Casey, Bowie, and a crew that does what it says

From contracting to the top of the map

Casey started Tweed Coast Tree Surgeons in March 2024. Before that he was contracting for other tree companies: earning a wage, building nothing of his own. He registered the business with no brand, no reviews, no Google listing, and got to work.

A couple of years on, at the time of writing, the business ranks number one on Google Maps for "tree removal Tweed Heads near me", with 44+ five-star reviews and a crew that runs jobs while Casey takes a break. None of that came from marketing. It came from turning up on time, doing the work properly, and leaving every site cleaner than he found it.

Casey plus Bowie, plus crew when it's needed

We're a small outfit, and that's the point. Casey is the owner and the AQF Level 3 arborist on the tools. Bowie's the climber when the cherry picker won't fit and a tree has to come down by rope and rigging. For bigger jobs we bring extra hands. We never work solo: minimum crew of two on every job, because a ground spotter isn't a luxury, it's the safe operating standard.

The honest line on qualifications

Casey holds AQF Level 3 in arboriculture, the qualification for the climbing, rigging and removal work, and for identifying pest species like cocos palm under the Gold Coast rules. For Council-authorised Level 5 consulting work (dangerous-tree determinations, arborist reports, tree protection plans) we partner with an AQF Level 5 consulting arborist and coordinate it as one project. We don't claim to be something we're not. The honest version is stronger.

Credentials and compliance

We're a registered NSW Government supplier on the buy.nsw marketplace, which means we've been through the vetting that government and larger commercial work requires. We carry $20M public liability, write a Safe Work Method Statement for every job, and can provide a certificate of currency on request. For strata committees, property managers and agents, that paper trail isn't a nice-to-have, it's the price of entry, and we keep it as standard.

A tree is an asset, and a risk

A big tree on a property is worth protecting, right up until it becomes the thing most likely to damage the house. Our job is to read which side of that line your tree is on, and to handle it so the answer protects you either way. That means an honest assessment before any saw comes out, a documented scope, the right method for the risk, and a clean site at the end. Less "we cut trees", more "we manage the risk a tree carries". It's the difference that matters when the tree is over your roof or near the powerlines.
