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.

Hi all. About 6 months ago I chopped down and disposed of 4 clumps of bamboo. They are about 70x70cm in size. Now it's time to get the root balls out so I can re-use the space. Looking for someone with a narrow access stump grinder to come past and finish the job. I have 75cm access via garage, no steps etc etc I don't need anything disposed of or removed from the site, just grind these things out so I can re-use the space. Thanks heaps, Steve

Remove 4–5 small stumps and level soil for weed mat
$100
Glen Iris VIC, Australia
10th Dec 2025
I’m looking for someone to remove 4–5 small tree stumps in my backyard so I can install a level weed mat along the fence line. The stumps are already cut low but still rooted into the ground, and they’re preventing the area from sitting flat. The job includes: • Cutting each stump flush with or slightly below ground level • Removing or trimming any remaining small roots, shoots, or protrusions • Light digging around each stump if needed to properly shave them down • Leveling and smoothing the soil across the full strip so it’s ready for weed mat installation • Optional: taking away any small green waste (preferred but not essential) The area is easy to access, and the photos show the exact stumps that need attention. Most are small (hand-sized), but they’re firm enough to require proper tools. A reciprocating saw, pruning saw, or small chainsaw will make the job quick and clean. A mattock or small spade may be needed for shallow roots. Estimated time for someone with the right tools: 30–60 minutes. I’m flexible with timing—any time this week Location: Glen Iris Please only offer if you can bring your own tools and complete the job safely. Happy to answer any questions or send additional photos if needed.
Clean, efficient and did an amazing job! Great person!

* Reduce 1 x row height and sides of ornamental pears along rear property line down back to previous pruning points. * Reduce height and sides of 1 x row of ornamental pears along edge of pool. * Reduce height and clients side of 1 x row of ornamental pears along front garden right side. * Remove old possum nests. All machinery required and remove and mulch all clippings from the property.
Sadik was tasked with the job of trimming several rows of ornamental pair trees. Rather than just taking to these trees with a chainsaw, he showed great attention to detail climbing up through each tree cutting one branch at a time. After cleaning up and removing the green waste from site, the result looks amazing!
