Vince and his crew did a fantastic job removing and chipping a damaged and diseased wattle that had come down in the backyard. Vince is very knowledgeable, courteous and friendly. The team arrived on time, worked very professionally and cleaned up everything afterwards. They even cleaned up the road after doing the chipping. We are absolutely delighted with the result, and would highly recommend them for all your tree service needs.

Vince and his crew did a great job pruning our trees. They were friendly and professional, and left the yard immaculately clean. There are probably cheaper options out there but I would definitely use Balwyn Tree Service again and recommend them to others.

Vince is reliable, honest, efficient and provides a quality service. It was refreshing to deal with a trades professional who was not only a gentleman but a true 'professional'. The best tree doctor I have had.

Balwyn Tree Service are the most thorough and trustworthy tradesmen I have ever dealt with. They are prompt, helpful with advice and have been meticulous with their tree surgery on each occasion. If only other tradesmen could operate like them, life would be so much easier!
