What We Do
In the rural setting of Moriac, large trees are a staple of the landscape but can become a liability when they age or suffer storm damage. We provide safe and efficient removal of hazardous trees, particularly those near farm infrastructure, powerlines, or dwellings. Our team is equipped to handle the heavy lifting required for rural tree dismantling.
We maintain the health and safety of your trees according to Australian Standards (AS4373-2007). Our pruning services in Moriac often focus on clearing fence lines, improving driveway access for machinery, and removing deadwood. Proper pruning ensures your trees continue to provide vital shelter for livestock without becoming a safety risk.
Old stumps can interfere with slashing and paddock maintenance. We use powerful grinding equipment to remove stumps well below the surface, allowing you to level your ground for new fencing or pasture. This is a practical solution for reclaiming land and preventing regrowth from invasive species.
If you have been cleaning up your property and have piles of branches or trees you’ve felled yourself, we can clear the mess. Our high-capacity chippers process large volumes of timber and green waste quickly. We haul everything away, leaving your Moriac property tidy and free of debris.
Moriac’s trees are vital for local birds and mammals. If a tree requires a reduction in height for safety but is otherwise sound, we can create custom habitat hollows. This allows you to manage the potential risk of the tree while maintaining its role as a home for native wildlife on your land.
When managing large rural blocks or planning new structures, expert advice is essential. Our Level 5 Arborists provide technical reports for hazard assessments and planning permits. A Level 5 Arborist report is the industry benchmark, ensuring your documentation is professional and compliant with local council requirements.
Whether you are preparing a new acreage block for construction or managing severe bushfire risks on a large farming 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 frequently found around rural homesteads, 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 across open farmland. Our professional hedge shaping and trimming services keep the client’s boundary plantings dense, healthy, and perfectly structured. From small residential screens to massive agricultural windbreaks, we ensure the client’s hedges look immaculate while promoting healthy future growth.

Common-Area Tree Management
Yes, we service the entire rural hinterland. We bring all necessary equipment with us to complete the job in one go.
We can carefully dismantle trees that have grown into or fallen onto fences, minimizing further damage to your infrastructure.
Often, yes. If we are working in the area, we can sometimes deliver truckloads of Mulch. Ask us about availability when you book.
If you have locked gates or livestock, yes. Otherwise, if access is open, we can perform the work and invoice you afterwards.
We use high-access equipment or climbers to remove dangerous hanging limbs from tall mature trees, making the area safe for livestock and people.
Native vegetation on rural land is still protected. We can provide an Arborist Report to determine if the tree is exempt (e.g., for fence lines or personal safety) or if a permit is needed.
Happy to recommend Ocean Road Tree Services! Campbell and his team took down an ENORMOUS tree on our property. Campbell was responsive, prompt and friendly from the get-go. I also appreciate that Campbell made a point of double-checking we were clear on the details of the work being quoted / undertaken. Very competitive pricing, and very obliging when it came to liaising with neighbours to ensure our project went smoothly.

Recently had a massive pine removed. My neighbour and I agreed to have the job done by ORTS and we couldn’t be happier. No hiccups even though the pine was massive. Flexible in terms of scope to meet our budget. Would recommend and will use again! Paul

Campbell was great. We made a time for him to come on site and do the quote. Campbell was on time, talked us through what the job would involve, options to alter the price. We set a date for him to do the job. He and his crew turned up on time, did the job safely and professionally and left the place looking great. A big recommendation for Campbell and his crew.
