Green Resolution Arborist

A mature palm sitting in the wrong corner of a block that is being rebuilt does not have to be cut down. We lift it and move it. Tree and palm transplanting is the service we would want you to hear about first, because it is the one that saves a tree most people have already written off: a specimen worth keeping gets excavated, carried and replanted somewhere better on the same property, and most of those jobs are finished inside a day. Working out of Carnegie on Dandenong Road, Green Resolution Arborist is a small local team, and we work for homeowners, businesses, schools, developers and councils across Melbourne's south east.

The move itself is far more preparation than lifting. We inspect the site and assess the tree first, because not every tree is a candidate and species, size, age and root health all have a say in it. We would sooner tell you no than shift something that will not take. Then comes the quote, the scheduling and the site preparation, which on a large specimen can run for weeks before anything leaves the ground. On the day we excavate carefully and lift with tree spades, cranes and industry grade lifting gear, with the root ball wrapped, held in a support frame and packed with moisture retaining soil to keep the shock down. It goes into the new position with support systems, and after that you get proper instructions on watering, mulching and soil management, the mulch itself, and follow up visits to see how it is establishing. People come to us for this during a landscape redesign, to protect a tree through a build, to fix overcrowding, to take a tree out of a spot that is slowly killing it, or simply because it has been in the family too long to lose.

The suburb list is a long one. Through the inner south east and bayside it takes in Carnegie, Caulfield, Murrumbeena, Ormond, Bentleigh, Brighton, Elwood, Sandringham, Cheltenham and Malvern East. Further out it runs through Oakleigh, Clayton, Springvale, Dandenong, Berwick, Pakenham, Mordialloc, Chelsea, Carrum Downs and Frankston, and east to Glen Waverley, Box Hill, Doncaster, Ringwood and Croydon. On the Mornington Peninsula we reach Mount Eliza, Mornington, Mount Martha, Dromana, Rosebud, Rye, Sorrento and Portsea.

Tree and stump removal takes out the dead, the diseased and the unsafe and clears what is left in the ground, while tree and hedge pruning keeps growth in check and gets weight off the limbs most likely to drop. For a tree that is struggling instead of dangerous there is root and tree health management, covering soil conditioning, pest and root problems and an ongoing care plan. Land clearing brings in specialised machinery to strip vegetation, debris and stumps ahead of construction, landscaping or fire safety compliance. Our arborist reports and assessments go to councils for approvals, and we will walk you through what your particular council wants to see. Storm damaged tree management runs around the clock, every day, for urgent hazards.

Every arborist here is certified and insured, the business is licensed, and the green waste off your job gets recycled. Quotes are free, clear and fixed price with no hidden fees, so the figure we give you is the figure you pay. Ring 03 7003 2541 and we will come and look at the tree.
