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.

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.
