Tree and branch removal in Melbourne's west

We take out small trees and cut back overgrown limbs across Melbourne's western suburbs. Branches over a roof, a driveway or a neighbour's fence, a self-sown tree in the wrong spot, or a dead one that needs to come down before it drops something. It gets cut up and taken away in the same visit.

What we take on

Small trees we can take down safely from the ground or off a ladder. Limbs hanging over a roof, a carport, a driveway or a boundary fence. Self-sown trees that have come up against a fence line or a wall, which is most of what we get called about. Dead or half-dead trees in a backyard before they drop a limb on something.

We cut it up on site, load it and take it away. The yard is clean before we leave.

What we send to an arborist

Anything big, anything over a power line, anything that needs climbing or a crane, and anything protected by a council overlay. We are a mowing and garden business with the gear for small tree work, not an arborist outfit, and saying so is cheaper for you than us having a crack at it.

If it is one of those we will tell you on the spot and you can get the right trade in. It costs us the job. It is still the right answer.

Council permits

A lot of councils out this way protect trees over a certain height or trunk size, and some streets have a vegetation overlay on the whole block. Taking one out without a permit can mean a serious fine, and it lands on you as the owner, not on us.

So if there is any doubt about the size of a tree we will say to check with your council before we book it in. It is a phone call and it takes a few minutes.

What you get

  • Small trees taken down from the ground
  • Limbs over roofs, drives and fences
  • Self-sown trees along fence lines
  • Dead trees cleared before they drop
  • Cut up and taken away same visit
  • Told straight when it needs an arborist

Tree Removal questions

How big a tree can you take out?

Small trees we can drop safely from the ground or a ladder. Anything that needs climbing, a crane, or sits over a power line goes to an arborist and we will tell you that rather than attempt it.

Do I need a council permit?

Possibly. A lot of councils in Melbourne's west protect trees over a certain height or trunk size, and some streets sit under a vegetation overlay. Worth a quick call to your council before we book it, because the fine lands on the owner.

Do you remove the stump?

We cut it as low as we can get it. Full stump grinding needs a different machine, so we point you at someone for that.

Always messages the day before and does a fantastic job mowing, edging and cleaning up afterwards. If anything else needs doing round the garden Mitch always has time to do it.

The neighbour's property manager sent Mitch and his team to trim a tree which was impacting our property. He rang when he was on his way, did a great job and left our garden spick and span. Thanks!

Mitch goes above and beyond every single time. Reliable, professional, and incredibly thorough. Our lawn has never looked better. Edges sharp, weeds gone, everything left spotless. He turns up when he says he will, communicates clearly, and delivers top-quality results without fail.
