What We Do
In Anglesea, managing vegetation is a critical part of property safety. Whether a tree is dead, dangerous, or poses a significant fire risk to your home, we provide expert removal services. We specialize in safely dismantling trees in high-risk zones, ensuring your assets are protected while adhering to local safety requirements.
We provide professional pruning in line with Australian Standards (AS4373-2007) to improve the health and safety of your trees. In Anglesea, this often involves lifting canopies and removing lower “ladder fuels” to reduce bushfire risk. Our pruning ensures your trees remain beautiful and structurally sound without compromising your property’s safety.
Old stumps can be a major hindrance to property maintenance and fire-ready landscaping. Our powerful grinding equipment removes stumps well below ground level, allowing you to reclaim your yard for new planting or clear, maintainable space. This process eliminates trip hazards and prevents any unwanted regrowth.
Keeping your property clear of fuel loads is essential in the Anglesea area. If you have felled trees yourself or have accumulated piles of green waste, we can help. We bring high-capacity chippers to your site to process and remove all debris, leaving your property clean, tidy, and fire-compliant.
Anglesea is home to unique native wildlife, and we strive to preserve that balance. If a tree needs to be reduced for safety but the main trunk is stable, we can create custom habitat hollows. This provides vital nesting spots for local species while allowing you to manage the potential risks on your block.
Most properties in Anglesea are subject to strict bushfire and vegetation overlays. Our Level 5 Arborists provide the high-level technical reports required for planning permits, 10/30 or 10/50 bushfire exemptions, and hazard assessments. A Level 5 Arborist report is the industry standard for ensuring your council applications are accurate and professional.
Whether you are preparing a site for a new build or reducing fire hazards on a rural property, we provide efficient block and land clearing services. We use high-capacity machinery to remove invasive scrub, hazardous trees, and old stumps quickly and safely. Our focus is on providing a clean, level slate for your construction project while ensuring all work complies with local environmental and council requirements.
We specialize in the safe removal of overgrown Yuccas and Palms, which are notoriously heavy and difficult to dispose of. Our team handles everything from cutting down these messy species to grinding the stumps, ensuring they don’t grow back. We’ll leave your yard clean and tidy, removing all debris so you can reclaim your outdoor space and move forward with your landscaping plans.
From small residential hedges to massive rural windbreaks, our precision hedge trimming services keep your property looking sharp and well-maintained. We don’t just cut for height; we focus on the health of the plant, using expert techniques to encourage thick, even growth. Regular maintenance from our team ensures your hedges provide maximum privacy and curb appeal throughout every season.

Cam and his young team did an excellent job,at my house in Anglesea, even high Eucalyptus branches hanging over the fence (and they cleaned up afterwards). Each member of his team was polite and sociable. I would recommend them.

Complete pleasure in all ways, Campbell was great with his help and advice, in the end we didn’t need to trim any native gums of which we have about 40. With his direction we had 12 non native plants removed and have used the mulch for our garden. As Campbell said he is not into getting rid of or cutting branches off unless 100 % necessary.
His workmen were great and completed the job without fuss, top job would recommend Ocean Toad Tree Services to anybody who needed help in making decisions about trees in their yard.
