It was great to have Richard helps us with our trees. He’s very thoughtful about taking care of the trees as he cut them back, as well as the environment, including renewable energy tools. I really appreciate this. Communication was easy, he came when he said he would, the work was completed within the expected time, and everything was tidied at the end. We really appreciated he’s work.

What do arborist services include?

Arborists are often referred to as tree surgeons because of the intricate nature of their work and their focus on tree health when making recommendations. Using their industry experience, they consider all proposed outcomes and best practices before offering solutions or methods that are suitable for the situation. Whether it's for tree maintenance or management, here are some of the common you can expect when hiring arborists in your area:

Arborist report

An arborist report is usually needed to support council applications and development plans. The report may inform you about the tree species, health, safe useful life expectancy, and arboricultural rating. You might be applying to the council for development approval (DA) or for approval to remove trees from your property. This is important because removing trees can’t be done without council approval! 

Your arborist will check for pests and disease, any structural defects, and identify species of plants and trees present before writing their report. They’ll make written recommendations in the report, supported by photos and evidence. This will accompany your application and assist the council in its decision-making process. Consulting arborists may also use this report in case you need it for other purposes, such as dispute resolution or tree risk assessments. 

Tree trimming, pruning & removal

Tree trimming and pruning are necessary to maintain the health and safety of many trees. An arborist makes sure your trees are pruned or maintained in a way that enables them to flourish and grow afterward. Trees may be trimmed or pruned for safety reasons, or to ensure their long-term viability. If a tree is diseased or dying, tree removal may be the only option. Your arborist consultant will consider all factors before making a recommendation for removal with your tree workers.

Annual tree inspection

An annual tree inspection is a proactive way to ensure the safety and longevity of the trees in your garden. Your arborist will thoroughly inspect trees and vegetation on your property to identify current and preventable concerns. They will then provide guidelines for maintenance or an action plan to rectify any problems, so your garden can continue to thrive. Keep in mind that tree inspections are different from arborist reports - the latter provides more thorough documentation on tree management and maintenance.

Garden mapping

Garden mapping can be used in any garden but it’s especially useful for heritage-listed gardens. Your arborist will prepare a catalog that identifies species types and locations for each tree or shrub in your garden. You might use mapping to help manage your garden or plan future landscaping changes.

Need an arborist to trim and shape a maple tree

$200

Balwyn VIC, Australia

28th Feb 2022

I just re-post this as the old one was expired. I have a maple in my front garden that is in desperate need of trimming and shaping. The tree is appoxmately 4 - 5m tall. I need an experienced arborist to: 1) Trim and shape the tree to nice shape and layers. 2) Reduce the height (ideally to 3m) and control the size of the tree. 3) If you have a trailer to take all the green waste away that would be best; otherwise can you please cut the prunings and branches up to 1.5m in length sand I will then book council's bundled green waste collection. Please let me know how you will get the work done and your quote. I have also attached a few photos: The 3rd photo was my maple tree taken a few years ago when the maple was younger The 2nd photo was taken recently, you can see the tree grows too fast The 1st photo is not my tree and is just for your reference. I hope my maple can be shaped like this (doesn't have to same but hope it would create some layers) - Due date: Before Sunday, 20th Mar 2022

Larry did fantastic job. He was punctual, and very professional. He had excellent expertise and made sure I am satisfied before he moved onto the next task. He was able to make my maple tree into a very nice shape that I havent't seen in a few years. I would highly recommend Larry and will be in touch again.
