Safer Trees Melbourne

Trees hard up against a house, a fence line or a set of powerlines have to come down in sections with the right gear on site, and confined space work like that is what Safer Trees Melbourne is set up for. Andrew takes the calls and will come out and look at the job before quoting. Our arborists are qualified and the business is fully insured, and we work for homeowners, businesses, property managers, schools and developers across the city.

Tree removal covers the hazardous, the damaged and the ones that have simply outgrown where they were planted, and we clear storm damaged and fallen trees as well. If something has come down overnight or a limb is hanging over a driveway, our emergency tree work line runs 24/7. Some trees need council approval before they can be touched, and we will tell you when that applies and walk you through what council wants.

Where a tree is worth keeping, tree pruning takes out the dead, damaged and overhanging limbs, improves the structure and takes the risk out of what is left. The right time to prune depends on the species and the state the tree is in, so we will give you a recommendation when we quote rather than just booking the next available day. Hedge trimming and shaping is its own job, and most hedges want doing two to four times a year to hold their line.

Once the timber is down, stump grinding gets rid of what is left so you can plant or pave over it. Site clearance takes on vegetation clearing and green waste for a block being prepared for construction or landscaping, including full residential, commercial and development sites. Green waste is your call: we cart it away, chip it into mulch that stays on the property, or leave it stacked where you want it. We also prepare arborist reports for council and planning purposes. Whatever the job, the fences, gardens and paths around it get protected while we work, and the site is swept up before we leave.

We cover Melbourne and the surrounding suburbs, and we go out into regional Victoria as well, taking in Sunbury, Diggers Rest, Craigieburn, Gisborne and the Macedon Ranges. Quotes are free and there is no obligation on them. Call Andrew on 0405 788 646 with the address and what you are looking at, and we will arrange a time to come and assess it.
