What do tree surgeon services include?

From supplying oxygen to absorbing rainwater, trees offer countless benefits. But it’s always a two-way relationship—trees can’t give us what we need when they’re sick or worse, dead. 


Good thing there’s a pool of tree surgeons in Airtasker who can do the dirty work and handle dangerous processes for us. The tree size, condition, species and location help the expert on reaching the right solution. Expect them to do pruning, lopping, trimming, and more. Specialists in tree maintenance near you perform these tasks by sophisticated climbing at great heights and rigging techniques. 


Keeping your landscape in good shape by exploring these services:


Tree felling and removal

Diseased, dead, or unsafe? If your trees meet the criteria, felling is the way to go. The process involves cutting the trees down to prevent diseases from spreading to surrounding trees, moreover boosting safety in the area. Some clients also request tree felling for aesthetic purposes.


Meanwhile, tree removal means the roots, stumps, fallen branches, and the entire tree get removed.


Felling or removing a tree is a dangerous task involving specialised equipment, so it’s a must to hire a knowledgeable tree surgeon for this. For extra peace of mind, you can also book an arborist to work side-by-side with your tree surgeon, as they are trained to diagnose trees and recommend safe solutions.


Tree pruning, cutting, lopping or trimming

If diseased or dead wood is present, the tree surgeon will need to remove them, which is what pruning is about. It also boosts the growth of fruit and flower buds.


Meanwhile, tree lopping or trimming effectively modifies a tree’s shape. This is done by cutting branches and training them to grow in a specific direction. It is often focused on aesthetics. If this is not properly maintained, branches can become unwieldy, growing in various directions.


Your Tasker may also do crown thinning on a tree. This consists of removing select branches to increase light penetration and reduce crown weight. 


Overall, pruning, lopping, and cutting stimulate and control growth in trees.


  • Stump removal

A tree surgeon near you can also grind down and remove unsightly or bulky stumps. This process may demand a specialised stump grinding machine, which can completely destroy the tree’s stump and root system.


  • Tree pollarding

Have you ever encountered the term “lollipop trees”? They are the result of pollarding with the purpose of aesthetics. 


Apart from that, though, tree pollarding keeps a tree from outgrowing its bounds on a private landscape, or even encroaching electrical wires. Whether placed in streets, parks, or small spaces, trees can be compact. Once you pollard a tree, you’ll have to repeat the process every year or two throughout the tree’s life. This means you may need constant landscaping or gardening maintenance.

Backyard Clearing & Tree removal

$1,500

Footscray VIC 3011, Australia

19th Feb 2026

I have an overgrown backyard that’s got a heap of junk in it & i would like to clear all of it, including the trees. I’m happy to do this in parts or if someone can do all of it in one go, that would be great. I need: 1. clearing of overgrown weeds. garden is in two sides: Right is about 6.0x4.0m and Left is about 5.0x4.0m and then there’s a little strip adjacent to the shed that’s about 3.0x1.0m. All of it needs to be cleared of weeds & then treat the soil to get rid of the weeds completely because they just keep coming back and i want to start over. 2. there are two rather large olive trees (one on each side) that i would like to remove completely. also, on the right, there are little stumpy trees that i would like to remove as well. there is a fig tree adjacent to the shed that’s will stay but all other trees need to go. There is also a large branch that blew into my yard during a storm that needs removal. 3. there is a makeshift wooden structure between the two sheds that i would like to be completely dismantled and removed. 4. there is hard rubbish to be removed. a pile of artificial grass strips, a compost barrel (full), the removed weeds, and some outdoor furniture, an old bbq, a kids table. (I have not provided photos, but can do so if requested) Type of gardening: Weeding, Other, Garden cleanup, Whipper snipping Size of garden: Under 50m² Has green waste bin: Yes

Excellent service from start to finish. The garden was heavily overgrown, but Sefa handled everything efficiently — tree cutting, full clean-up, and complete green waste removal. He left the site spotless and even provided helpful landscaping advice for future improvements. Very professional operator.

Remove stump and hedge

$500

Werribee VIC 3030, Australia

1st Feb 2026

Remove a stump that appears to be from an old pot plant. Remove a hedge that is 2.5m tall by 2.7 m wide. See pictures for what the plants look like. I would like all the chopped up wood/branches/leaves to be left in a pile in the garden for use as mulch/compostable material. (The reason why I need these removed is so that I can dig the garden bed dirt out level with the concrete so that another contractor can install a sliding gate that will retract behind the fence in this location, but it needs clearance)

Great job removing the plants I needed removed. Very neat and tidy.
