Got Me Stumped Tree Services

Got Me Stumped Tree Services is a Geelong tree company run by David Lamont, its owner and operations manager, and based at Lara just north of the city. David has around 20 years in the industry and has been running the business since 2011, working with a team of certified professionals and carrying extensive insurance cover, which is worth having when there is a large tree coming down near a house.

The name gives away where a lot of the work ends up: stump grinding, getting rid of the stumps left behind after a tree comes out so the ground is clear to mow, replant or build on. That sits alongside the core tree removal work, taking down dead, dangerous or unwanted trees, and tree pruning to keep the ones worth keeping healthy, safe and in shape rather than overgrown.

On the maintenance side, hedge trimming keeps hedges and screens tidy and even, and ongoing tree maintenance keeps established trees in good order year to year. Green waste from a job can be run through the chipper for tree mulching, so the offcuts go back onto the garden as mulch instead of being carted off to landfill.

Beyond the everyday work, Got Me Stumped takes on a few things not every outfit offers. Cable bracing supports weak or split stems so a valuable tree can be kept rather than removed, and possum tree guards protect trees from being ringbarked by possums. For bigger jobs there is site clearance, clearing blocks of trees and vegetation ahead of building or landscaping.

Got Me Stumped Tree Services covers Geelong, the Surf Coast, Golden Plains, Colac Otway and Wyndham, and is open Monday to Friday from 7am to 5pm. For a quote, a call to David is the quickest way to get someone out to look at the tree or the stump. With around two decades of arboriculture behind it and a full range of tree work on offer, it is a solid choice for anyone around Geelong.
