Brett and the guys removed 3 tree’s. All the proper precautions were taken, the tree’s were felled in a controlled way, restraints were used to ensure branches stayed in my yard when they fell. I was expecting it go smoothly because a site assessment was undertaken prior to the work being done. Very happy with the result. Mark

Review of O’Briens Tree Services ACTI highly recommend O’Briens Tree Services as a highly professional and value- for-money tree removal company. They undertook the work for me in Canberra. They were extremely professional, efficient and prompt every step of the way- from first contact, inspection, quote, providing the target date and arriving on the nominated day. I had one extremely large tree approved to remove and several smaller ones. They were a hardworking team and worked safely and effectively to do all that work, as well as chipping, removal of debris and stump removal. I was amazed how much they could get done in a day and how well they did it. Not only that, but they were considerably less expensive than other quote(s). I highly recommend them to anyone needing trees removed.- Jane Morlin, resident of Canberra

O'Brien Tree Service did an incredible job cutting down a number of trees, handling stump grinding, and chipping the wood. They were quick, reliable, and provided excellent value for money. What really stood out was their attention to detail—they cleaned up everything afterward and even left the wood chips behind for me to use as mulch. No task was an issue for them, and their professionalism was top-notch. If you need tree services done right, I highly recommend O'Brien Tree Service!
