Qualified Arborist Needed – Selective Tree Pruning

$200

Beaumaris VIC 3193, Australia

16th Aug 2026

Looking for an experienced, qualified and insured arborist to selectively prune the mature tree at the front of our property in Bayside. The main issue is that possums regularly perch on branches directly above our front entrance and brick walkway, leaving significant droppings on the entrance and path every night. We do not want the tree heavily cut back or unnecessarily reduced. Based on the current canopy, we are looking for careful, targeted pruning, approximately 15–20% of the canopy, potentially up to 25% if appropriate and compliant, subject to the arborist’s assessment. Main objectives: • Prioritise branches extending toward/over the house, front entrance and walkway • Reduce suitable horizontal possum perching branches directly above the walkway • Create more open space above the entrance/path • Retain more of the canopy on the street side where possible • Maintain the tree’s health, structure and overall balance • Pruning must comply with Bayside Council requirements and relevant Australian Standards • Arborist to advise if any proposed work requires council approval before proceeding • Complete cleanup and removal of all branches/green waste Photos of the tree and entrance area are attached.

I’m looking for a qualified and insured arborist to carry out tree work at my home in Ivanhoe, VIC. The work required includes: * Prune the large deciduous tree to reduce the risk of branches overhanging the roof. * Remove any deadwood and reduce the weight of long limbs over the house while maintaining the tree’s natural shape (no excessive lopping). * Remove all green waste and leave the site tidy. Please include in your quote: * Confirmation that you are fully insured. * Whether council approval is required (if applicable). * Whether the quote includes waste removal * Your earliest availability. I’ve attached photos of the trees. Looking for someone experienced who will use proper arboricultural practices rather than simply cutting branches back aggressively. Thanks!

Arborist for vegetation removal

$10

Ringwood East, Victoria

27th Apr 2026

I want an Arborist to visit and advise which trees can be removed with or without Council’s approval especially in the backyard. This has to be a physical visit only. The idea is when trees have been removed then I can think of developing a Townhouse later in the backyard. If you can quote vegetation removal cost upon site visit that would be good as well. Your KPIs will be (a) determining which trees can be removed or not with or without Council’s approval (b) how many trees require approval.

Nigel has great knowledge on Planning aspects of redevelopment of a property. Perfect on communication and punctuality as well

Arborist to remove 2 trees

$300

Cheltenham VIC 3192, Australia

23rd Mar 2026

Need help to remove a small tree, fairly small, height is close to 1 storey roof, the tricky bit is it's between 2 electricity cables, only 1 branch left, minimal work. Need help to cut a second larger tree to ground level. Both are in the frontyard, easy access. Don't need to clean the green waste or worry about stump removal. Just cut to ground level is fine, just stack the branches in the frontyard, collecting these as firewood. Can chat through the details on arrival.

Overall, good job, efficient. You have to be very specific with the written task. You get what you pay for.
