Services
Tree Removal
Our tree removal service handles both residential and commercial projects, using cranes and specialised equipment for safe, efficient large-scale operations. We prioritise site protection and complete debris removal, including mulch and stump grinding to 300-400mm depth. Backed by ISO certifications and $20M insurance, we ensure compliance with Melbourne's strict vegetation regulations while maintaining safety and aesthetics.
Tree Pruning
Specialising in formative pruning, weight reduction, and hazard branch removal, we maintain tree health while adhering to Australian Standards AS 4373. Our certified arborists use aerial inspections and dynamic bracing techniques to enhance structural integrity. Regular maintenance pruning prevents failures and extends tree lifespan, particularly for mature specimens in urban environments.
Cable Bracing
Dynamic bracing and steel cable systems reinforce structurally compromised trees, reducing failure risks while preserving natural aesthetics. We install UV-stabilized polyester ropes and galvanised rods to support heavy limbs or split stems. Regular inspections ensure long-term effectiveness, particularly for trees overhanging high-use areas.
Habitat Creation
We install Thermal Haven Nest Boxes and create habitat hollows to support native wildlife populations. Our certified installation methods use stainless steel fixings for durability, while chainsaw carving creates artificial hollows tailored to specific species requirements. This service aligns with Melbourne's biodiversity conservation goals.
Tree Health Care
Combining mycorrhizal soil injections with systemic pest control, we address tree health issues caused by disease or infestation. Our arborists diagnose conditions like elm leaf beetle infestations and implement biennial treatment plans. This proactive approach strengthens immune systems while maintaining urban tree vitality.
Questions
Do I need a permit to prune or remove a tree in Melbourne?
Victoria's vegetation controls often require permits for tree work. Contact your local council or our arborists to check regulations specific to your property and tree species.
When should I consider removing a tree?
Tree removal becomes necessary for safety reasons like structural instability, storm damage, or significant health decline. Our certified arborists assess risks and explore preservation options before recommending removal.
How do you handle neighbour tree disputes?
While we recommend discussing issues directly with tree owners, our arborists can provide expert assessments for overhanging branches. We follow council guidelines for legal pruning limits and root management solutions.
Are gum trees dangerous?
Properly maintained eucalyptus trees pose minimal risk. We recommend regular pruning and bracing for heavy limbs, along with species-specific management plans to ensure safety while preserving these iconic Australian trees.
What emergency tree services do you offer?
We provide 24/7 emergency response for hazardous trees, including storm damage and fallen branches. Our rapid crews carry full insurance and have the equipment to handle urgent safety concerns.
