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, damaged by coastal winds, or no longer fits your landscape, we provide safe, efficient removal services. We specialize in dismantling large trees in both residential and rural 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 strict standards, we prevent the damage caused by “lopping” and keep your coastal 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 on your property.
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 completely clear your site and remove all debris. We leave your property clean, tidy, and completely free of green waste.
Whenever possible, we aim to balance property safety with the Surf Coast’s rich local biodiversity. If a tree needs to be reduced but the trunk remains 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 vital home for local wildlife.
Navigating local council overlays requires professional expertise and local knowledge. 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 coastal block for construction or managing bushfire risks on a hinterland property, we provide comprehensive land clearing services. We efficiently remove trees, undergrowth, and debris to get your site completely ready for its next stage. Our team works safely and efficiently to help you meet Surf Coast Shire regulations and Bushfire Management Overlays.
Yuccas and palms are popular in coastal gardens, 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 your garden for better use.
A well-maintained hedge is essential for property privacy and acting as a protective windbreak against coastal breezes. Our professional hedge shaping and trimming services keep your boundary plantings dense, healthy, and perfectly structured. From small residential privacy screens to large rural windbreaks, we ensure your hedges look immaculate while promoting healthy future growth.

Anglesea is a high-risk bushfire zone. We offer canopy separation and undergrowth clearing to meet CFA guidelines and improve your property’s safety.
Yes. Anglesea places high value on its heathland and native trees. We can help you navigate council applications for Tree Removal if a tree is dangerous or within the 10/30 rule.
Yes. This is very common in Anglesea. As long as we have access to the property, we can assess, quote, and complete the job while you are back in the city, sending you photo updates of the completed work.
Yes. Old pines can be a hazard in Anglesea. We dismantle them safely and can chip the wood on-site for Mulch or remove it entirely.
It’s removing smaller branches throughout the canopy to reduce wind resistance. This is crucial in Anglesea to stop trees from snapping during coastal gales.
Often, exemptions apply (like the 10/30 rule), but not always. We can provide an Arborist Report or consultation to confirm if your tree removal falls under bushfire exemptions or requires a standard permit.
