Tree pruning
I have been out of action for the past couple weeks due to some health issues so to those who tried getting in touch from my last post I apologise I couldn’t respond to you in a reasonable time frame.
My name is Jack and I have made this small tree business as ‘side hustle’ to my full time job as an apprentice arborist, working for 1-2 Tree Services. I think doing my own tree work on a part time basis will compliment my apprenticeship training.
Unlike other large and well established tree companies, I unfortunately don’t have all the fancy machinery and equipment available at my disposal (such as a wood chipper) so my ability to remove waste from properties could be a problem for some. Fortunately I do have the basic tools for pruning such as a small chainsaw and a pole pruner. I am also familiar with climbing techniques and have my own climbing equipment, If the job requires me to climb.
Services I provide are:
-Crown reduction
-Crown lifting
-Crown thinning
-Crown cleaning (dead,diseased,dying)
-Drone and cat rescue
I am choosing not provide tree removal as a service because I do not have the skills and experience in that type of work right now. Depending on the size of the tree and it’s condition, it can be extremely dangerous. I suggest contacting 1-2 Tree Services for tree removals and more risky pruning jobs.
Please contact me through email with what your after (provide a photo if possible) if your interested.

Kmart duvet recall
Kmart will be recalling a number of their Anko duvet sets.
What you need to know:
- The recall is involving Christmas-themed duvets: Mrs & Mrs Claus Reversible Queen Size Bed Quilt Cover Set and Christmas Elf Reversible Single Bed Quilt Cover Set
- A recall of the products began in Australia following health concerns from several families.
- One woman said she thought she was having a heart attack after using one of the products which smelt of diesel.
- One customer said she’d purchased the quilt covers and said they smelled like gas. Another mum said hers did not have that smell but claimed her son developed a rash that only went away when he stopped using the product.
- The product is no longer available for purchase on the Kmart website.
Regardless of whether you have experienced an issue, customers who have purchased this item may return the product to store for a refund.
