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.

Remove Fig Tree Stump and Roots Beside Artificial Pond

$120

Kew VIC 3101, Australia

18th Aug 2026

Title: Remove Fig Tree Stump and Roots Beside Artificial Pond I need an experienced arborist, gardener or stump-removal specialist to safely remove a fig tree stump and its root system located beside an artificial pond and very close to an exterior wall. The fig tree may have grown accidentally from a seed several years ago while the property was rented out. The stump and roots are now established in a confined space between the pond and the wall. Scope of work: * Inspect the stump and root system before starting * Carefully cut the stump and roots into smaller sections as required * Completely remove as much of the stump and root system as reasonably possible * Avoid damaging the artificial pond, pond liner/waterproofing, nearby wall, paving and surrounding structures * Prevent unnecessary debris from falling into the pond * Remove and dispose of all cut roots, timber and green waste * Leave the work area clean and tidy The working space may be restricted, so suitable compact tools or specialist stump-removal equipment may be required. A large stump grinder may not fit the area. Please provide your own tools and equipment. Applicants should have previous experience with fig-tree roots or stump removal near structures. Please explain your proposed removal method and confirm whether green-waste disposal is included in your offer. Location: Kew, Victoria
