Cathcart Tree Services

Somebody has told you the tree has to come out, and you are not certain they are right. That is a good moment to get a second opinion from an arborist who is qualified to give one. Sam Cathcart holds a Diploma of Arboriculture, which is the level at which you are taught what a tree is doing in the ecosystem around it and not just how to cut it down, and at Cathcart Tree Services removal is a decision, never a default.

Sam started the business in 2021 on the back of more than fifteen years working in and around Bendigo. It is family owned, the crew are all local, and we cover Bendigo and Central Victoria. We carry public liability cover up to twenty million dollars and will hand over copies of our insurances if you ask, and the OH&S side of a site is run properly because the people on it are people we know.

Where a tree can be kept, tree pruning is the work that keeps it. We prune, shape and deadwood to whatever outcome you are after, and done at the right time on the right limbs it adds years to a tree's life and improves how it grows, not only how it looks this month. The same applies to a hedge that has got away from you. Hedging brings an overgrown one back under control and lets new growth in, so the thing recovers into a shape instead of being cut back to sticks and left to sulk.

When a tree genuinely has to go, tree removal takes out the dead, the dangerous and the unwanted, and the site is left clean and tidy behind us, which is the part people notice a week later. What comes off goes through the chipper and becomes mulch, which we also sell: it holds moisture in the soil and keeps the weeds down, and on a Bendigo garden through February that is not a small thing. Where a decision needs backing up on paper, we prepare arborist reports.

For anything that will not wait, our crew is on call around the clock, seven days, for storm work and any other tree emergency. For everything else, put your details through the site or ring Sam on 0477 199 355. We will be in touch inside 24 hours to book your on site quote, and the quote itself costs you nothing.
