We Prioritise Tree Preservation

Safe and Professional Tree Removal in the Southern Highlands

At Addicted to Gardens, we provide professional tree removal services in Bowral that can help restore and enhance the look of your property.


Unlike typical arborists, we prioritise tree preservation first. Our approach involves thorough tree evaluations, considering all factors, before determining the best course of action. We aim to retain trees whenever possible—by skilfully trimming branches to enhance tree structure, form, safety and seasonal lighting—however if the tree is already dead or showing hazard to the community and properties, we are highly skilled at removing it.


In most cases, our team will use specialised tools, such as chainsaws, ropes and a spider lift, to cut the tree at its base and safely bring it down in one piece. If space is limited or the tree is close to structures, we may opt for sectional removal—taking down part of the tree at a time until only the stump remains. Stump removal is then completed using special grinding techniques to ensure optimal results.


Sometimes removing a tree is the safest option, whether it’s a dead gum in Mittagong, a diseased pine in Bowral, or a tree too close to your home in Moss Vale. At Addicted to Gardens, we specialise in tree removal across the Southern Highlands, using modern equipment and safe methods to minimise impact on your property.

Why Choose Addicted to Gardens for Tree Removal

Tree removal is one of the most technical arborist services, and you want it done right. Our qualified and insured arborists provide safe and efficient removals, even in tight spaces or near structures. Locals trust us because we’re professional, affordable, and committed to leaving properties safe and tidy.


Removing trees can also help prevent the spread of diseases and pests to other healthy trees in the area while allowing more sunlight to reach nearby plants and promoting better airflow.

Protect your Southern Highlands property

Tree removal is an important part of maintaining the safety, aesthetics and value of your property. When done correctly, it can help protect your family and assets by eliminating potential hazards posed by damaged or unstable trees. It also helps to enhance the overall appearance of your property, improve street appeal and free up space for other landscaping projects or amenities like a patio, pool or garden.

Matthew was fantastic. He came out and gave an honest assessment (and a better price than I was expecting!). The work was done professionally and with no fuss at all. I couldn't recommend Matthew and Addicted to Gardens from Bowral highly enough.

Five black stars.

Just did a fantastic job on pruning my Japanese Maple and Prunus Elvins. Both trees pruned, branches all mulched and clean up. All done in 1 hour. Would have taken me all weekend. Can't believe how efficient Matthew is. Highly recommended Addicted to Gardens in Bowral.
