Tasmanian Tree Care
Creates wildlife habitat hollows in stumps — and customers keep calling them back year after year.
Named team members appear across many independent reviews (Corbin, Colin, Mackenzie, Hunter, James, Gabriel, Zac), so you're not relying on one person showing up — there's a crew with documented track records. They've handled genuinely difficult jobs: a 50-metre dead gum, a multi-storey tree between five homes in Sandy Bay requiring crane hire, and tree removal at a school where safety stakes are high — so if your job is complicated or in a tight spot, they're not out of their depth. For straightforward residential pruning or removal, reviews consistently mention reasonable pricing, prompt quoting, and a post-job follow-up call — small details that suggest a business that actually manages client relationships.

About Tasmanian Tree Care
Tasmanian Tree Care operates across the greater Hobart area with a crew-based model led by named arborists — Mackenzie, Colin, Corbin, Hunter, Gabriel, Zac, and James — each mentioned repeatedly across reviews, which is unusual for a sole trader and signals a stable, well-organised team rather than a one-man operation. The work spans a wide range of complexity: from routine pruning of ornamental species like Agonis flexuosa, Melaleuca, and silver birch through to the removal of 50-metre dead eucalypts requiring cranes, pulley systems, and coordination with neighbours in tightly packed suburbs like Sandy Bay and Bonnet Hill. Corbin is repeatedly praised for on-site communication and liaising with neighbours during complex removals; Colin handles client communications and follow-up calls after job completion; James draws specific praise for his rope work at height; and Mackenzie leads quoting and customer-facing consultations. A standout differentiator is their ecological sensitivity — they create habitat hollows in retained stumps for native wildlife, and multiple customers note they actively balance tree health rather than default to removal. Schools, accommodation providers, and multi-property owners appear in the reviews alongside standard residential customers, suggesting they're comfortable with both high-stakes safety work and aesthetically sensitive garden maintenance. Cleanup is mentioned in the majority of reviews as a distinguishing factor — teams chip waste on-site, remove debris, restore disturbed fencing, and leave sites cleaner than they found them.
Best for: complex or high-risk tree removals in tight suburban sections, ongoing maintenance of large native eucalypts and established garden trees, homeowners who want a crew that communicates clearly and cleans up thoroughly, and properties where ecological sensitivity matters alongside safety.

What kinds of trees does Tasmanian Tree Care specialise in?+
Reviews mention work on a wide variety of species including large eucalypts (Tasmanian blue gum), cypress pine, silver birch, elm, wattle, Agonis flexuosa, Melaleuca, Pyrus, and leyland and box hedges. They've also worked on very tall dead trees and fast-growing native gums close to houses. Their team appears comfortable with both ornamental garden trees and large native species that require careful management for safety.
How does Tasmanian Tree Care handle difficult removals near buildings or power lines?+
Several reviews describe exactly this scenario — a tree removed between five homes in Sandy Bay using pulleys and tag ropes, work at a shack over buildings and a power line, and a major removal requiring a crane they organised themselves. Corbin is specifically mentioned for liaising with neighbours and planning access routes on complex jobs. If your tree is in a tight spot, reviews suggest they assess the access problem before quoting and communicate a clear plan upfront.
What do customers say about pricing?+
Pricing is described as 'reasonable', 'affordable', 'at a very fair price', and 'very reasonable' across multiple reviews. One customer noted they approached ten arborists and chose Tasmanian Tree Care partly on price. No reviews mention unexpected costs or disputes over quotes. The consistency of pricing comments across a broad range of job sizes — from single-tree pruning to large multi-property removals — suggests their quoting is transparent.
Do they clean up after the job?+
Cleanup is one of the most consistently praised aspects across the reviews we analysed — mentioned in roughly two-thirds of the 50 reviews. Teams chip green waste on-site, remove debris, restore any fencing temporarily moved for access, and cut logs to firewood length on request. Multiple reviewers noted the site was left cleaner than before the team arrived. If you're worried about garden or lawn damage during the work, several reviews specifically mention care taken around surrounding plants.
Do they offer any ecological or wildlife-focused services alongside standard tree work?+
Yes — at least one review describes them creating habitat hollows in a retained stump specifically to attract native birds, and multiple reviewers note the team balances tree health rather than recommending removal by default. This ecological awareness is mentioned in the context of large native eucalypts where a more conservative approach protects both the tree and local wildlife. If retaining a tree is viable, their arborists appear willing to discuss that option rather than defaulting to removal.
