We go out on a limb so you don't have to
Family-run, fully insured, and based right here in Thornlands. The Green Tree Gorilla handles tree removal, lopping, pruning, stump grinding and storm clean-ups across the Redlands and the bayside Brisbane suburbs - tidy, on time, and at a fair price.
The Green Tree Gorilla is a small, local tree business run by Cam, with over 10 years in the tree industry. We handle everything from a single overgrown gum to a full backyard clear-out. We turn up when we say we will, do the job properly, and leave your place tidy. And because we're a small team with lower overheads than the big operators, our quotes are genuinely competitive.
Fully insured.
Full public liability cover, so you and your property are protected from the moment we arrive - every job, no exceptions.
Free, no-obligation quotes.
We come out, take a proper look, and give you a clear price with no pressure and no surprises.
Local and reliable.
Based in Thornlands and working across the Redlands every week. We know the area, the trees, and the council rules.
Clean finish.
We cart it away and tidy up before we leave - you'd hardly know we'd been there, except the tree's gone.
What we do
Tree Removal
Any size, any spot. We climb and dismantle in tight backyards or fell where there's room, then clear the lot right down to the stump and leave the site tidy.
Palm Pruning & Removal
Fronds, seed pods, or the whole palm. We clean up the self-sown cocos before the pods spread seedlings through every garden bed.
Pruning & Lopping
Shaping, thinning, lifting and deadwooding to take the weight off heavy limbs and clear risky branches. Cut at the right points so the tree stays healthy.
Storm & Emergency Tree Work
Fast response when a tree or limb comes down across the drive, on the roof, or blocking access. We make the area safe and clear the mess.
Stump Grinding
Ground out to 250mm below the surface so you can replant, turf or pave straight over. No trip hazard, no regrowth, no rotting stump left behind.
Hedging & Yard Tidy Ups
Hedge trimming, overgrown beds cut back, and the green waste hauled away. The jobs you've been putting off, sorted in one visit.
Storm damage? We respond fast
When a tree or big limb comes down - across the driveway, on the roof, or blocking access - you need it dealt with quickly and safely. We respond fast to storm-damaged and dangerous trees right across the Redlands, make the area safe, and clear the mess. If a tree's on powerlines or there's an immediate danger to life, call Energex or 000 first; once it's safe, call us.

Not sure if you need council approval?
Some trees in the Redlands are protected and some aren't - it depends on the tree, your block and Redland City Council's rules. We deal with those rules every week, and none of the other local mobs explain them properly. Read our plain-English guide to when you can and can't remove a tree - or just ask us when we quote.

We had a very tough job of removing a very large clump of bamboo. As well as being extremely professional, Cam committed to this difficult job and worked through to completion. Would recommend Cam’s tree removal business without hesitation. Tara – Camp Hill
Reliable, on time, professional. Cam and his team did an amazing job cutting, removing and stump grinding big trees for us. Would not hesitate to recommend them.
