Yarra Tree Services

Yarra Tree Services has been servicing Melbourne since 2009 and works out of a yard at Bayswater in the eastern suburbs. Built on a family tradition of caring, the business runs a crew of qualified arborists and takes on everything from a single street tree to ongoing commercial maintenance.

The core services include tree removal, from straightforward jobs through to the careful disassembly of large trees where there is no room to fell them whole, and stump grinding so the space can be replanted or lawned over with no stump left to regrow. Pruning keeps trees healthy by taking out dead, diseased or damaged branches without over cutting.

For trees worth keeping, tree cabling braces weak limbs to stop them moving and failing, while hazardous tree assessment and fire hazard reduction deal with the risk side, cutting growth back from buildings before storm or fire season. The team also helps clients through tree preservation orders and council permits, which are easy to fall foul of in Melbourne's east.

On the paperwork side, tree assessments and arborist reports back council permit applications, pre purchase inspections and development plans, and site clearing gets a block ready for building or an extension. Larger trees are turned into firewood and mulch rather than carted away, and the business even runs a 24 hour service for animal rescues.

When a tree comes down in a storm, Yarra Tree Services is open 24/7 for emergency support on 1800 292 772, on top of its regular hours from Monday to Friday and Saturday mornings. The business covers metropolitan Melbourne, Melbourne's east, the Yarra Valley and the Dandenong Ranges.
