Tiley's Tree Services

Dead or damaged trees do their damage in high winds. That is when a limb which has been failing quietly for a while finally lets go, and it is the reason Tiley's Tree Services treats hazardous tree removal as a discipline of its own. We assess the condition of the tree first and work out the safest way to take it down without endangering your property or the utilities near it, which counts for most on the ones standing close to power lines or already leaning over a structure. Emergency removals and difficult situations are exactly what that assessment exists for, and every bit of debris is cleared before we go.

Where we work is Ashburton and Melbourne's eastern and south eastern suburbs, which is territory heavy with established gardens on older blocks. Liquidambars, elms and gums that went in when the houses did and are now well past the size the yard was designed around. A job like that usually comes down to what will fit through a side gate, and our arborists are qualified people who plan around that before anything comes off the tree. Tree removal here covers trees of any size, whether they are dead, diseased or simply in the way of what you want to do with the block.

A stump left behind is more than an eyesore. It attracts termites and ants, catches a mower blade, trips people up and gets in the way of any landscaping plan you had. Our stump removal is done by grinding, at or below ground level so nothing reshoots, with optional root removal where a block is being cleared properly and not merely tidied. We keep the disruption to the ground around it down and clean up thoroughly afterwards, which on a stump grind is the difference between a tidy hole and a lawn buried under chip. Tree pruning looks after the trees that are staying, and hedge trimming keeps a boundary or screening hedge in shape before it turns into bare sticks with green on the top.

What comes off the bigger jobs goes into the firewood. It is seasoned and carefully dried to a low moisture content, so it burns hot and clean, gives longer lasting heat and puts out less smoke, and it comes in a range of sizes and quantities with delivery to your door and some advice on storing it. All of it is sourced from trees we have removed or pruned ourselves, which gives wood that would otherwise be waste a second use. Our phone is answered Monday to Friday, 7am to 4pm.
