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.

Cut & remove seed pods from 4 Queen Palms (no tree removal)

$400

Ormond VIC, Australia

2nd Jun 2026

I have 4 Queen Palms (approx 5–6m tall) and just need the seed pods / fruit clusters cut off and taken away — NOT the trees removed, and not a full crown trim. Just the pods. ⚠️ There are power lines running near the palms, so I need someone properly equipped (pole saw, cherry picker, or a qualified climber) with their own gear and insurance. Please remove all cut pods and clean up afterwards. Photos attached (pods circled in red). Happy to take quotes — let me know your price and what equipment you'd use.

Extremely professional from start to finish. Not only did they complete the job to a high standard, they also took the initiative to clear up the extra dead tree branches for us. Everything was cleaned up thoroughly before they left — the site was spotless. Couldn’t be happier with the service. Highly recommended!

Remove stumps and roots

$250

Beaumaris VIC 3193, Australia

12th Sep 2026

I need the stumps and roots (in immediate vicinity of the stumps, so I can plant other things) removed of these three palm trees, which were cut six months ago. They are in a relatively narrow space of 1m by 3m, so too narrow for a machine and therefore need manual work. The soil has small rocks in it. There are two types of palm as you can see - those two furthest away have roots close to the surface and seem relatively dry and easy, the one closest is a different type and is very solid and still holds a lot of water. Flexible with timing, but prefer work done by September 20
