Melbourne Tree Company

Russell Fray spent more than 18 years on the tools before he started Melbourne Tree Company in 2018, and it is still family owned and operated. Every arborist here is qualified. We hold White Cards and Working with Children clearances, we are police checked, we are fully insured, and our work complies with Arboriculture Australia's industry standards. On a commercial site that combination is what gets us through the gate and working without anybody having to chase paperwork first.

Our reach runs across metropolitan Melbourne, the Mornington Peninsula and out into regional Victoria. That takes in the Melbourne CBD, Surrey Hills, Camberwell, Malvern, Brighton, Bentleigh and Bayside, east through Glen Waverley, Ferntree Gully and Warrandyte, south east through Dandenong and Berwick, and down through Carrum Downs, Frankston, Seaford, Mount Eliza and Mornington. For urgent work and larger projects we will travel well beyond that.

The trees people ring us about are seldom the simple ones. Very large trees. Trees with roots protruding through a lawn or lifting a path. Trees standing close enough to a building that the foundations become part of the conversation. Old trees in historical or sensitive locations, where taking one out is the last thing anybody wants. Tree cabling and bracing exists for that last group in particular: a structural weakness gets supported so the tree can stay where it is. Where a tree genuinely has to go, tree removal and tree clearing deal with hazardous or intrusive trees at homes and on commercial sites, and strip a block back ahead of landscaping or a build.

Tree pruning is precision work on established trees, and ornamental pear pruning is listed on its own because those trees turn up often enough in Melbourne gardens and nature strips to be worth booking as their own job. Whether you want a single visit or an ongoing arrangement across an entire property, tree maintenance covers it. Stump grinding clears out what a removal leaves in the ground. For anything that will not keep until morning there is emergency tree removal, and our phones are open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

No job is too big or small. Quotes are free and carry no obligation, and we would sooner come and look at the tree with you than put a number on it down the phone, so we book a consultation at a time that actually suits you. There is a seven step quote form on our website if you would prefer to start there, with an emergency or ASAP option for work that cannot wait. Ring 1300 192 599 and we will arrange a time.
