Request for Arborist Assessment for Overhanging Tree

$100

Box Hill North, Victoria

14th Jul 2026

We have a tree on our property with some branches extending over the boundary fence into our neighbour's property. About six months ago, the neighbour pruned some of the overhanging branches, and they have now requested to prune the tree again. Before any further pruning takes place, we would like an independent assessment from a qualified arborist. We understand that the Whitehorse City Council states that a permit is not required provided the pruning does not cause an imbalance to the canopy or remove 10% or more of the tree canopy: https://www.whitehorse.vic.gov.au/planning-building/do-i-need-permit/tree-removal-lopping-and-pruning/lopping-and-pruning/tree-growing-over-fence My concern is that the previous pruning may already have removed close to 10% of the canopy. I would like understand if they can do another round of the pruning, whether the tree is already unbalanced, or whether pruning the remaining overhanging branches would cause the canopy to become unbalanced or exceed the council's guidelines. We would appreciate your professional advice on whether any further pruning would remain within these guidelines and, if so, how much additional pruning could reasonably be carried out. If possible, I would like to get a written assessment or report outlining your recommendations, together with a quotation for the assessment and your earliest availability?

Arborist required to remove 1 tree limb overhanging rear lane (see photo mark up). We've already removed a number of smaller branches, but our pole saw won't reach this high.

Arborist Required – Reduce Overhanging Branches

$600

Ivanhoe VIC 3079, Australia

11th Jul 2026

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!

Montmorency VIC 3094, Australia

24th May 2026

Qualified arborist needed: powerline clearance pruning + 10 m tree cut down, timber left on site Front conifer/cypress-type tree (photo 1): We need to engage an arborist to prune the tree on our property to ensure powerline clearance.

Separate approximately 10 m tree (invasive species) to be cut down near to neighbours fence (photo 2). Trunk is less than 1 ft across. Most of the tree is already removed. No stump grinding required and timber/green waste can be left on site. Please only respond if you are a qualified and insured arborist.

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.
