Cathcart Tree Services

Diploma-qualified arborist Sam Cathcart set up Cathcart Tree Services in 2021, bringing more than 15 years working in and around Bendigo to a family-owned tree business. That qualification counts when a job needs more than a chainsaw: Sam understands how trees sit in the wider ecosystem, and the work is done with an eye to keeping healthy trees alive rather than defaulting to removal. The business is fully insured, with public liability cover of up to 20 million dollars.

Tree removal takes out dead, dangerous or unwanted trees and leaves the site clean and tidy afterwards, not just a stump and a mess to deal with. For the trees staying put, tree pruning covers shaping, deadwooding and general maintenance, the ongoing care that keeps a tree healthy and growing to its full potential. Hedge trimming brings overgrown or out of control hedges back into shape and encourages fresh growth.

The crew is ready 24/7 for emergency tree works, so a tree brought down or made dangerous by a storm can be dealt with at any hour rather than left hanging. On the advisory side, arborist reports draw on Sam's diploma-level training to assess tree health, risk and management, the kind of documentation councils, builders and property owners often need before work goes ahead.

Rather than carting green waste off to landfill, Cathcart turns wood and foliage into mulch, which is available for sale and helps hold moisture in the soil and keep weeds down. From Bendigo, the business covers the surrounding areas across Central Victoria, working on suburban blocks and rural properties alike.

Sam can be reached on 0477 199 355 or at [email protected] to book a quote or arrange an arborist report. Whether it is a single overgrown hedge, a hazardous tree that needs to come down, or an urgent storm callout, Cathcart Tree Services covers it across Bendigo and Central Victoria.
