Understanding Local Removal Regulations

Before removing a tree, it is essential to understand local regulations and obtain the necessary permits. In Melbourne’s Eastern Suburbs tree removal is regulated by the local councils and property owners must submit a tree removal application form to obtain approval. The council will assess the application, taking into account factors such as the tree’s species, size, and location, before granting approval. Tree Range is familiar with these regulations and can guide you through the process. By ensuring compliance, you can avoid potential fines and ensure that your tree removal project proceeds smoothly and legally.

Our Tree Removal Process

Our tree removal process typically involves several steps, including assessment, pruning, and removal. The assessment phase involves evaluating the tree’s size, location, and species to determine the best removal method. Pruning may be necessary to reduce the tree’s size or remove dead or diseased branches. The removal phase involves cutting down the tree, either in sections or as a whole, depending on the tree’s size and location. We use specialised equipment and techniques to ensure safe and efficient tree removal. By following a systematic approach, we ensure that the tree is removed with minimal disruption to your property and surroundings.

Hazardous Tree Removal

Has a storm passed through and turned your tree into an emergency situation?
After a storm event, check for:

•  Hanging limbs or branch failures, any cracks in the trunk, a large limb or in a main union.
• Perhaps the tree has shifted in the ground and is steadily uprooting/increasing the lean on your tree?
• Or you have not noticed how rotten your tree has become over the years, or are you unsure about fungal activity on your tree?

If your tree is experiencing any of these conditions, you will require an arborist to alleviate the issue. We also provide emergency tree removal.

Confined Space Tree Removal

Is your tree growing in a tight spot? Close to nearby buildings, fences or even a sentimental garden? We work consistently with Cranes and complex rigging systems to lower trees down in a controlled manner. Our specialists can help get the tree down safely without damaging the things you care about most. We are a fully insured company, dealing with these challenges every day.

Dead Tree Removal

Is your Tree Dead? Maybe it’s time to consider having it dismantled before it begins dismantling itself in an uncontrollable manner!
Dead trees can typically have their roots continue to rot at a rate that is faster than the rate in which the canopy breaks down and the timber hollows out, reaching a point where they do not support the entire weight of the tree any more. Where possible, we promote habitat pruning on dead trees, taking the majority of risk out of the tree but keeping a structure there to continue supporting local ecology.

Big Tree Removal

Got a large tree that’s become a serious concern? Whether it’s a towering tree near your home or one that’s reached an unhealthy size, big tree removal can be a daunting task. These trees often require careful planning and specialist equipment to safely bring them down without causing any damage to the surrounding area.

Our experienced team uses advanced rigging and cutting techniques to ensure a smooth, controlled removal. We handle everything from assessing the tree’s structure to safely dismantling it, no matter how large. If your tree is towering over your property, our professionals are equipped to tackle even the most complex big tree removals, all while prioritising safety and environmental responsibility. Rest assured, we are fully insured and fully committed to giving you peace of mind during the process.

Site Clearance

Just bought a piece of private or commercial land or rebuilding your current home and need a block clearance? We have all the equipment and vehicles to bring your trees down safely, clean up thoroughly and remove all the material from the site. According to the plans we have made for your place.

Other Removal Options

After a tree has been removed, property owners are left with a stump that needs to be removed. There are several removal options: stump grinding and stump removal. Stump grinding involves using a special machine to grind the stump into small pieces, which can be left on site or removed. Stump removal involves physically removing the stump from the site. We also offer stump removal options so the site is left tidy and safe. Choose the right stump removal method and you’ll enhance your property and prevent hazards.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Do I need council approval to cut down a tree in Victoria?

In many cases, yes. Most councils in Victoria require a permit to remove, prune, or work on protected trees, especially if they meet certain size or species criteria. Before any work begins, we can guide you through the permit process and help you comply with local regulations. Our team is familiar with the tree removal requirements for Melbourne’s Eastern Suburbs and surrounding areas.

2. How much does it cost to remove a tree in Australia?

The cost to remove a tree can vary depending on several factors, including the tree’s size, location, condition, and the complexity of the removal. In general, smaller trees are less expensive to remove than large or hazardous ones. We provide free quotes tailored to your specific site and needs, ensuring you know the exact price upfront without any hidden costs.

3. What is the 10/50 rule for tree removal?

The 10/50 rule allows landowners in designated bushfire-prone areas to clear certain trees and vegetation without council approval. Under this rule, you can remove trees within 10 metres of your home and vegetation within 50 metres to improve fire safety. However, eligibility depends on your property’s location and the specific bushfire regulations that apply. We can help you determine if the 10/50 rule applies to your property and advise you on the safest approach.

4. When should a large tree be removed?

A large tree may need removal if it poses a safety risk, shows signs of significant decay, has suffered storm damage, or is causing structural damage to nearby buildings. Other reasons include poor health, root system failures, or interference with planned construction. Our qualified arborists can assess your tree’s condition and recommend whether removal is necessary or if alternative treatments are possible.

5. How do you determine if a tree should be cut down?

We assess several key factors to determine if a tree should be cut down. These include the tree’s overall health, structural stability, signs of disease or rot, the risk it poses to nearby structures, and compliance with local council regulations. Safety is always our priority. If the tree presents a hazard or cannot be safely maintained, we will recommend removal and guide you through the process with minimal disruption to your property.
