What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Tree health assessment and preservation stand out as a recurring theme in feedback on this Newcastle arborist, with Johnny regularly named for taking time to explain species characteristics and offer guidance on keeping trees strong rather than pushing for removal. Several customers describe being told a tree needed no work at all, an honesty they valued alongside the detailed consultation. Punctuality and reliability come through strongly, from the initial quote through to the crew arriving when promised.

The work covered spans removing tall palms and large gums, pruning, stump grinding, and clearing overgrown vegetation, with one account noting a truck and chipper that fitted a driveway and a difficult gum beside buildings that other quotes could not grind. Tidiness features often, with branches cleared and yards left neat, and leftover logs set in place to assist with holding soil and shaping garden beds. Pricing is described as fair and competitive, with the stump grinding included at a lower cost than alternatives. Courtesy, clear communication before and after the job, and crews who know their roles are also praised, along with advice on which trees to keep and which may cause trouble down the track.

Johnny came out to assess the health of 3 large gum trees in our suburban backyard. He explained thoroughly the characteristics of the species and advised me on how to keep them strong and us safe. He had an obvious love of trees and an extensive knowledge of the local flora. The business was professional, friendly and on time for the consultation. If one of our damaged trees does not recover, I will have no hesitation to use the services of this business to remove it. Robyn

Highly recommend using these guys. I had a large gum tree in a difficult area and right next to buildings. They were the only company of my 3 quotes who were able to grind the stump. Even with this extra work, they were cheaper than the other quotes. Truck and chipper that fit on my driveway, no fuss. Made the job look easy and were so quick, left the area tidy.

The Cutting Edge Tree Maintenance team removed a huge amount of bamboo that had taken over our backyard, along with the stumps. Communication was very prompt, and the team was incredibly efficient on the day. They also took good care of the pool and pool fence whilst working, and left the backyard looking great. Would definitely recommend - really good value.

Johnny snd his team are professional, great with communication and very flexible. They went above and beyond in providing honest, valuable advice and went out of their way to meet our needs. The job was done well, the site left extremely clean and tidy and represented great value for money. Would definitely not go anywhere else for an arborist in the future.

Johnny and his crew removed 12 very tall palm trees and 2 quite large trees at our place as we were wanting to clean our yard up. Johnny attended to site when he said he would, provided a competitive quote and returned to get the job done. We couldn't be happier with the service they provide. All his workers know exactly what their role is, they hook in and get it done. Very professional service. We Highly Recommend!

I first met Johnny for a quote, he was very honest, upfront and that what I liked. Very positive! When the boys came round to do the tress they we’re an awesome group and always smiling. Cleaned up after themselves and double checked if I was happy with what they had done. The guys are all awesome, thanks again for the great work. I would highly recommend the guys
