Great Alpine Tree Services

Great Alpine Tree Services is a small, hands-on tree crew working out of Bairnsdale and Lakes Entrance. It is run by owner and director Allan, a qualified climbing arborist with a background in health, safety and risk assessment, alongside Kamil, who runs the chipper and the groundwork while training towards his own climbing arborist qualification. You deal with the people doing the work, not a call centre.

Tree removal is handled whether it is a large tree that has to come down or a small one posing a safety risk, including hazardous and dead trees sitting close to a house. Being a climbing arborist by trade, Allan can get up into a tree and take it apart from the top rather than relying on a machine to reach it, which counts for a lot on the tight blocks and steep ground common through East Gippsland.

Tree trimming and pruning keep trees healthy and in good shape, and because Allan climbs, work high in a canopy is done with precision rather than a blunt cut from below. Storm-damaged and hazardous trees are brought down in a controlled way, piece by piece where the situation calls for it, with the safety of the property kept front of mind.

The business also supplies and delivers mulch, so the material that comes off a job is put back to use rather than wasted. For urgent situations, Great Alpine Tree Services runs a 24 hour storm and emergency service, which matters when a limb drops across a driveway or a tree splits in a blow. The crew keeps long hours through the week and works Sundays, so a pressing job does not have to sit until Monday.

Coverage runs right across East Gippsland, taking in Bairnsdale, Lakes Entrance, Bruthen, Sarsfield, Metung, Orbost, Mallacoota and Sale, among the roughly thirty towns the crew names across the region. For anyone weighing up a removal or a tidy-up, a free quote is the place to start.
