What this site is, and what it is not

Stated plainly, because a trade site that hides this is a trade site you should not trust.

This is a referral website

Sunshine Coast Tree Care is a referral website. It is not itself a tree surgery business with a yard and a fleet.

Enquiries made through this site - by form or by phone on (07) 5408 6029 - are passed to qualified, insured arborists operating on the Sunshine Coast. One of them contacts you, inspects the property, quotes the work and performs it. Your contract for the work is with that business.

We say this on the home page footer, in the terms and conditions, and here, because the industry norm of implying otherwise is exactly why people distrust trade websites.

What that means for you

The business that quotes your job is responsible for the work, for its own licensing and insurance, and for any warranty it offers. Before work starts, ask that business directly for a certificate of currency for public liability insurance and for confirmation of workers compensation cover. Those are reasonable questions and a good operator will expect them.

General information only

The guides on this site are written to be accurate and useful, but they are general. They cannot account for the condition of your specific tree, the soil it is in, the structures around it, or the current position of your council.

In particular, nothing on the tree regulations page is legal advice. Council planning schemes, vegetation protection orders and exemptions change. Confirm the current position with Sunshine Coast Council or Noosa Shire Council before removing or substantially pruning any tree.

Prices are indicative

Every price range published here, including in the cost guide, is a range sourced from our own published guidance and included to help you budget. It is not a quote and it is not an offer. Only a written quote issued after a site inspection is a price.

Safety

Tree work is genuinely dangerous. Falls from height, chainsaw injuries and struck-by incidents account for serious harm in Australia every year, and many of those incidents involve people working on their own property.

Where this site describes work you could do yourself - hand stump removal, basic trimming - it is written so you can judge whether the job is within your ability. If it is not, hire someone. Never work on or near power lines: call Energex on 13 19 62.
