ARK Arborists

Based in Montrose, in the foothills of the Dandenong Ranges, ARK Arborists is a Melbourne tree services business run by qualified, fully insured arborists working across the city's outer east and the Yarra Valley. The team keeps its pitch simple, fast, friendly and reliable tree work, and backs it with the promise that counts most when a tree fails without warning: when storms strike or trees become hazardous, the crew is ready 24/7 to respond fast.

Tree removal covers trees that have grown too large for their space, died back or turned unsafe, taken down cleanly whether they sit in an open paddock or tight against a house. Tree pruning keeps canopies healthy and well shaped, lifting branches clear of roofs and powerlines and thinning growth to let in light. Once a tree is gone, stump removal takes out the stump and roots so the ground can be planted, paved or built on.

Where the business really leans in is emergency tree services. When a storm rolls through, ARK Arborists handles fallen tree removal, dangerous limb removal and storm damage clean up, along with hazard assessment and make-safe work to get a property secure again quickly. For trees that are staying put, ongoing tree maintenance keeps them healthy and structurally sound between visits.

Every job is carried out by a trained and experienced team that is fully insured, and the focus throughout is on getting the work done safely and keeping owners informed about what is happening and why. Hazards are assessed properly before any cutting starts, and the team documents what it finds so there is a clear record of the tree's condition and the work carried out. It is a practical approach that suits the steep blocks and tall gums the Dandenong Ranges are known for, where getting a tree down safely takes proper gear and a crew that knows the terrain.

ARK Arborists works right across Melbourne's eastern suburbs, the Dandenong Ranges and the Yarra Valley, covering Montrose, Belgrave, Croydon, Ringwood, Lilydale, Eltham, Healesville and Warburton, along with the many towns in between, from Boronia and Kilsyth through to Emerald, Pakenham and Yarra Glen. The office is open Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm, and the emergency line is on hand around the clock.
