About Us

Welcome to why arb

At Why Arb, we’re passionate about trees and the role they play in shaping Hobart’s natural beauty.

At Why Arb, we believe that understanding your “WHY” is the first step in providing
the best possible solution for your trees and property. Whether it’s pruning for
safety, improving aesthetics, or removing trees for better light and views, every
decision we make is guided by your specific needs and goals. By starting with your
“WHY,” we can tailor our approach to ensure that your trees receive the care they
need while meeting your unique expectations.

Founded by Rory Burdett Hammonds in Hobart an arborist with over 18 years
experience, Why Arb is dedicated to providing professional tree care services
across Southern Tasmania. Rory, a strong advocate for safety and quality, has built
a team of highly qualified and well-trained arborists who are equipped to handle
any tree-related challenge. From routine maintenance to large-scale tree
removals, we’re committed to delivering optimal outcomes for both the health of
your trees and the safety of your property.

Rory’s commitment to safety is reflected in his for the latest tools and machinery.
With an emphasis on speed, accuracy, and safety, Why Arb ensures that every job
is completed efficiently and safely. This stands in stark contrast to unqualified
workers who offer underpriced tree services, often putting themselves, their
customers, and the surrounding environment at risk.

Having built Why Arb on a foundation of professionalism, Rory is dedicated to
promoting high standards within the tree care industry. Too often, customers are
misled by unqualified workers, given inaccurate quotations, or worse, unknowingly
engage in illegal practices. Rory and his team aim to change this, providing
transparent, honest, and reliable service that protects the interests of every
customer.
