Local Tree Care

Branches out over the house, over the shed or across the fence line, or a canopy that has crept across the solar panels and started costing you money. Those are the jobs where technique decides the outcome, because poor pruning does lasting damage to a tree's growth and structure while still looking tidy enough on the day. Local Tree Care works to proper arboricultural pruning technique and will talk you through what is coming off and why before anyone goes up. Do not let a lopper loose on a tree you want to keep.

We work either side of the Murray, out of Baranduda and across Albury, Wodonga and the surrounding communities of North East Victoria and Southern New South Wales. The towns on the run take in Leneva, Bonegilla, Kiewa, Tangambalanga, Yackandandah, Beechworth, Stanley, Allans Flat, Staghorn Flat, Kergunyah, Bethanga, Chiltern, Jindera, Howlong, Table Top, Gerogery, Culcairn and Holbrook. Urban and rural homeowners, councils, strata managers and local businesses all have us on the books.

Colin and Sandra Kramer founded the business in 1998 and still run it. Both hold Diplomas in Arboriculture and Environmental Sustainability, and across nearly thirty years they have grown a team of arborists around them who work to the same standard. Everyone is qualified and fully insured, and our current insurances and policies are published on the website so you can read them before a crew comes through your gate.

Taking a tree down on a tight suburban block is a different exercise from dropping one in an open paddock, which is why a tree removal here gets looked at before it gets priced. Stump grinding clears the ground once the tree is gone, and where you want something back in the space we handle tree planting as well, along with hedge trimming to hold a screen where you actually want it. Between the qualifications, the equipment and the size of the crew we can take on routine maintenance and large scale, complex projects with the same people.

Not everything gets solved with a saw. We assess and treat tree pests and diseases, and our tree consultancy covers the advice you need when a tree sits near a build, a boundary or a council application. Arborist reports set out the health and condition of the tree, the risks that come with it, and a recommendation you can hand straight to whoever asked you for one. When a limb or a whole tree has come down on your place, our emergency response covers the storm damage.

The office runs Monday to Friday from seven in the morning to six at night, and we take weekends by appointment. Ring Colin on the mobile or email the team, tell us which tree it is and where it sits, and we will come out and give you a free quote with no obligation on it.
