What areas do you service?

Question 2

Are you a qualified and insured arborist?

Accepted Answer

Yes, absolutely. This is crucial for your peace of mind. Our team consists of fully qualified arborists who are trained in the latest safety protocols and tree care techniques. We are also fully insured (Public Liability and WorkCover), protecting your property and our staff throughout every stage of the job.

Question 3

Do I need a council permit for tree removal?

Accepted Answer

It depends on your location and the specific tree. Both the Surf Coast Shire and the City of Greater Geelong have regulations regarding the removal of significant trees, particularly native species. We strongly advise checking your local council's website first. If you require documentation for a permit application, we can provide professional arborist reports to assess the tree's health and risk.

Question 4

How much will my tree removal or pruning job cost?

Accepted Answer

The cost of tree work varies depending on several key factors, including the tree's size, species, location, accessibility, and the complexity of the job. To provide an accurate price, we offer a free, no-obligation quote where our arborist will visit your property to perform a full assessment and discuss the safest, most effective options with you.

Question 5

What is stump grinding and how does it work?

Accepted Answer

Stump grinding is the most efficient method for stump removal. We use a powerful, specialised machine to grind the tree stump and its major roots into small wood chips, taking it down below the ground level. This process eliminates a trip hazard, prevents pest infestations (like termites), and allows you to replant, pave, or lay new turf over the area.

Question 6

Do you offer emergency tree services?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we do. Our coastal weather can be unpredictable, and storms can cause significant damage. We provide rapid-response emergency tree services for urgent situations, such as fallen trees, broken limbs overhanging homes, or storm damage that poses an immediate risk. Call us for prompt and safe assistance.

Question 7

What is the difference between an arborist and a "tree lopper"?

Accepted Answer

A qualified arborist is a trained specialist in the science and art of tree care. We understand tree biology, health, and structure, and we perform pruning to Australian Standards (AS 4373-2007) to improve a tree's health and longevity. "Tree lopping" often involves indiscriminate cutting that can damage the tree and create future hazards. For professional, long-term tree health and safety, always
