AAA+++ for professional and reliable service! I can't recommend Mereki enough. We had a very difficult job with an old tree in an awkward position that required accuracy and patience to fell and Mereki was up for the task. He took his time to survey the whole property after discussing what our priorities were and kept our wishes to save precious garden at the forefront of his plan, while never compromising safety! He did an outstanding job and we are beyond pleased with the result. Thank you so very much!

What do arborist services include?

Arborists are often referred to as tree surgeons because of the intricate nature of their work and their focus on tree health when making recommendations. Using their industry experience, they consider all proposed outcomes and best practices before offering solutions or methods that are suitable for the situation. Whether it's for tree maintenance or management, here are some of the common you can expect when hiring arborists in your area:

Arborist report

An arborist report is usually needed to support council applications and development plans. The report may inform you about the tree species, health, safe useful life expectancy, and arboricultural rating. You might be applying to the council for development approval (DA) or for approval to remove trees from your property. This is important because removing trees can’t be done without council approval! 

Your arborist will check for pests and disease, any structural defects, and identify species of plants and trees present before writing their report. They’ll make written recommendations in the report, supported by photos and evidence. This will accompany your application and assist the council in its decision-making process. Consulting arborists may also use this report in case you need it for other purposes, such as dispute resolution or tree risk assessments. 

Tree trimming, pruning & removal

Tree trimming and pruning are necessary to maintain the health and safety of many trees. An arborist makes sure your trees are pruned or maintained in a way that enables them to flourish and grow afterward. Trees may be trimmed or pruned for safety reasons, or to ensure their long-term viability. If a tree is diseased or dying, tree removal may be the only option. Your arborist consultant will consider all factors before making a recommendation for removal with your tree workers.

Annual tree inspection

An annual tree inspection is a proactive way to ensure the safety and longevity of the trees in your garden. Your arborist will thoroughly inspect trees and vegetation on your property to identify current and preventable concerns. They will then provide guidelines for maintenance or an action plan to rectify any problems, so your garden can continue to thrive. Keep in mind that tree inspections are different from arborist reports - the latter provides more thorough documentation on tree management and maintenance.

Garden mapping

Garden mapping can be used in any garden but it’s especially useful for heritage-listed gardens. Your arborist will prepare a catalog that identifies species types and locations for each tree or shrub in your garden. You might use mapping to help manage your garden or plan future landscaping changes.

Sanding and painting of entry arbor in Tooowong

$300

Toowong QLD, Australia

8th Jan 2025

Hello, I am looking for an experienced painter with great attention to detail to re paint and entry arbor (just the blue section). The task will include setting up drop sheets and taping off areas that won’t be painted, sanding down the exisiting paint as it’s flaking. Wiping down the area, using an undercoat and then 2 top coats. I will supply the paint but ideally I’d like you to supply the sander, paint brush, tape, drop sheets and whatever else. I can bring a drop sheet and paint brush if needed. Let me know if it will be possible to get done in one day. The area is outside so if it’s raining we’d have to reschedule.

Daniel did a fantastic job painting an entry arbor. It was extremely hot but he got everything done and he did it well. I’d definitely recommend him. Thank you!

Arborist needed to cut down old 6m tree trunk

$200

Newmarket QLD 4051, Australia

11th Dec 2022

We have an old native tree that was trimmed about 10 years ago and has never grown back so now only the 6 metre trunk remains which we'd like cut down and is just a bit high for our ladders. We will remove the rubbish in our ute. If we could save the staghorn that would be awesome! We have cleared an area for chunks of the trunk to be thrown down to, so as not to crush the rest of our established gardens! Anyday this week ok but Thursday preferred.

AAA+++ for professional and reliable service! I can't recommend Mereki enough. We had a very difficult job with an old tree in an awkward position that required accuracy and patience to fell and Mereki was up for the task. He took his time to survey the whole property after discussing what our priorities were and kept our wishes to save precious garden at the forefront of his plan, while never compromising safety! He did an outstanding job and we are beyond pleased with the result. Thank you so very much!
