Bundled in, or booked alone
Most operators split this across three or four different contractors. No Trace runs all of it in-house, so the person who quotes it understands the whole job.
Root chasing & removal
Roots don't always stay where they started — pushing up paths, blocking drains, or lifting the edge of a slab. We trace the root back and remove just what's causing the problem, without taking out a tree that's otherwise healthy.
Common where an established tree sits close to plumbing, paving or a driveway.
- Root system traced & removed
- Drains and pipes cleared
- Paths and slabs protected
- Paths and slabs protected
Arborist climbing
Some trees can't be reached by machinery — too tall, too tight an access, or too close to something that can't be risked. That's where climbing comes in: a qualified climber works the canopy by hand, section by section.
It's not really a standalone booking — climbing is the capability that makes our hardest removals and prunes possible in the first place.
- Qualified, rope-access climbers
- Tight or restricted access
- No crane needed
- Built into removal & pruning jobs
Palm removal
Palms aren't cut like a standard tree — the trunk doesn't chip the same way, and the crown needs handling differently to avoid a mess of fronds everywhere. We remove them safely, trunk and all, with the surrounding yard and property protected throughout the job.
Stump grinding is available afterwards if you want the base gone too.
- Safe crown & trunk removal
- Any palm species
- Stump grinding available
- Full clean-up included
Green waste removal & mulch supply
Every job leaves material behind — branches, leaves, chipped timber. It's cleared as standard, but if you'd rather keep it, we can mulch it and leave it on site for your garden beds instead.
Available as an add-on to any job, or booked on its own for an existing pile of green waste.
- Full removal, or mulch left on site
- Any volume
- Add-on to any job
- Booked standalone too
Pre-sale property tidy-ups
An overgrown tree or a messy yard can be the difference in a listing photo. We tidy up trees, hedges and yards before a property goes to market — timed around your settlement or auction date.
Usually booked directly by agents and property managers, with priority scheduling and invoicing to the agency.
- Timed to your listing date
- Trees, hedges & yard clean-up
- Agency invoicing available
- Priority scheduling for agents
Real estate agent or property manager?
Priority scheduling, invoicing to the agency, and pre-settlement turnaround — a direct line, not a booking form.
