Tree lopping and removal of large unwanted trees
When a big tree is in the wrong spot, too close to a shed or house, or simply needs to come down, Double Creek Excavations & Rural Contracting can help with lopping and removal, with the machinery to handle large timber.
Large trees, handled carefully
Large trees are heavy, awkward and hard to deal with by hand. Overhanging limbs, trees near buildings and dead or unwanted trees all need a careful, practical approach.
We help with tree lopping and the removal of large unwanted trees across Calliope, Gladstone, Rockhampton, Biloela, Agnes Water, Monto and surrounding areas, for rural, residential, commercial and industrial properties.
Tree work is part of our vegetation management services, so it can be combined with clearing, mulching and clean-up work where needed.
Tree work we can help with
Tree lopping
Cutting back large limbs and overhanging branches that are getting in the way of buildings, fences, driveways or tracks.

Milling suitable timber

A plan first, then the job
Tree work needs a plan. We look at the size of the tree, where it will come down, what is around it and how machinery can get in, then work out the safest practical approach.
The goal is simple: get the tree down safely and leave the area tidy and usable.
What to think about before booking tree work
Approvals – Some trees and areas are protected under council or state vegetation rules. If you are not sure whether a tree can come down, check with your local council first and we can talk it through.
Access – Machinery needs room to get in and work safely around the tree.
What is nearby – Buildings, fences, tanks, tracks and other trees all affect how a tree is taken down.
The timber – Let us know whether you want the timber and branches removed, left on site, mulched or milled.
