That’s how Independent Tree Services started too.
What started as Managing Director Trent Hughes with a truck, tools and a cherry-picker full of ambition has grown to a company that employs twenty-five on-ground staff and two office staff.
From our Narangba base we are pleased to have a team of professionals on site who hold a mixture of diplomas in Arboriculture, Certificate 3 and 4 in Arboriculture while also fostering the next generation of arborists who are completing their training.
It’s the powerful combination of an expert team on site as well as one off site, that ensures a competent, clear and concise service for all clients.
Oh, that and the fact we have a perfect record for adherence to the Workplace Health & Safety.
