Professional advice, on site
Not sure whether a tree should be pruned, treated or removed? Our friendly, down-to-earth arborists can meet you on site to talk through any tree-related issue and give you honest, unbiased advice.
For a small fee, we’ll recommend how best to manage and carry out tree work on your property. That helps you make informed decisions and avoid the cost of poor tree management.
AVM has two AQF Level 5 qualified consultants. We’re members of the Queensland Arboricultural Association and accredited VALID tree risk assessors.

What we can advise on
Tree health
Whether a tree is healthy, declining or diseased, and what to do.
Safety and risk
Whether a tree is likely to fail, and how urgent it is.
Pruning or removal
The best option for the tree and your property.
Council rules
Whether a tree is protected and what approval is needed.
Building and landscaping
How to plan around trees you want to keep.
Neighbour trees
Practical options for overhanging branches and roots.
Evaluating tree health and risk
Site consultations let our arborists assess trees in person and recommend pruning, removal or preservation based on your property and plans. They help identify risks like diseased or hazardous trees and make sure work complies with local regulations.
If you need something formal, we can follow up with an arborist report or tree risk assessment.
- Honest advice, no hard sell
- Plan work in the right order
- Formal reports if you need them
