About Us


Lead by Matt, Driftwood Arborist is the crossroad between environmentalist and a professional tree service. This means we strive for ethical solutions towards managing trees in populated areas. Whether it’s with tight access, over assets, high risk, or otherwise, we have a solution for you. See our Services page for more on that.

The grassroots of Driftwood Arborist is a long engagement with National Parks through rock climbing, back country skiing, bushwalking, and more. This lead to study in Outdoor and Environmental Education at LaTrobe University, where a scientific understanding and appreciation for trees began, and went hand in hand with Arboricultural studies soon after. As the industry progresses, we endeavour to separate and create distinction between arborist and tree lopper through education and best practices.

We aim to reinvest in the community through our services, projects, giveaways, employment and collaborations. You can read about some of these on our Projects page, or see some examples on our Facebook and Instagram pages. If you would like us to take a look at your trees and discuss potential options suited to you, you can reach us via our Contact page, or click the call button below.
