End-to-End Tree Management? What Does it Mean?

The answer is simple, end-to-end tree management means addressing a tree’s needs throughout the various stages of its life. From the delicate beginnings of a sapling to the majestic stature of a mature tree, at every phase of its life cycle, a tree has unique needs and requires specialised attention. As an end-to-end tree management service, pgg understands these varying needs across different stages of tree growth and customises our approach accordingly.

With over three decades of experience in tree management, our founders Craig and Deb Hosking have forged a dynamic collective of companies known as pgg. Our pgg companies include: EDEN4, Project Green, AUSTRAL and Wood For Good. While each pgg company specialises in distinct aspects of tree management, together they constitute an unmatched end-to-end solution.

Importantly, pgg is guided by a simple mission “caring for people and planet through responsible tree management”. This mission guides all pgg companies to balance our clients tree and asset management needs with their responsibility to both the environment and community. Our pgg companies are independently accredited by Intertek SAI Global (ISO 9001, ISO14001 & ISO 45001) to ensure that our business practices meet globally recognised procedures for quality, health & safety and environmental management.

1. EDEN4: Stay On Top Of Every Tree:

Different trees have different needs and by leveraging the power of data analytics, the EDEN4 software helps to identify areas of high risk or low resilience, and guide decision-making around maintenance, planting, and other interventions.

EDEN4 offers a user-friendly and highly customisable interface built for seamless collaboration and scalability, making it perfect for various applications such as tree and asset management, risk identification/mitigation, bushfire compliance, nature education, workflow management, and more.
