A Sydney family business, with a yard in Bankstown
Tree Removal Bankstown is the local face of Above All Tree Services Pty Ltd. Wayne Back started Above All in 2004 after 20 years running his own veterinary practice. It has grown from two people to seven full-time staff and a casual crew, with the cranes and elevated work platforms for the hardest jobs, and it is still run by the Back family.
The business works from four bases across Sydney: the head office in Engadine, and yards and offices in Ryde, Gordon and Bankstown. For Canterbury-Bankstown and the south-west, that means a crew based in Bankstown. None of the bases is open to the public: we come to you. The main website has the whole team, recent jobs and Google reviews.

Bankstown locals, properly qualified
Tree lopping is an unregulated trade: anyone with a ute and a chainsaw can call themselves an arborist. Here is what ours actually hold.
- 22 years in business. Above All Tree Services has been a family business since 2004, now seven full-time staff plus casual crew, with cranes and elevated work platforms for the hardest jobs.
- Two AQF Level 5 consulting arborists. Wayne Back and Joshua Baber hold the Diploma of Horticulture (Arboriculture), the qualification councils ask for when they want a "consulting arborist"; Josh writes the arborist reports councils ask for.
- Wayne teaches chainsaw operations at TAFE NSW part-time, and is a volunteer Deputy Captain and trainer with the NSW Rural Fire Service.
- Licensed for the dangerous bits: elevated work platforms over 11 m, Electrical Close Approach for work near service lines, and rail, ARTC and Sydney Airport inductions.
- $20 million public liability, $10 million professional indemnity and workers compensation. Ask any contractor for their certificate of currency; we'll hand you ours.
- Four bases across Sydney (Engadine, Ryde, Gordon, Bankstown), trusted by Bayside Council, strata managers and schools, and we call back almost as soon as your request comes in.
