Your local arborist in Forster

Forster sits between Wallis Lake and the ocean, and its trees live with salt wind, sandy soils and the odd wild east coast low. From beachfront units on Head Street to family homes around Forster Keys and Sundowner, we are the local crew Forster calls when a tree needs to come down or be made safe.

Ability Tree Service removes dangerous and unwanted trees in Forster, prunes for health and clearance, grinds stumps, clears land and responds to storm damage around the clock. Our crew climbs, rigs and lowers trees in sections, and brings in the crane when a tree is too big or too unsafe to climb.

Many Forster blocks are compact with houses, pools and neighbours close on all sides. Sectional dismantling and crane lifts let us take out big pines and palms without risking roofs or fences.

FAQs

Tree removal Forster questions

How much does tree removal cost in Forster?

Every tree is different. Size, species, how close it is to your house or lines, access and whether you want the stump ground all affect the price. We give free onsite quotes in Forster so you get an accurate, fixed price.

Do you offer emergency tree service in Forster?

Yes. Our emergency crew covers Forster and the rest of the Mid North Coast 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Call 0403 316 576.

Do I need council approval to remove a tree in Forster?

Forster is within MidCoast Council. Many trees need approval before removal, and some properties have extra environmental controls. We can talk you through it at the quote and will not remove a tree that needs approval until it is granted.

Can you grind the stump after removing a tree in Forster?

Yes. We usually grind stumps on the same visit, so your Forster property is left ready for lawn, garden or paving.

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.
