About the business
Tree work for the problem in front of you.
From one overhanging branch to a large removal, the work starts with what the tree is doing and what needs to change.
John's Tree Services is a family-owned North Shore business working for homeowners, strata managers and businesses across the North Shore and Ryde.
Some customers need a dangerous tree removed. Others need branches cut back from a roof or driveway, a stump cleared from the garden, or vegetation cleared for the next job. We look at the tree, the room to work and how you want the area left afterwards.

Explore serviceWhen to call us
Help for the tree problem you can see.
You do not need to know the exact service before you call. Start with what is happening on the property and what you need the area to do.
Branches over roofs or access
Pruning can create useful clearance from roofs, driveways, paths, fences and neighbouring property.
Trees that have become too large
We can discuss selective reduction, pruning or removal based on the tree, its position and the result you need.
Stumps blocking the next job
Stump grinding can clear space for turf, planting, paving or easier access through the yard.
Storm-damaged trees
Call at any time about fallen trees, hanging branches or damage affecting a building, vehicle or driveway.
Overgrown blocks and work sites
Land clearing can combine vegetation, tree and stump work for larger properties, commercial sites and site preparation.

Customer feedback
What our customers say.
Read what customers have said about the work, the team and how their property was left.
★★★★★
“Had a huge gum leaning over the back of the house that we'd been worried about for ages. John came out, talked us through the options, and his crew had it down in a morning. Fair price and they swept the deck on the way out which was a nice touch.”
★★★★★
“Storm took out half our liquidambar Thursday night. Called first thing Friday, they had someone here before lunch. Blocked the driveway off, cleared the debris, left it tidy. Sent the quote through before they started which I appreciated.”
★★★★★
“Third year in a row we've had them back for the jacarandas out the front. They know what they're doing, they turn up when they say they will, and the trees have never looked better. Can't ask for more than that.”
Questions
Useful answers before you enquire.
A few details and clear photos can make the first conversation much more useful.
That depends on the tree’s condition, position and the result you need. Pruning may solve a clearance or deadwood problem; removal may be the better option when the whole tree is unsuitable or unsafe.
Yes. The work plan considers nearby roofs, fences, pools, driveways, gardens and neighbouring property, along with the access available for people and equipment.
Branches can be chipped and timber can be cut into manageable sections. Tell us what you would like kept on site and what you want removed.
Keep clear. Call 000 if someone is in immediate danger and call Ausgrid on 13 13 88 for an electricity-network hazard.
