Stump Grinding

Stump grinding is an essential service for removing unsightly and potentially hazardous tree stumps from your property. Our powerful grinders ensure that stumps are removed quickly and thoroughly, allowing you to reclaim space and enhance the beauty of your landscape.

Service Wire Clearing

If your trees are interfering with power lines or service wires, it’s important to have them professionally cleared. Our arborists are experienced in safely trimming branches near service wires to prevent disruptions and hazards. We work in close coordination with utility companies to ensure a safe and efficient clearing process.

Elm leaf beetle treatment

Elm Leaf Beetle infestations can cause significant damage to foliage, leading to stress, loss of vigour, and eventual decline of affected trees if left untreated. To prevent this outcome, we recommend trunk injection as the most effective approach for managing Elm Leaf Beetle. This method introduces the treatment directly into the tree’s vascular system, providing reliable control while reducing risks to non-target species, ensuring accurate dosing, and supporting healthy soil biology.

All applications are performed by our qualified technicians, who hold current Agricultural Chemical User Permits (ACUP) and are trained in the safe use of registered tree health products in accordance with Victorian regulations.
