Tree trimming and pruning on the Central Coast
Keep the trees you love, and take out what's dead, dangerous or in the way.
Not every tree needs to come down
Often the better answer is a careful trim. Taking out dead wood, lifting the canopy or thinning it lets in light and takes weight off the branches that worry you.
Ben will tell you what to trim, what to cut and what to leave. He cares about trees, and he'll say so when one is worth keeping.
Palms are a regular job too: dead fronds, nuts and seed pods cleaned off before they drop.
What customers say about Ben and his team
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.
Really professional and efficient team. Did a fantastic job trimming and removing palms from our property. Left the site clean. Great value and very happy.
We've had Ben and his team over on two separate occasions (we have a lot of varied ginormous, mature trees on our block) and both times he was on time and completed everything he could. In total, Ben has removed 20 trees and trimmed branches. Yes, we still have many trees remaining, we're not tree haters by any means.
One, was a family of possums living in one of our rotten trees and in addition there was a safety risk that the trees would split in two because of the rot. Ben talked me through his concerns being the family of possums and the safety of his team if the tree was to split when they were cutting it. This tree is still standing, to be removed when it's safe for all.
Ben is professional, his prices are very competitive and he knows what he's doing. Be assured he works safely and tidy.
We recently contacted Ben for some tree work and found him to be professional, friendly, super-responsive and went above and beyond, writing a report for Council for us. We would definitely use Ben Hastings Tree Services again in the future.
Excellent removal of several difficult palm trees very close to the roof line with poor access. No damage to the roof. Trees removed with no fuss and good clean up afterwards. Couldn't ask for better service. Strongly recommend.
