Arborist Marcus

Don't tip it, chip it. That's been the line here for the 25 years and more Arborist Marcus has been going, and the chipper is the machine that decides how a job ends: what comes off your place goes through it and comes back out as garden mulch. We sell that mulch on at budget prices and we donate plenty of it as well. We're a traditional family tree services business, based at Burwood and servicing Melbourne from there.

Stump removal is where the gear has to be right, and we have the capability for the difficult and confined spaces a big machine will never get into. Tree cutting and felling covers the straightforward drops and the ones with nowhere to put the tree, and branch lopping brings an overgrown canopy back to a size the garden can carry. Some trees are dead, dying or dangerous, overhanging a roof and cutting the light out; others have simply grown too large and are cracking paths and walls, blocking drains, or encroaching into next door's property or out of it. Either way, we inspect and assess it carefully and give you our advice before anything starts.

On the maintenance side there's tree pruning, hedge trimming and crown reduction, plus tree shaping where the job is as much about how a tree sits in the garden as how it grows. We'll clean out your gutters while the ladders are up. And not every good log deserves the chipper, which is why we run a timber furniture and milling service and turn the better ones into something you keep.

Our crew are qualified arborists, tree climbers and skilled tree technicians, and we hold full public liability insurance and full critical injury insurance. We work as a government contractor across residential and commercial property, taking in golf courses, schools and universities, hospitals and residential homes, and parks and gardens. Insurance work is on the list too, and we'll assist with council permits and the legal side where a tree comes with one attached. Storm damage, flood damage, fires and other natural disasters are what our 24 hour, seven day emergency service exists for.

Mainly we work the eastern suburbs of Melbourne, and sometimes beyond them, taking in Box Hill North, Blackburn South, Nunawading, Surrey Hills, Mitcham, Burwood East, Forest Hills, Mont Albert North, Balwyn North, Canterbury, Templestowe Lower and Clayton. Beyond the tree work there's a team of 70 available for lawn mowing, rubbish removal, landscaping, paving and mulch delivered at budget prices, so tidying up around a tree job is rarely a problem. The phone and the SMS both come straight to Marcus, so ring or text for a free, no obligation quote, or just to ask the question.
