GAB Group

GAB Group is a Warrnambool tree services and vegetation business that works both sides of the fence, taking on everyday tree jobs for homes and businesses as well as power line clearing and electrical distribution work for the utility networks. The team are fully qualified arborists, and all pruning is carried out to the Australian Standard for pruning of amenity trees, AS 4373:2007, so the work is done properly rather than just cut back hard.

On the tree side, tree removal and tree climbing handle everything from a straightforward backyard tree to a difficult removal in a tight or elevated spot that has to be climbed and dismantled by rope. Tree pruning keeps established trees healthy, safe and in shape, thinning canopies and clearing branches back off roofs, lines and boundaries. Palm tree removal and cleaning is offered as well, which is its own job on the tall palms common through the south west.

Once a tree is down, stump removal grinds out what is left in the ground so the spot can be levelled and reused, and chipping turns the branches into mulch on site rather than filling a trailer with waste. Instead of carting that material away, GAB Group sells it back through mulch sales and wood sales, which keeps the mulch and firewood from local jobs in the local area at a fair price.

The utility and civil side is where GAB Group stands apart from a straightforward tree lopper. Power line vegetation clearing and electrical distribution work is carried out for the networks, backed by traffic management for jobs on and around roads where crews and traffic have to share the space. The business also produces professional arborist reports for planning, development applications and tree condition assessments.

Based in Warrnambool, GAB Group covers the surrounding south west of Victoria, including Cobden, Koroit, Port Fairy, Terang, Caramut and Hamilton. The team can be reached on 0408 629 377 or 0487 177 024.
