What customers say about Ben and his team

Tree removed in a day

Contacted Ben to arrange a quote, Ben came round talked me through the process, sent me links to apply through the council. Bens quote was very competitive so decided to go with him. Ben said his team would be there at 7am to commence the work, they all arrived at 7 on the dot!!! They removed the tree within a day, chopped the wood up for me and stored it under the house, cleared all the branches and leaves up and left the yard like know one had been there!! Unbelievable service and great value!! Just wish I had more trees to cut down for him, super professional from start to finish! Best on the Coast by a like stretch!!!

Tree on the house, sent by the insurer

Ben and his team provided an incredible service. They were appointed by our insurer to help when a tree had fallen on our home, and they couldn’t have been more prompt in attending our house and making it safe, and seamlessly managed everything from cranes to Ausgrid (above and beyond call of duty) to have the tree removed. Highly recommend!

Two trees close to the house

Ben quoted my job promptly and the cost came in slightly below another quote I’d been given. He was also able to fit my tree removal in the following week. The guys that came were just as friendly and polite as Ben. Both trees were extremely close to my house but they removed them expertly and carefully. They also cleaned up after the job was finished and without me even asking they also took away some of the loose branches I’d left in my driveway from other trees in my yard. Nice to deal with such lovely guys who showed appreciation for being given the work. I’d highly recommend Ben and his team and will definitely use them again if needed.

Advice on what to trim and what to keep

We were unsure how to achieve move sun into our property as we didn't want to cut many of the trees. Ben not only provided a reasonable quote but also gave us advise what we should trim, what we should cut and how to achieve the desired result.

He is very knowledgeable, the technical part as well as flora and cares about nature, which was very important to us.

When his crew arrived, they were joy to have a around. Very professional, careful and super hard working.

Sloping block, poor access

We had a difficult job, sloping block, poor access and dangerous trees. While some service providers found the job to hard to even attempt, Ben was around the next day to quote, nothing was a problem and less than a week later job was completed by his team efficiently and professionally. Could not be happier, great friendly crew that went above and beyond.

25 m angophora off a metal roof

Top rating for Ben and his crew. Great attitude and communication. Showed their experience and professionalism removing a 25m angophora that had fallen onto the metal roof of our house. They undertook this challenging task carefully and safely while minimising risk of any further damage. A high level of skill was needed to co-ordinate with the crew of the 60 tonne crane that was used. Cleaned up well. Total success, happy client. Highly recommended.

Ross Google review
Dangerous tree after the storms

Ben and his team were amazing. We had a very large dangerous tree that needed removing urgently after the storms. Great communication, speedy response and had the job done within 2 weeks. Great value for money and left the site remarkably clean based on the work taken on. Highly recommend. Thanks Ben

Broken branch, trees and stumps

We had a fantastic experience with Ben and his hard working team. From our initial consult to job completion everything was smooth and professional.

They fitted us in fast due to a dangerous broken tree branch that was unsafe. Their price came in lower than three other much higher quotes we received and his team arrived on time, removed the dangerous tree and afew others that we agreed to and ground down afew stumps.

Ben also suggested he could dispose of the excess cuttings we had piled in our garden with no extra cost. The team manager Vern was polite and friendly making sure we were kept updated on their progress. The team worked very efficiently and had the jobs completed on time and left our garden tidy and removed all the waste.

Trees cleared on a block

Ben and his team did an amazing job clearing trees on our land. Every care has been put in place to be sure everyone's safe and the trees removed carefully and methodically within the DA assessment, Ecologist and Arborist requirements. Absolutely high level of professionalism and teamship.

Highly competitive and fair pricing vs others...a very honest business culture. All equipment needed and manpower used to get the job done with exceptional outcome. Highly impressive and recommendable.

Five large trees and the stumps

We have used Ben Hastings Tree Services twice now, this last time Ben and his team removed 5 large trees and multiple stumps from around our property. Very punctual and professional. Nothing was a hassle. We have already recommended Ben Hastings Tree Service to multiple people. A job very well done!

Tree work questions

Got a different question? Give Ben a call.

Do I pay anything up front?

No. Ben Hastings Tree Service doesn't ask for money up front. You pay once the work is finished.

Can you come out after a storm?

Yes. We're open 24 hours for storm damage and emergency work, so call the mobile any time.

Do I need council approval to remove a tree?

Often, yes. Central Coast Council has rules on which trees need a permit, so check before any tree comes down. Ask Ben about it when he quotes.

What happens to the branches and wood?

Branches go through the chipper on site. The wood can be cut into rounds and stacked for you, or taken away.

Do you remove palms?

Yes. Palms are one of our most common jobs, from cleaning off dead fronds to taking out several big palms in a day.

Ask Ben for a quote

Tell us about the tree and where it is. A photo helps. Ben will be in touch to arrange a time to have a look.
