Fredwood Tree Services

Fredwood Tree Services takes a greener line on tree work than most, running a Branch-out for Biodiversity program alongside the usual removals and pruning. Based in Reservoir in Melbourne's north, the business has more than fifteen years behind it and prunes to the Australian Standard AS 4373-2007, so the cuts are made the way the trade says they should be.

Pruning and trimming covers the shaping, thinning and clearance work that keeps a tree healthy and off the roof, and there is a strong tree-care side to match. Tree health care, disease control and bracing for weak or splitting limbs all go towards keeping a tree in the ground rather than taking it out.

When a tree does have to come out, tree removal is handled with the drop and the cleanup planned properly, and the team can give permit advice for the councils in Melbourne's north that require approval before a tree comes down. Hedge shaping and trimming keeps formal hedges and screens tidy.

Storm damage and emergency work covers the fast response when a tree comes down or is left dangerous after a storm. Beyond that, the biodiversity program and nest-box work reflect the eco side of the business, possum guards keep possums out of roof spaces and off mature trees, and the team also takes on film and special projects when a production needs tree work.

Fredwood Tree Services works across Melbourne's northern suburbs, including Reservoir, Preston, Coburg, Heidelberg, Ivanhoe, Thornbury and Northcote, along with the wider Melbourne area. The team can be reached on 03 9115 1426.
