Tree Removals Bendigo

A eucalypt that has been under drought stress will shed a limb on a still, hot afternoon with no wind to blame it on. That is a Bendigo problem more than a general one, and so is the ground it happens over: shallow soil sitting on rock through the ironbark country, which changes how a tree is anchored and how much warning you get. Knowing that is most of what Tree Removals Bendigo brings to a job before anyone has picked up a saw.

Our arborists are locally based and qualified, AQF Level 3 at a minimum, with chainsaw certification behind that and public liability insurance we can produce a current certificate of currency for on the spot. The suburbs we work are the ones we live in: Kennington, Strathdale, Golden Square, Eaglehawk, California Gully, Long Gully, Spring Gully, Quarry Hill, Flora Hill and Ironbark. A lot of those are Victorian era blocks, which means a side gate, a narrow passage down one side and no way to reverse anything larger than a wheelbarrow into the backyard.

So tree removal here is usually a climbing and rigging job rather than a felling one, and the site setup takes as long as the cutting. Tree pruning deals with the limbs that are carrying too much weight into a hot summer, stump grinding takes what is left below the surface, and land clearing opens up bigger blocks for building, fencing or fire preparation. Green waste is processed where it falls through our mulching and wood chipping, which saves carting it out through the same narrow passage it came down. Where a council or an insurer wants something formal, we produce arborist reports.

The part we would rather you judged us on is the quote. You get it itemised, not as one number: site setup, climbing or machine hire, rigging time, on site green waste processing, stump work priced separately so you can take it or leave it, and disposal of chip or logs if any is leaving the property. As a guide, a tree under six metres generally runs $300 to $600, six to twelve metres $800 to $1,800, and anything twelve metres and up or genuinely hazardous starts around $2,000 and can pass $6,000, with $200 to $500 added on an emergency callout. We work Monday to Saturday, 7am to 6pm, and take emergency calls at any hour. Ring 0480 891 655 and ask for the breakdown.
