Redback Tree Services

Around three hundred Melbourne suburbs have a page of their own on our website, which is a blunt way of saying our patch is not a narrow one. Redback Tree Services works from three yards: the main one on Lower Dandenong Road at Dingley Village, with offices at Ormond and Greensborough. Fifteen years and more than 2,700 completed jobs sit behind that spread.

The strongest run of it is through Bayside and Kingston, taking in Brighton, Hampton, Sandringham, Black Rock, Beaumaris, Cheltenham, Bentleigh, Ormond, Moorabbin, Highett, Mentone, Parkdale, Mordialloc, Braeside, Heatherton and Dingley Village. From there the work runs inner city through South Melbourne, St Kilda, Prahran, Richmond, Fitzroy and Docklands, east through Glen Waverley, Clayton, Camberwell, Ringwood and Croydon, north to Templestowe, Eltham, Preston and Greensborough, and south east to Keysborough, Narre Warren, Berwick and Pakenham.

Every job starts the same way, and it is the part we would want you to know about. Our quoters work to a mandated hazard identification process on every single job they price, walking the tree and the ground around it before a number goes on paper. Then a mandated SWMS is filled out by the crew to mitigate the risk before any work begins. Only after that do you get our recommendations for what should actually be done. It is more paperwork than a cheap quote involves, and it is the reason nothing gets started here on an assumption.

Our climbers are AQF qualified arborists with a combined hundred years and more of experience between them, and every employee is police verified and holds a Working with Children Check. We are members of Arboriculture Australia, the International Society of Arboriculture and Tree Project, and we carry 20 million dollars of public liability insurance. If anything unforeseen happens to your property, that figure is the one that matters.

The work itself is tree removal, cutting and lopping, with tree trimming and pruning for the trees staying put and hedge trimming on the boundary and feature hedges. Afterwards, stump removal and grinding clears what is left in the ground. Palm tree removal and yucca tree removal have pages of their own, which makes sense in bayside Melbourne where both went in heavily and neither comes out neatly. Where the paperwork is the problem, arborist reports, permits and council permit advice are handled here too, and we work regularly with councils right across the city.

An untrimmed tree does not just look untidy. It blocks gutters with shed leaves, it creates blind spots pulling out of your own driveway, and it takes light off your windows. When one of them actually fails, our emergency tree removal runs 24 hours a day, seven days a week, across Melbourne, so a limb down at midnight gets a crew instead of a callback on Monday. Ring (03) 9525 7667 at any hour, or book a free on site consultation and we will come and price it properly.
