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.

Tree Pruning – 2 Bradford Pear Trees (Front Yard)

$200

Burwood VIC 3125, Australia

27th Jul 2026

I’m looking for someone to prune two ornamental Bradford Pear trees in my front yard. The trees are approximately 5 metres or taller. I would like the upper branches pruned to reduce the overall height and size of the trees and tidy their appearance. Scope of work: * Prune both Bradford Pear trees. * Remove the upper branches to reduce the height and overall size of the trees. * Cut all removed branches into approximately 1.5 metre lengths so they can be placed out for council hard rubbish collection. * No green waste removal is required – all cut branches will remain on site. * Easy access from the front yard. * No stump removal or any other gardening work is required. * Photos are attached for reference. Please provide your quote, availability and any relevant tree pruning experience. Type of gardening: Other Size of garden: Under 50m² Has green waste bin: Yes

Excellent work pruning our trees exactly as requested. It was a wet day but he turned up and did amazing work. He was punctual, professional, and left everything neat and tidy, including cutting the branches into manageable sizes. Highly recommended and would happily hire him again.

Trim my palm tree

$300

Canterbury VIC 3126, Australia

25th Jul 2026

I’m looking for an experienced tree lopper/arborist to prune the large palm tree shown in the attached photo. The work includes: * Remove all dead, dry and hanging fronds. * Remove seed pods and any loose material. * Carry out a substantial aesthetic cut-back, removing several additional layers of healthy green fronds so that only the upper crown remains (similar to the neat, heavily-pruned appearance commonly seen on mature Canary Island date palms). * Shape the tree evenly from all sides to give it a clean, symmetrical appearance. * Take care not to damage the trunk, surrounding fence, lawn or pool area. * Remove all green waste from site and leave the area clean. Important: I’m after a fairly aggressive cosmetic prune, not just the removal of dead fronds. Please only quote if you’re experienced with pruning mature palms and understand the style of cut I’m referring to. The final result should leave only the top few layers of healthy fronds while maintaining the tree’s health. Please include: * Your experience with palm pruning. * Photos of similar work you’ve completed. * Confirmation that all waste removal is included in your quote. It’s a tall tree - you must have necessary insurance and quals to perform this work. Cash on completion
