Pruning & Tree Removal
Melbourne Arborists and Pruning
Every job starts with an on-site look, not a guess over the phone. Some trees need a hard prune, others need to come down altogether. We tell you which, and why, before any climbing starts.
What's included
Every job, assessed and climbed properly
On-site assessment
We look at the species, structure and access before quoting, not a price guessed from a photo.
Climbed by a certified arborist
AQF3 and AQF5 certified climbers do the work themselves, rigged and lowered section by section where needed.
Full clean-up
Branches, offcuts and sawdust cleared before we leave, the site left the way we found it.
Timber and mulch, your call
Take the wood as firewood, have it chipped into mulch, or we haul all of it away, whatever suits you.
Prune or remove?
Not every tree needs to come down
We will always tell you honestly which one a tree actually needs, not just quote whatever was asked for.
Usually just needs a prune
Usually needs to come down
Worth knowing
Why do I need to get a tree looked at?
Every now and then a tree develops a weak limb, a lean, or a patch of dead wood that is worth dealing with before wind or a storm makes that decision for you instead. Nothing to lose sleep over, just something worth having a proper set of eyes on. Left long enough, a small issue near the crown can turn into a much bigger job once it starts affecting the rest of the tree.
Permits & compliance
If it needs council approval, we handle that too
Many Melbourne councils require a permit before removing a tree above a certain size, particularly in a Significant Tree Overlay area. We will tell you during the quote if yours is affected, and lodge the application on your behalf.
The climb
Rigged, roped, and taken down piece by piece
Every limb lowered under control, not dropped, so gardens, fences and roofs stay exactly as they were.
FAQ
Questions we actually get asked
We look at the structure, health and safety risk on-site and tell you honestly which one the tree actually needs, not just quote whichever was asked for.

Your choice, we can leave it as firewood, chip it into mulch, or haul all of it away.
Most residential removals are done in a single day, larger or harder access jobs sometimes need two.
