Treelife Tree Services

Treelife Tree Services was started in Melbourne by Troy Porter in 2004, and more than twenty years on it works the eastern suburbs out of a base in Ferntree Gully. The crew are certified arborists, fully insured and OH&S certified, and the range of work runs well past the usual cut-and-clear, taking in the diagnostic side of arboriculture as much as the climbing and grinding.

The team handles tree removal, tree lopping, tree pruning, tree trimming and tree cutting, along with gum tree removal for the big eucalypts that dominate blocks through Knox and the Dandenong foothills. Stump removal then clears what a felling leaves in the ground.

Beyond the removals, Treelife Tree Services produces certified arborist reports for councils, planning applications and boundary disputes, and takes on the health side of tree care: tree disease and pest control, elm leaf beetle treatment, tree canopy spraying and soil management to get struggling trees back on track.

Tree risk prevention covers the assessment and remedial work that keeps a leaning or storm-battered tree from turning into a problem, and the outfit trades on friendly service and straight pricing rather than a hard sell. Being a single Ferntree Gully brand rather than a call-centre operation, the same crew that quotes the job tends to be the one that does it.

From Ferntree Gully, Treelife Tree Services covers The Basin, Boronia, Croydon, Box Hill, Rowville, Scoresby, Wantirna, Knoxfield, Bayswater, Ringwood, Glen Waverley, Mount Waverley, Wheelers Hill, Mulgrave and Oakleigh. The team can be reached on 0404 348 823.
