Precise Tree Services

Precise Tree Services is a Melbourne arboriculture business that would rather keep a tree than remove it. Director Willis started in the trade in 2010 and built the company around careful, proper arboricultural practice, and the team includes a climber holding a Level 3 National Diploma in Arboriculture alongside qualified and training arborists. Their approach is simple enough: a tree that can be managed is worth managing before anyone reaches for the saw, and removal is treated as the last option rather than the default.

When a tree genuinely does need to come out, tree removal is carried out with an eye to everything around it, with limbs sectioned and lowered by rope on tight or built-up sites rather than felled in one piece. For trees that fail or are storm-damaged and cannot wait, emergency tree removal is available outside the standard weekday hours, so a dangerous tree over a house or driveway can be dealt with quickly.

Most of the year the work is about care rather than removal. Hedging and pruning keeps established trees and hedges healthy, safe and in shape, while cabling and bracing supports weak branch unions and heavy limbs so a structurally flawed tree can be retained safely instead of taken down. Where a tree is worth saving but sits in the wrong spot, tree transplanting moves it rather than losing it altogether.

The service list runs wider than most. Habitat creation turns retained or standing dead trees into nesting hollows and homes for local wildlife, possum banding and management handles possums using the canopy as a highway, and a full tree management service covers ongoing, planned care for schools, government sites, councils, commercial properties and private homes. The team also works through council regulations and permit requirements, which come into play on protected and significant trees around Melbourne. It is the kind of range that suits a property owner who wants one arborist across everything from a single prune to a long-term plan.

Covering roughly a thirty kilometre radius across the Melbourne metropolitan area, Precise Tree Services looks after Kew, Hawthorn, Balwyn, Surrey Hills, Toorak, Malvern, Richmond, Ivanhoe, Rosanna, Eaglemont, Montmorency, Brighton and out to Kangaroo Ground. The office can be reached on 1800 773 873, with emergency help available when a tree cannot wait.
