Tree Surgeons Services
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.

Qualified Arborist Needed – Selective Tree Pruning
$200
Beaumaris VIC 3193, Australia
16th Aug 2026
Looking for an experienced, qualified and insured arborist to selectively prune the mature tree at the front of our property in Bayside. The main issue is that possums regularly perch on branches directly above our front entrance and brick walkway, leaving significant droppings on the entrance and path every night. We do not want the tree heavily cut back or unnecessarily reduced. Based on the current canopy, we are looking for careful, targeted pruning, approximately 15–20% of the canopy, potentially up to 25% if appropriate and compliant, subject to the arborist’s assessment. Main objectives: • Prioritise branches extending toward/over the house, front entrance and walkway • Reduce suitable horizontal possum perching branches directly above the walkway • Create more open space above the entrance/path • Retain more of the canopy on the street side where possible • Maintain the tree’s health, structure and overall balance • Pruning must comply with Bayside Council requirements and relevant Australian Standards • Arborist to advise if any proposed work requires council approval before proceeding • Complete cleanup and removal of all branches/green waste Photos of the tree and entrance area are attached.

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.
