Who We Are
Lop Chop Chip is a fully insured, qualified arborist and tree care business based in the Bay Islands, Queensland. We service Macleay Island, Russell Island, Lamb Island, Karragarra Island, Stradbroke Island, Moreton Bay Island, and the greater Redland City area.
As the longest-standing arborist on the Bay Islands, we’ve built our reputation on doing the job right: safely, efficiently, and with genuine care for your property and the environment.
What We Do
Lop Chop Chip delivers professional tree services to homeowners, commercial clients, and local councils across the Bay Islands and Redland City.
From routine tree pruning and stump grinding to emergency storm response and land clearing, our qualified team handles it all. Every job is carried out to Australian industry standards with safety as our number one priority.
Our Story
Lop Chop Chip was founded over 15 years ago by Raice Nicholls, a qualified arborist with deep roots in the Bay Islands community. What started as a small, family-run partnership has grown into one of the most trusted tree services companies in Redland City.
Raice still leads every job with the same hands-on commitment that built this business, and that’s something no big franchise can offer.
Our Team
Like any great business, our success comes down to the quality of our people. Our team has extensive hands-on experience in the tree services industry and knows what it takes to meet industry standards in safety and tree care.
Safety is our top priority. Every member of our team holds a current first aid and CPR certification, and we maintain the highest operating standards to protect our staff, contractors, and members of the public on every job site.
We recruit across all levels, from entry positions through to AQF Level 4 Arborist. Every team member holds the appropriate licences and qualifications for their role, including elevated work platform licences, chainsaw tickets, and traffic management certification.

We invest heavily in our people. Ongoing formal training, professional memberships, and continued education aren’t just nice to haves here, they’re part of how we stay the best in the Bay Islands.
Our Clients
Working across the Bay Islands, we know that reputation is everything. Most of our work comes through word of mouth and repeat business, and we think that says more about us than any ad ever could.
Over 15 years, Lop Chop Chip has built a loyal client base spanning homeowners, real estate agencies, resorts, and local government. From a single tree on a residential block to ongoing vegetation management contracts, we bring the same standard of care to every job.
