Robert de Jong, the visionary behind Arbor Express, boasts over three decades of expertise in the Australian arboriculture sector. In 1993, he launched Discount Tree Services, which grew to become Canberra's premier arborist company, serving the entire Canberra area, including public housing, Duntroon, and all ACT public schools. Robert's dedication to quality, meticulousness, and customer satisfaction firmly established Discount Tree Services as a top provider of arboricultural services in the region.
Following the successful sale of Discount Tree Services in 2011, Robert founded Arbor Express. This new venture specialises in delivering comprehensive arboricultural consultancy services across across Melbourne metropolitan, Bendigo, Ballarat, Wyndham, Melton, Hume/Mitchel, Whittlesey, Casey/Cardinia and all major towns throughout regional Victoria.
Known for his practical problem-solving skills and professional, positive demeanor, Robert is highly respected by clients. He brings extensive knowledge to our team, ensuring that Arbor Express provides outstanding arboricultural services that consistently exceed client expectations.
The Arbor Express team consists of arboricultural consultants and ecologists who specialise in arborist reports, flora and fauna assessments, and vegetation management plans. We recognise the complex interdependence between plants and wildlife within ecosystems. Our ecologists collaborate closely with our arborists to offer comprehensive solutions, whether it's assessing the effects of development on native species or evaluating ecological communities.
Legislative requirements frequently demand the protection and preservation of trees and ecological habitats on development sites, necessitating an Arboricultural Impact Assessment. By getting involved early in development projects, we significantly minimise the risk of delays related to these essential ecological considerations.
We understand that trees can present safety concerns, and one of our core strengths is working closely with landholders to effectively manage these risks on their properties. Using cutting-edge, industry-recognised risk assessment tools along with a state-of-the-art online platform, we proudly offer the most advanced and comprehensive tree management program available.
Rest assured, Arbor Express is dedicated to supporting you every step of the way. Whether you need a safety report, an impact assessment for a development, a flora and fauna assessment, or a comprehensive tree management program, our team of skilled arborists and ecologists is here to assist you professionally and efficiently.
Arbor Express has expanded to offer a complete suite of environmental services tailored for development projects. In this enhanced role, we now proudly provide flora and fauna assessments and vegetation management plans, utilising the expertise of our dedicated ecological team. This expansion enables us to deliver holistic solutions that address both arboricultural and ecological aspects, ensuring thorough assessments and comprehensive support for our clients in the development sector.
