Contacted The Tree Company for help - a tree had split near the base and was ready to fall! Brandon and partner were out the same day and safely removed the tree. Excellent service all round - friendly, courteous, professional, kept me updated, and left the property in a very clean state after removing the tree (better than previous tree services I had used). Thank you!

I used The Tree Company to remove fallen branches on my carport a few weeks ago. They cut the branches up (the branches were fairly big) and removed it all for me as well. Very efficient and reliable. I would use them again.

I recently had The Tree Company come out to prune 11 Manchurian Pear Trees and 1 Yellow Box Gum in my yard, and I couldn't be happier with their service. From start to finish, the entire experience was exceptional.The team arrived promptly at the scheduled time and were incredibly professional throughout the process. They took the time to understand exactly what I wanted and offered expert advice on the best way to achieve the desired results. Their knowledge and passion for tree care were evident.The pruning work they did was meticulous. The Manchurian Pear Trees and Gum now look beautifully shaped. They were careful to ensure that the trees' natural beauty was preserved while removing any dead or overgrown branches. The cleanup was thorough, leaving my yard spotless.What impressed me the most was their attention to detail and commitment to customer satisfaction. The team went through final check list to make sure I was thoroughly happy before finishing up. They were friendly, courteous, and clearly dedicated to providing top-notch service. I would highly recommend The Tree Company to anyone in need of tree care services.Thank you, The Tree Company

We were very happy with this company's tree cutting service. In their efforts to maneuver their gear around the easement grass area they did cause some divots. However they responded immediately and repaired the divots. We would certainly recommend The Tree Company.

I was very happy with the service and professionalism from The Tree Company when they removed a large Montery Cypress from my garden. Due to the proximity to HV lines and a fairly busy road, a power shutdown and traffic controls were also required, adding to the complexity. The Tree Company liaised with the relevant organisations and everything happened according to plan.The team were very professional, friendly and hard working. I also appreciated the clean up of my yard on completion of the job. Would recommend

We appreciate the excellent work carried out by your team members-Eddie, Michael & Jacob. We have a very healthy Southern Blue Gum & Black Peppermint Gum in the backyard. Although both have been maintained over the years, the recent storms that hit Melbourne led to two major healthy branches being torn away, one wedged between two lower branches, dangerously suspended above the garden. The team showed great attention to detail and care to avoid cut branches falling onto the garden during weight reduction. Maintaining the canopy and shape of the trees was a priority in their work. We will certainly refer The Tree Company to others.

I needed someone to come promptly to deal with a dead tree. The Tree Company had someone here to look at it the next day; and when the tree was removed soon after that, quickly and efficiently, I was able to relax again. They came right on time and were friendly and helpful to deal with, so I won't hesitate to contact them again if I have a tree problem in future.

The appointment was for 10.30 am and no one had arrived by 11.30am so I called the Tree Company who advised that the truck was full of mulch and needed emptying. The crew arrived at 11.45 then had lunch and then just after noon, said they could not remove the tree stump despite the job being previously physically assessed and quoted by the Boss. Another staff member arrived and after several more conversations the boss rang me and said he would not remove the stump. I then said I did not want to go ahead. The crew then left without further conversation with me . Very disappointed - the head man quotes for the job and the team say they cannot do it !

The Tree Company has just finished a job at our place and I'm jumping online to give a positive review straight away. Very smooth process from quoting to completion. The guys who did the job were great. Looks like an excellent job. Very reasonable price. Place was left clean. Also, council called us because a neighbour had complained and we told them it was The Tree Company doing the job. Council's response: "no issues, they will do a great job". Highly recommended!

We had the best experience with these guys! They were responsive, friendly, and professional. We had two trees taken out of our back yard and they were expertly removed and our yard was left looking perfectly clean and tidy. Would absolutely recommend this company and would use them again in future without hesitation.

Their truck hit my parked car and tried hard to avoid all the responsibilities. How can you trust the company like this to do the job?The funnest thing is the owner replied my review after one year saying they have lodge the insurance company. Is it that hard to stop lying?

Frequently Asked Questions

I want to lop, prune, remove or destroy a tree on my property. Am I allowed to do this?

Tree controls apply under various legislation across Victoria.  These may include Planning, Local Law and Heritage controls.  You may be required to obtain a permit to lop, prune, remove or destroy a tree on your property.  In some instances a permit may also be required to undertake buildings or works near a tree.  Contact us for Arboricultural advice and we can help assist with your permit needs or your local Council for the tree controls that apply to your property.

When should I remove a tree?

When it comes to deciding to remove a tree in Melbourne its best to seek advice from a qualified arborist.  Structural issues, such as large dead branches or an unstable root system, could pose safety risks, warranting removal for precaution. Trees significantly damaged by storms or lightning may become hazardous, and their removal becomes a priority. Persistent signs of poor health, obstruction of views, or alignment with landscaping plans are additional reasons to consider tree removal. Before making any decisions, it’s advisable to consult with a certified arborist to assess the tree’s condition and explore alternative solutions. Additionally, be aware of and adhere to local regulations and permits governing tree removal in your area.

I have spoken to my neighbour about their tree, but they refuse to do anything about the issue. What are my options?

Neighbours trees can be a nuisance in many ways such leaf litter, overhanging your property and even tree root damage to infrastructure, fencing and dwellings.  If this is occuring, the first thing you should do is discuss these issues with the owner of the tree.

You are however, allowed to prune a neighbouring tree, on your side only, as long as you do you not damage, kill or destroy the tree.  This includes the root system.  Please be advised that you may be allowed to prune the neighbouring tree but you should check with your local council what tree controls apply.

I believe a tree is causing damage to my property. What can I do?

Trees can be attributed to damaging individual structures, infrastructure and dwellings. In some instances trees maybe the obvious cause of the damage such as pavements being lifted by tree roots, pressures on fences and walls and even overhanging branches dropping leaf litter causing blockages to the gutters.

However, where you believe damage to a dwelling exists you should seek independent expert evidence from a structural and or geotechnical engineer.   An arborist can assist in determining whether damage from a tree is likely and can liaise with your engineers to come up with a solution.  This solution based on the evidence maybe tree removal, installation of root barriers if applicable and other Arboricultural solutions as necessary.

Are gum trees dangerous?

Gum trees (within the genius of Eucalyptus, Corymbia & Angophora)  are a dominant feature in Australian landscapes and comprise of 850 eucalypt species that vary in form and size. Generalisations about such a common and diverse group of trees,  are more often than not, misconceptions.   Regular maintenance, including pruning to reduce branch weight, bracing heavy overextended stems and or branches, monitoring for pest and disease infestation or poor structure, can help ensure the safety of gum trees on your property. Consulting with an arborist is advisable to assess the specific risks associated with your gum trees and determine appropriate measures to enhance their safety.  Planting suitable trees on your property is key, if size is an issue there are plenty of stunning dwarf Eucalyptus varieties available.
