About Us
Above All Tree Services was founded in 2004 by Wayne Back and started out with small tree removals and pruning jobs with only minimal equipment. Even then we were determined to be the best in the business, performing our service at the highest level with appropriately trained staff, safety procedures and insurance coverage equal to or in excess of the recommended industry standard. As a result of this professionalism and the quality of work performed, the business has grown from a staff of 2 to 7 full time employees and a further 11 casual and contract staff with all of the equipment to carry out the most difficult jobs. We have seen our clientele grow from private residential clients to include Bayside Council, Spotless Facility Services, eight Strata Management companies, a number of construction companies, multiple landscaping businesses and a number of schools (private and public). With an emphasis on high quality, professional and safe service as well as a fair pricing schedule, our aim is to provide you with the best service available at a price you can afford.
