Grower-direct trade supply · South East Queensland

Every tree we sell, we grew.

So we know the height of every one of them, we hold it for your job, and we put it on our own truck.

Availability updated

Height, not pot size

Quote a 2m tree and a 2m tree arrives. We grade and sell by height because we grew it.

Our own fleet

No third-party freight. We control the date, the handling and the drop.

Stock held

We hold your trees while your client makes up their mind. Ask when you quote.

Six-month guarantee

Plant quality assurance backs every tree that leaves the farm.

25,000 in stock

Depth across the screening lines, so a big run does not turn into three deliveries.

Current availability

What's in the ground this week

Trade rates apply on an approved account. Tap a tree for the full specification, spacing and site notes.

Demonstration pricing. Species, height bands and list prices come straight from the live Square catalogue. The trade rate shown is a placeholder set at 20 per cent under list, and it is replaced by Rob's price list before launch.

Nothing matches that. Clear a filter, or call us on 1800 TREECO and we will tell you what is coming on.

Two calculators for the questions you get asked standing in the client's yard.

Planting and establishment

The specification we hand to crews, written so you can pass it straight to your client as a care sheet.

Pit
Twice the root ball wide, same depth. Never deeper.
Backfill
Site soil, lightly ameliorated. Avoid a rich pit in poor ground.
Staking
Two stakes outside the root ball, flexible ties, removed at 12 months.
Mulch
75mm coarse mulch, pulled back 50mm clear of the trunk.
Water, weeks 1 to 4
Deep soak twice weekly. Wet the root ball, not the surface.
Water, months 2 to 6
Weekly deep soak, tapering as the tree takes.
First feed
Slow release at 8 weeks, then each spring.
First trim on hedging
Tip prune at planting to force lateral density. Formative trim at 6 months.

Guarantee. Six-month plant quality assurance applies where this specification is followed. Photograph the planting on handover and keep it with the job file.

Trade questions

The things you ring and ask

Can you hold stock while I wait on a client?

Yes. Tell us the job and we tag the trees. There is no charge to hold and no deposit while a quote is live. It is the main reason contractors buy from a grower instead of a marketplace.

Will the tree be the height I quoted?

Yes. We grow every tree we sell, so we grade by height rather than pot size. If we list a 1.7m tree, that is what goes on the truck.

How much notice do you need for a delivery date?

Ring it in as early as you can and we will book the day. Our own fleet runs the schedule, so we are not waiting on a third-party freight slot.

Do you deliver to site or to the yard?

Either. Tell us access, and whether there is someone on site to take the drop. Tight access and crane jobs need a call first.

Can I get a photo before it leaves?

Yes. We photograph the load so you can send it to your client and confirm the grade before the truck moves.

What about contract growing?

For staged projects we grow to order. Talk to us about lead times, usually 12 to 24 months depending on species and finished height.

Do you supply outside South East Queensland?

Our fleet covers the two zones listed above. Beyond that, call us and we will work out freight.
