Advice on trees, from someone who does not sell the work.

Send the property address and whatever you have been told. Most enquiries are sorted in one conversation — the question is usually whether the vegetation is protected, what document has been named, and what stage the project is at. Those three answers pick the service.

Both. Developers, architects and builders are the core commercial audience, but residential property owners, councils, schools and other consultants all engage Adam. A tree near a house is the same assessment work as a tree on a development site.

You can, and many are perfectly competent. The structural difference is that a report from a business that would also carry out the works is written by someone whose fee changes with the outcome. Adam's does not. That is worth knowing before you commission one, not after.

No, and that is deliberate. This is a consultancy. He carries out specialist work that belongs to the consulting role — root pruning, root investigations, supervision, plant healthcare treatments — but general removal, lopping and pruning contracting are outside the business, which is exactly what keeps the advice independent.

Brisbane is the core market, with the service area running north to about Noosa, south to about Helensvale and west to about Ipswich. Adam advises on vegetation approvals across seven South East Queensland councils, and travel further afield is considered for suitable projects.
