Tree Removal
Dead, dying, storm damaged or simply in the wrong spot. We take down trees of every size, section by section, and leave the site clean.

Stump Grinding
Stumps attract termites, fungi and toe-stubs. We grind them below ground so you can turf, plant or build straight over the top.

Tree Pruning
Deadwooding, thinning, weight reduction, shaping and clearance pruning that keeps trees healthy and keeps limbs off your roof.

From first call to clean yard
Free onsite quote
We look at the tree, the drop zone and the access, then give you a clear fixed price.
Plan the take down
Rigging points, lowering lines, crane position and exclusion zones are set before a saw starts.
Dismantle safely
The tree comes down in controlled sections. Nothing is dropped where it should not go.
Chip and clean up
Branches are mulched on site, timber is stacked or removed and the yard is left tidy.

What the locals say
I called Ability this morning to see if I could get a quote on the removal of two smallish trees and a palm tree. They came within half an hour, and were able to do the job straight away. 20 minutes later they were finished, and they removed all evidence of them having been there. Tidy, professional and prompt.
Matt, Tony and their team removed several large trees over and around our house using their crane. The ability, skill and workmanship was amazing. Friendly bunch of fellas too, would highly recommend their services.
We had a tree come down on our house in the recent storms. Ability was great! They were quick, on time, and very neat. We couldn't be happier!
Had half a dozen trees including two super large ones taken down today. The guys did an excellent job. Very professional, well equipped and a friendly team.
A massive thank you to Matt and the rest of the team. Very prompt, friendly and professional service. I highly recommend them to everyone.
Absolute professional service from start to finish. Thanks guys.
Trusted arborist on the Mid North Coast
Ability Tree Service has been the go-to arborist on the Mid North Coast since 1995. We are a family owned business working for residential, rural and commercial clients, and the team you meet at the quote is the team that turns up to do the job.
Coastal trees here deal with salt wind, sandy soil and east coast lows, while inland trees around the Manning and Gloucester grow big and heavy on rich river flats. That mix is why we invested in serious gear: climbing crews for sectional removal, a crane for the trees that cannot be climbed, stump grinders for any access and chippers that turn every branch into mulch on site.
Whether you need a single palm removed in Forster, a row of pines dropped on a farm near Krambach or a storm damaged gum lifted off a roof in Taree at midnight, call Ability Tree Service on 0403 316 576. Quotes are free and onsite.

We are based at Darawank and cover 23 towns from Bulahdelah and Smiths Lake in the south, through Forster, Tuncurry and Hallidays Point, to Taree, Wingham, Harrington and Crowdy Head in the north, and inland to Gloucester.
Are your quotes really free?
Yes. We come out, look at the tree and the site, and give you a clear price at no cost and with no obligation.
Do you clean up after the job?
Always. Branches are chipped on site, timber is stacked or removed, and the yard is raked and blown down before we leave.
Can you remove trees near power lines?
We work near domestic service lines regularly. Trees touching or close to high voltage lines must be handled with Essential Energy, and we can help you organise that.

Yes, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Call 0403 316 576.
