Acorn Tree Services

Acorn Tree Services is a Geelong based tree company run by two climbing arborists, Jasper Boyd and Tristan Brown, who each have around 20 years in the arboriculture and forestry industry. Between them they hold arboriculture qualifications from both the UK and Australia, including a Cert IV in Arboriculture, and they still do the climbing themselves rather than sending someone else up the tree. The business is fully qualified, insured and hands on, covering Geelong and out across the region.

Their tree removal work leans on proper rigging and advanced rope techniques, which is what lets a big tree come down in sections in a tight backyard instead of being dropped in one go. Where a tree is coming out for good, stump removal and grinding follows, using a stump grinder to take the stump out below ground level so the spot can be replanted, turfed or built over without an old stump in the way.

Tree pruning and hedging is done to Australian Standard AS 4373:2007, covering formative pruning, deadwood removal, weight reduction, crown reduction and pruning to let more light through. For trees worth keeping but structurally weak, they install cable and bracing systems, using the Cobra cable setup to support stems that might otherwise split, and they fit possum guards to protect established trees from ringbarking.

When a tree or a limb comes down without warning, Acorn Tree Services is on call 24/7 for emergency work, which matters in a part of the state that cops its share of storms and strong coastal winds. Nothing gets wasted on the way out either: green waste is run through the chipper for mulch sales, and they also sell seasoned firewood delivered to the door.

Acorn Tree Services covers Geelong, the Bellarine Peninsula, the Surf Coast, the Golden Plains and the Melbourne metro suburbs. With two experienced arborists on the tools, work pruned to standard and a round the clock line for storm damage, they cover the full range from a one off prune to a full removal.
