The A Cutt Above chipper truck on a land clearing job with Wollumbin in the distance

Jack Penglase and his team.

A Cutt Above is led by Jack Penglase – his name and number are painted on the side of the truck, which tells you how he stands behind the work. The crew are Cert III qualified arborists based in Sleepy Hollow, servicing from the Gold Coast to the Tweed, Byron and Mullum hinterland.

Read the reviews and the same words keep coming up: "arrived on time and worked really hard", "cleaned up afterwards", "pricing was extremely reasonable". That's the standard, whether it's one palm or a whole block.

What you can count on.

On time, working hard

"Arrived on time and worked really hard" – that's a customer talking, not us. The crew turns up when they say and doesn't stand around.

Qualified and insured

Cert III qualified arborists, fully insured. Big removals near houses, fences and sheds get planned and rigged properly, not winged.

Left clean, priced fair

Everything chipped, the yard cleaned up afterwards, and pricing customers call "extremely reasonable considering quotes we obtained from others".

Morning mist drifting through a eucalypt forest

Qualified climbers, careful work.

Trees close to the house, over the traffic, hard against the fence and the shed – customers hand the crew exactly those jobs, and the reviews describe how they come out: highly skilled, efficient, and cleaned up after.

How a job actually runs.

Tell Jack what's worrying you or have him take a look. Precise advice and a fair, reasonable price – no obligation.

02

The plan

Access, rigging and drop zones sorted before a saw starts – especially around houses, fences, pools and tight gates.

03

The work

Climb, fell, lower and chip. Qualified climbers working hard, cheerfully, for as long as the job takes.

04

The clean-up

Branches chipped, timber carted or cut to length, the yard raked out. Mulch available if you want it for the gardens.

In their own words.

"Couldn't be happier, Jack and team arrived on time and worked really hard to cut out a massive fig tree and Coolamon tree from my yard. Then mulched the whole lot ready for my new gardens! Now I have a gorgeous view of the mountain that I haven't seen for years! Thanks guys! Vicki"
