Murray Goulburn Tree Services

Murray Goulburn Tree Services has been looking after trees around Echuca and Moama for more than 15 years. It is run by director Gary Norman, a Certificate IV qualified arborist with over 18 years in the industry, backed by a team holding Certificate II and III qualifications. The business works for homeowners as much as it does for councils, shires, schools, caravan parks and local businesses, which speaks to the range and standard of the work it takes on.

The business puts real weight on getting the assessment right before any cutting starts. Tree risk assessment and detailed tree reports give homeowners, councils and developers a clear picture of a tree's health, structure and safety, and arboriculture consulting is on hand for planning applications, development sites and disputes where a qualified opinion carries weight. It is the sort of work that comes from having a Certificate IV arborist running the show.

On the practical side, tree removal takes out trees that have died, become unsafe or outgrown their space, and tree pruning keeps canopies healthy and clear. Stump grinding deals with what is left in the ground afterwards, while a cherry picker hire service gives the crew safe height access for larger jobs. For trees worth protecting, elm leaf beetle control tackles a pest that plagues the region's elms.

There is a strong environmental streak to the business, too. Tree planting puts new growth back into gardens, streetscapes and rural blocks, and the green waste from a job is turned into chipping, mulch and firewood rather than going to landfill. Gary and the team are open about their care for the district's urban forest and the long-term value of keeping good trees standing.

Murray Goulburn Tree Services covers the Echuca-Moama district and the surrounding region, including Kyabram, Rochester and Mathoura, and takes on work for private property owners, councils, shires, schools and caravan parks alike.
