What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Homeowners needing large trees made safe and hedges brought back into shape describe Troy and his crew as punctual, professional and efficient throughout. More than one review highlights that jobs are finished quickly, with one household reporting more than twenty-five trees felled, several of them over ten metres, and another large dangerous backyard tree removed in a matter of hours.

Expertise and advice come up often, particularly Troy's knowledge of tree varieties and his willingness to explain options while inspecting the work. Customers note that quotes are honoured as agreed and that the pricing struck them as fair, with more than one commenting that a better quote would be hard to find. Tidiness is a consistent theme: debris is cleared, gardens and surrounding trees are protected from damage, and sites are left neat.

Communication before and during the work is praised, with crews checking in to confirm the result matches what was wanted. Troy, Paddy and the wider team are named for their friendly, polite manner, and their willingness to act quickly when a broken metal sign was leaning into a road has been noted as a sign of community spirit. Trimming, shaping and the removal of hazardous trees remain the work most often described.

Not a tree trimming review, but demonstrates their community spirit : A big thank you to the team from A-Local Tree Service who stopped today to remove a large broken metal sign that was dangerously leaning into the road. Your quick action helped make the area safe and likely prevented a serious accident. It’s great to see people willing to step in and help the community without hesitation. Very much appreciated! PS I’ll get you to trim trees at my place, next time I need it.

Troy and Paddy are real professionals. They got the job done in record time and did a good clean up afterwards. Will have them back for more work down the track.

After the recent cyclone, we experienced a close call when several large branches broke off from a towering Iron Bark tree. Fortunately, these massive limbs narrowly missed our house, although our clothesline wasn't so lucky. Realising how close we'd come to significant damage, I knew it was essential to act swiftly to prevent any future incidents. Despite it being an incredibly busy time due to widespread storm damage in the area, A-Local responded promptly and arrived the very same day to provide a quote. Within a week, their expert team returned to safely remove the enormous Iron Bark tree. While they were on site, I also had them remove nearly a dozen tall palm trees that have outlived their welcome. The A-Local team carried out their work meticulously and with impressive professionalism. What truly stood out was their thorough cleanup afterward, they left our yard looking spotless, with barely a trace they'd ever been there, aside from neatly cut tree stumps. Given the urgency of the situation and the exceptional care they took, I couldn't have asked for better service.

We engaged Troy and his team to remove a large tree which had become dangerous from our backyard. They were punctual, professional, efficient and very pleasant . The job was completed in a few hours with virtually no damage to existing trees or property, and all debris was removed leaving the area tidy. Troy was very knowledgeable when inspecting the tree and we don't think you'd get a better quote. We highly recommend these guys and would have no hesitation using them again when needed. Big thumbs up to the whole team from us.
