The Chip Off The Old Block
Eric's European Grandfather migrated to Australia from Europe as a skilled worker and has been the owner operator of his tree works company for more than 40 years. Eric's two Uncles and Father all continue to work in arboriculture between Sydney and Brisbane operating their own business. As a teenager Eric began working for his Grandfather during school holidays.

Once completing his senior school education he commenced his apprenticeship in QLD under his father who has 25 years experience in the industry as a qualified Level 5 Aborist. His speciality skill was as a high altitude climber and he was also responsible for day to day operations coordinating crews and jobs.

At Chip Off The Old Block all work performed whether it is tree lopping, tree cutting or stump grinding we take the time and care to make sure any and all buildings, homes, fences and people are left exactly the same way as we found them. Tree removal can be a confusing and sometimes daunting thing for you, your family and also the neighbours surrounding your home or business.
Complete removal of a tree involves the process of stump grinding. Trees often have very intricate structural root systems that can cause major damage to underground services and building infrastructure. Chip Off The Old Block has a large variety sized stump grinders to cater for any job from a carry-on stump grinding machines to a large truck- mounted machines strong enough to take on very large old hard tree stumps.
The most common species of palm namely the cocos or syagrus romanzoffiana, can look very untidy and unsightly without proper maintenance. To clean a palm we must climb to the top and cut off the old dead palm fronds, seed pods and berry clusters.

Although it is not necessary for the health of the palm, regular maintenance is highly recommended for aesthetic and safety reasons as it is quite common for dead palm fronds to simply peel away and fall from the tree.Regular palm maintenance assists in keeping bats, rats, possums and snakes away. The cocos palm species makes up a large percentage of suburban palms planted in South East Qld and is a declared pest.

AMAZING, AMAZING, AMAZING. I couldn't be happier. Eric came the same day I called to provide a quote which was very well priced, and I locked him in right away. His crew turned up about 30min early on the day (calling first to make sure that was okay), and they did an EXCEPTIONAL job... they were great, and my son and I watched them work their magic. Nothing was too much trouble, and they cleaned up after they were done.
I recommend them 100%

The guys at Chip off the Old Block were great! Very quick to provide a quote and get the job done. Eric even managed to fit in an earlier visit after one of the trees fell down a week early! Highly recommended!

Critical: Responsiveness
A sub-contract team was sent. Left much debris behind and caused damage to our driveway, clothesline, irrigation system and shed walls and roof. Despite assurances by them they would address the damage, and multiple attempts by us to contact them, the owner has not responded back for 5 weeks.

Brilliant, guys were polite and extremely efficient. Did a great job with ease, didn’t damage anything on site and when finished, they cleaned up everything and took all tree waste away with their chipping machine. The price was very reasonable and I will be using them in the future when my trees need trimming. 10/10 would highly recommend using this company!

I called Eric last week to organise a quote to remove some problem trees at my mums place in Wynnum. He was friendly and punctual, provided a very competitive quote and did a fantastic job! The boys took lots of care working around my mums established gardens and cleaned up really well after they were finished. Highly recommend these guys 👍🏻👍🏻
