What We Do
A tree that was once a source of shade and habitat can eventually become a threat to the client’s property or simply outgrow its location. Whether a tree is structurally unsound, damaged by heavy Otway storms, or no longer fits the landscape, we provide safe, efficient removal services. We specialize in dismantling large trees in steep, heavily wooded coastal areas, ensuring the client’s home and assets are fully protected.
All our work is carried out to Australian Standards (AS4373-2007: Pruning of Amenity Trees), ensuring the long-term health and structure of the client’s trees. We focus on weight reduction to prevent limb failure during intense coastal weather and canopy thinning to improve light. By following these strict standards, we prevent the damage caused by “lopping” and help the client’s native trees stay safe and healthy.
Leaving a stump behind can create trip hazards and attract pests to the client’s property. We use powerful grinding equipment to remove stumps well below ground level, allowing you to reclaim the space for new planting, turf, or construction. It is the cleanest way to finish a tree removal and prevent any future regrowth in the client’s bushland garden.
If you have trees or large piles of green waste that you have cut down yourself and need gone, we can help reduce your property’s fire load. Our high-capacity wood chippers make quick work of branches and timber, allowing us to completely clear the site and remove all debris. We leave the client’s Moggs Creek property clean, tidy, and completely free of green waste.
Whenever possible, we aim to balance property safety with Moggs Creek’s highly sensitive Otway biodiversity. If a tree needs to be reduced but the trunk remains stable, we can create custom habitat hollows for native birds, gliders, and possums. This allows you to manage the risk of the tree while still providing a vital home for local wildlife in the native scrub.
Navigating local council overlays in a protected area bordering a National Park requires professional expertise. Our Level 5 Arborists provide comprehensive reports for planning permits, insurance claims, and hazard assessments. A Level 5 Arborist report offers the highest standard of technical detail, giving you the best chance of a smooth approval process with the Surf Coast Shire.
Whether you are preparing a new steep block for construction or managing severe bushfire risks on a heavily wooded property, we provide comprehensive land clearing services. We efficiently remove trees, undergrowth, and debris to get the site completely ready for its next stage. Our team works safely to help you meet strict Surf Coast Shire regulations and Bushfire Management Overlays.
Yuccas and palms are common in older coastal landscaping, but they can quickly become overgrown, drop messy fronds, or develop invasive root systems. Because these plants are incredibly heavy and fibrous, they require specialized equipment to handle safely. We offer fast, efficient removal of these tricky plants and their stubborn stumps, opening up the client’s property for better use.
A well-maintained hedge is essential for property privacy and acting as a protective windbreak against Great Ocean Road breezes. Our professional hedge shaping and trimming services keep the client’s boundary plantings dense, healthy, and perfectly structured. From small residential screens to larger windbreaks, we ensure the client’s hedges look immaculate while promoting healthy growth.

Moggs Creek
I used Campbell in December 2024 to do some work on my trees in Moggs Creek. He was quick to provide a quote and then did the work very efficiently only a week or so later. His whole team were courteous and professional and they did a great job clearing up afterwards. I will use them again next time and have no hesitation in recommending them to others.
