About Maitland Tree Service
Qualified arborists providing professional tree services across Maitland and the Hunter Valley region. Fully insured, locally operated, and committed to doing the job properly.
Who We Are
Maitland Tree Service is a locally operated tree service business based in Maitland, NSW. Our team of qualified arborists has spent years working specifically within Maitland and across the wider Hunter Valley region, building deep knowledge of local tree species, soil conditions, and the specific challenges that Hunter Valley weather throws at property owners.
We provide the full range of professional tree services — tree removal, stump grinding, pruning, canopy management, arborist reports, and 24/7 emergency storm response. Whether you have a single branch that needs taking off or a massive tree that requires crane-assisted removal, we have the equipment and expertise to handle it safely.
Every job we do is backed by $20 million in public liability insurance, and our arborists hold current qualifications to Australian standards. We work with Maitland City Council on any permit requirements and can handle the application process on your behalf when protected trees are involved.

Working with Maitland City Council
Many trees in Maitland are protected under local council regulations. Before removing or significantly pruning a tree, you may need approval from Maitland City Council. Our arborists are experienced with the local permit process and can prepare the required documentation, submit applications, and liaise with council on your behalf.
If you're unsure whether your tree is protected or what approvals you need, contact us for a free assessment. We'll inspect the tree, advise on your options, and handle the paperwork if a permit is required.
