When trees become a problem, you need a qualified arborist who knows how to assess the situation and get the job done safely. Waratah Professional Tree Care has been providing expert arborist services across Newcastle since 1998,that’s over 27 years of experience caring for trees and protecting properties throughout the region.

What Does an Arborist Do?

An arborist is a tree care specialist trained in the science of planting, maintaining, and removing trees safely. Unlike general landscapers or handymen, qualified arborists understand tree biology, structural integrity, disease diagnosis, and the complex rigging techniques needed to work safely at height.

Our arborists can help you with:

  • Tree health assessments: identifying disease, pest damage, or structural weakness before it becomes dangerous
  • Pruning and shaping: improving tree health and appearance while reducing risk
  • Safe tree removal: taking down hazardous trees without damage to your property
  • Stump grinding: complete removal of stumps and surface roots
  • Storm damage response: emergency callouts for fallen or damaged trees
  • Arborist reports: professional documentation for council applications, insurance claims, or property sales

When to Call an Arborist in Newcastle

Not every tree issue requires removal. Our arborists will always assess whether pruning, cabling, or other treatments could solve the problem first. However, you should call us if you notice:

  • Dead, dying, or hollow trees on your property
  • Branches hanging over your roof, driveway, or neighbour’s fence
  • Trees leaning at an unusual angle or showing signs of root damage
  • Limbs growing into powerlines or too close to structures
  • Fungal growth at the base of the trunk (often a sign of internal decay)
  • Cracks or splits in major branches or the trunk
  • Storm damage that’s left the tree unstable
  • Roots lifting pavers, damaging pipes, or undermining foundations

f you’re unsure whether a tree is safe, it’s always worth getting a professional opinion. A quick assessment now can prevent costly damage—or worse—later.

Arborist FAQS In Newcastle

Find answers to common questions about our tree care services, safety procedures, and what to expect when working with our qualified arborists.

An arborist is a qualified tree care professional with formal training in tree biology, health assessment, and safe work practices. Tree loppers typically focus on cutting trees down or back without the same level of training or understanding of tree health. Arborists can diagnose disease, recommend treatments, and use proper pruning techniques that won’t damage the tree long-term. If you want the job done properly and safely, always choose a qualified arborist.

It depends on the tree and your property. Newcastle City Council has a Tree Management Policy that protects certain trees based on size, species, and location. Generally, you’ll need approval to remove trees over a certain height or trunk diameter, trees in heritage conservation areas, or trees covered by specific development conditions. Our arborists can advise whether your tree is likely to require approval and provide arborist reports to support your application if needed.

Arborist costs vary depending on the job. A simple pruning job might start from a few hundred dollars, while removing a large tree in a difficult location could cost several thousand. Factors include the tree’s size, species, condition, access, proximity to buildings or powerlines, and how much debris needs to be removed. We provide free quotes so you know exactly what to expect before any work begins.

Often, yes. Not every problem tree needs to come down. Depending on the issue, we may be able to prune away damaged sections, treat pest infestations, install cabling to support weak branches, or improve the tree’s health through better soil conditions. Our arborists will assess whether the tree can be saved safely and practically, or whether removal is the better option for your property and safety.

Warning signs include visible cracks or splits in the trunk or major branches, a noticeable lean (especially if it’s new), dead branches in the canopy, fungal growth at the base, exposed or damaged roots, and hollow sections in the trunk. Trees that have been damaged by storms or are growing into powerlines should also be assessed. If you’re unsure, it’s worth getting a professional arborist inspection—catching problems early is always safer and cheaper than dealing with a fallen tree.
