Kookaburra Tree Services

Kookaburra Tree Services has been working around Ballarat for over 8 years, qualified in arboriculture through Holmesglen since 2017 and taking on domestic and commercial jobs across the city and all the surrounding area. It is a licensed and insured outfit, and the same phone number covers a hedge trim and a tree that has come down where it should not have.

Tree removal is the headline job, from tree felling of whole trees down to tree lopping, where large branches, stumps and trunks come out in pieces rather than all at once. Large or dangerous trees that pose a risk to a house, a fence or a shed are treated as their own category, and that is the work that calls for a climber rather than a ladder and a bit of optimism.

Not every tree needs to go. Tree trimming and pruning keeps a canopy in shape and takes weight off limbs carrying more than they should, and dead wooding pulls out the dead material that is only waiting for a windy afternoon to come down on its own. Both are less disruptive than a removal, and they can buy years out of a tree that would otherwise be written off.

Once a tree is out, stump grinding deals with what is left rather than leaving a trip hazard in the middle of the lawn. Hedge trimming and hedge cutting are on the books as well, and the business is upfront about the limit: hedging is offered up to 3 m only, so a towering old screen is outside what it takes on. General garden maintenance rounds things out for clients who want the tidy up done in the same visit.

Emergency arborist work is available where necessary, so a storm damaged tree does not have to wait for the next free slot in the diary. Ordinary trading runs Monday to Thursday, 8:00 am to 4:00 pm, with Friday finishing at 3:00 pm and Saturday mornings running to 1:00 pm. Quotes go through 0473 578 004. The service area is Ballarat and the whole surrounding district, which takes in the smaller towns ringing the city.
