worth keeping?+
Lee is specifically noted by multiple customers as being willing to recommend against removal when a tree can be rehabilitated. One reviewer describes him saving a Chinese Elm through careful remedial pruning after a major branch fall, and another hired him to diagnose and treat a gum tree affected by possum grazing rather than remove it. He presents options and explains the reasoning behind each, which reviewers contrast positively with operators who default to removal. If your goal is to keep a tree healthy long-term, that's a core part of what Lee does as a qualified arborist.
Does Leez Trees cover areas beyond Craigmore, and can they handle jobs requiring council access?+
Reviews don't specify a formal service radius, but the business is based in Craigmore and customer locations across the northern Adelaide suburbs appear in the review set. At least one reviewer confirms Lee handled the full council liaison process to obtain access through council land for a backyard tree removal — a logistically complex job most services decline. If your property has access challenges or requires permits, it's worth raising that in your initial conversation, as Lee appears to have navigated that process before.
