What We Do
A tree that was once a source of shade and habitat can eventually become a threat to your property or simply outgrow its location. Whether a tree is structurally unsound or no longer fits your landscape, we provide a safe, efficient removal service. We specialize in dismantling large trees in residential areas, ensuring your 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 your trees. We focus on weight reduction to prevent limb failure and canopy thinning to improve light. By following these standards, we prevent the damage caused by “lopping” and keep your trees safe and healthy.
Leaving a stump behind can create trip hazards and attract pests to your 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.
If you have trees or large piles of green waste that you have cut down yourself and need gone, we can help. Our high-capacity wood chippers make quick work of branches and timber, allowing us to clear your site and remove all debris completely. We leave your property clean, tidy, and free of green waste.
Whenever possible, we aim to balance property safety with local biodiversity. If a tree needs to be reduced but the trunk is stable, we can create custom habitat hollows for native birds and possums. This allows you to manage the risk of the tree while still providing a home for local wildlife.
Navigating local council overlays 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 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.

Common-Area Tree Management
Yes. We specialize in removing large, multi-stemmed Yuccas and Palms that are pushing over fences or retaining walls. We dig out the root ball completely to stop them from growing back.
Absolutely. Ocean Grove sees a lot of development; we can clear blocks of vegetation, including stumps, to prepare the site for construction or landscaping. Contact us for a site-clearing quote.
It depends. The City of Greater Geelong has strict rules for native trees and some large canopy trees. Our qualified arborists can inspect your tree and let you know if a permit or Arborist Report is required before removal.

Cam and his crew did an excellent job removing a tree and grinding numerous stumps. They were prompt in both quoting and completing the job at a very competitive price. They were efficient, neat and tidy. Would not hesitate in recommending them.
