Tree Division

Tree Division covers Geelong, the Surf Coast and the Bellarine Peninsula, taking on residential, commercial and civil work. It started as a small business and grew into a combined tree care, land clearing and excavation operation, which is a wider brief than most tree crews carry. The team is described as trained and qualified arborists working alongside land specialists.

Tree removal and tree pruning and maintenance sit at the standard end of the list, with stump removal and grinding finishing what a removal leaves in the ground. Pruning is put forward as maintenance rather than a reaction, keeping established trees in condition instead of waiting for a limb to fail. Debris removal clears the site afterwards, and wood chipping and mulching processes the green waste rather than carting it off whole.

Where the business separates itself is in the plant it can put on site. EWP services bring elevated work platform access to trees that should not be climbed, excavation hire puts machinery on the ground work, and horizontal grinding deals with the volume of timber that comes off a large clearing job. Land clearing ties all of that together for blocks being prepared for building or fencing.

Arborist reports cover the paperwork end, which is what a council permit application, a development approval or an insurance claim usually calls for before anything is cut. Having the reporting and the machinery under the one roof means the assessment and the work itself do not have to be booked through two separate businesses.

The 24 hour emergency service is the other half of the phone. As the site puts it, emergencies, natural disasters and unexpected weather such as heavy storms can strike at any time, and a tree across a driveway on the Bellarine does not wait for business hours. Contact is on 0476 661 774 or by email, and there is a projects page on the site showing the sort of work the crew takes on.
