Peter was so kind and approachable and when he found that the job was easier than expected, he did some additional work to ensure I received the full value of the job. All the bits that I thought I would complete myself - clearing other plants, topping up the soil, and planting the new saplings - are all done. So the task is complete! Thanks Peter!

Tharshi arrived punctually and worked efficiently to complete a big job in less than 2 hours. It was a challenging job, requiring access over a neighbours fence. He beautifully cleaned both my yard and the neighbour's side, of the green waste. Thanks Tharshi.

What does a tree removal service include?

Tree removalists are experienced in a range of services relating to removing and maintaining trees. Services they can help with include:

Tree removal

Need gum tree removal, palm tree removal, or another type of tree moved or removed? Tree removal is often considered a last resort in tree maintenance, and will usually only be done if other maintenance options aren’t suitable. A tree may need to be removed if it’s causing safety concerns, is diseased or dying, or causing damage to structures or underground pipes on your property. Your tree removalist may use a truck, a cherry picker, ladders, chainsaws, and even experienced tree climbers to help take the tree down and remove it from your yard.

Tree lopping

Tree lopping removes parts of a tree rather than removing the whole tree. In some cases, there may be large sections of the tree that have been damaged in a storm or bad weather. Or perhaps the tree is growing in a way that will obstruct power lines and other services. Most tree loppers will use a ladder, a chainsaw, and a pruning saw to remove the parts needed, before mulching or removing the leaves and branches. Note that it’s important to seek specialist advice and only hire an experienced tree lopper as incorrect tree lopping can cause an otherwise healthy tree to die. 

Pruning and maintenance

Gum trees and eucalyptus trees, as well as other tall trees often need pruning and maintenance to ensure they remain at a manageable and safe height. When they’re getting close to roofs and gutters (but especially power lines), it’s time to engage an expert to trim them. Trimming is also important to remove any diseased or dying branches to make sure they don’t fall and cause injury. Depending on the tree and branch size, your tree pruner will use either an electric chainsaw or a pruning saw, along with secateurs to trim back branches.

Stump grinding

Stump grinding is often required after a tree is removed to fully extract the stump or grind it lower than ground level. Your specialist will clear the area and move their stump grinding equipment into place before using the stump grinding blade to gradually bring the stump back below ground level. They’ll then cover it with soil. This is to ensure the tree won’t reshoot and grass can grow over it. Leaving a tree stump in the ground or untouched can attract termites and other pests. Plus, it will always sit in the way of landscaping attempts or leisure activities in your backyard.

I need a tight-access tree removed that is currently encroaching on my roof. What needs to be done: Cut down the tree: Safely remove it without damaging the roof tiles, gutters, or nearby fences. Tight access: The tree trunk is located down a narrow side path (see photos), so it requires manual tools/chainsaws, pruning tools, not heavy machinery. It not a very thick tree. Waste removal: Fully clean up and dispose of all green waste from the site. Requirements: Must bring your own ladders, ropes, saws, and safety gear. Must have experience working near roofs to prevent property damage. Timing: Flexible over the next week or so. Please reply with your availability and a quote. I will be on hand to assist. Some tree clippings can fit into the bin so Thursdays are the best day as bin is collected on Friday.

Great work very happy 😊

Looking for someone to remove a mature nectarine tree from my backyard. The tree is approximately 4–5 metres tall and has multiple large branches/stems. Access to the tree is relatively straightforward through the backyard. Job includes: •Cutting down the tree safely • Remove stump (either grinding or full removal) • Cutting all branches and trunk sections into manageable sizes. • Stacking/bundling all green waste neatly for collection. I will arrange a council green waste collection, so the waste does not need to be taken away. However, all branches and trunk sections must be cut to council requirements, of maximum 1 metre in length and 20 cm in diameter. Please bring your own equipment and include any relevant tree-removal experience in your offer.
