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.

Removal of stumps - 2 x palm stumps + 7 x yucca stumps

$350

Cumberland Park SA 5041, Australia

8th Apr 2025

We have 2 x palms and 7 x yuccas that were lopped / chopped down almost 12 months ago. The stumps were poisoned and we were told to leave them for about minimum of 9 months before having them ground / removed. The yuccas have been sprouting again during the last couple of months. The palms and 5 of the yucca stumps are in a raised bed which is open on one side (used to be a fence there - since removed). Along the boundary fence are a two larger yucca stumps - need to be careful not to damage an above ground PVC rainwater pipe. We’re looking to get all of the stumps ground /removed to ground level. In future we’re planning to reduce the size of the raised bed so this might determine how those stumps need to be removed. Photos and plan attached - please let me know if you need more information… It would be great to get this completed during the school holidays. Thanks 😃

Daniel was prompt, reliable and did a great job removing our yucca and palm stumps. Also gave us some suggestions for a replacement raised bed… Happy to recommend Daniel to anyone needing similar work done. Thanks Daniel 🤩
