Our Tree Services in Southport

 

At Bees Knees Trees, we have an experienced team of arborists and tree loppers available. They provide planned and urgent tree care for homes, businesses, schools, strata properties and body corporate sites across Southport and the wider Gold Coast area.

Tree Removal

Our team can remove dead, damaged and unwanted trees using specialist equipment suited to both their size and location. We can also dismantle large trees in controlled sections to protect nearby buildings, fences and gardens.

Tree Lopping and Pruning

Our tree lopping service in Southport covers deadwood removal, canopy reduction, and clearance pruning. We make careful cuts to improve the tree's structure and can manage branches growing towards roofs, roads, or powerlines.

Stump Grinding

We are very accomplished at grinding unwanted stumps below ground level. This helps to reduce trip hazards and prepare the area for turf or landscaping. Here is more detailed information about our stump grinding service.

Palm and Hedge Trimming

Dead palm fronds, seed pods, and overgrown hedges can make a property look untidy or become unsafe. Our palm and hedge trimming service includes routine maintenance and complete palm removal.

 Emergency and Storm Damage

We offer after-hours and storm-season call-outs for customers with fallen trees, split limbs and branches that are blocking access. In emergencies like these, stay away from unstable trees and any vegetation that might be touching powerlines.

Tree Removal Rules in Southport

 

In Queensland, owning land does not automatically allow you to remove every tree on it. Instead, you may need approval from your local City of Gold Coast Council before you can prune or clear protected vegetation on your property. 

You may need to submit an application if the City Plan, a development approval, an environmental covenant, or another legal restriction affects your vegetation. We can advise if this is necessary.

​

Before doing any work, we recommend checking the City’s current tree and vegetation removal requirements. Some pest species or low-risk work may qualify for an exemption. However, the exact position will depend on the tree and your property.

Our qualified arborist can identify the tree and explain whether you need further approval or a formal report.

Trees We Deal With in Southport

 

Southport combines a busy CBD with quaint older residential streets and a growing number of apartments. All of these areas are home to a wide range of trees which we have the expertise to manage.
 

Some of the trees behind unit blocks near Queen Street, Scarborough Street and Ferry Road can only be reached through narrow access and shared driveways. Others have limited room for machinery.

​

There are also a number of established figs and poincianas that may also need careful pruning. This is especially true where broad canopies extend toward roofs or neighbouring properties.

Why Choose Bees Knees Trees?

 

Bees Knees Trees is a family-owned Gold Coast business. We are fully insured and supported by a team of qualified tree workers.
 

We plan every job around the tree, access to your property, and potential risks to nearby people or structures. We always use suitable safety equipment when performing the tree work. Once complete, we will remove green waste and leave the work area tidy.
