Who's behind the lists
Steven Piper
Researcher and reviewer, Compare Tree Loppers
Compare Tree Loppers is researched and reviewed by Steven Piper. He's based on the Gold Coast and has spent years helping Australian trade and professional services businesses with their online presence, which is where he saw how hard it is to tell a good tree service from a good advertiser. He checks each list against ABN records, Google reviews, stated qualifications and each business's own details before it goes up.
Why the site exists
Search for a tree lopper on the Gold Coast or in Brisbane and much of what comes up is ads and keyword websites that pass your call to whoever pays. It's hard to tell who'll actually turn up, who's insured, and who knows the council rules. Compare Tree Loppers is meant to be a short, checkable alternative: the best rated local businesses for each type of job, each with the reasons it made the list.
How each list is put together
- Every business is checked for an ABN matching its trading name, a named owner or arborist, and a real local base.
- Google ratings and review counts come from Google and are refreshed regularly.
- Profiles only use facts we can check, such as the business's own website and its Google listing. Qualifications and insurance are as the business states them.
- Each page shows the date it was last reviewed.
The full criteria are on how we rank, and how the site is funded is on how we make money.
