Where we work
Based in Research and working throughout Park Orchards and the surrounding Manningham City Council area. Not sure if you're in range? Give us a call.
Park Orchards runs from established leafy streets through to bushier blocks with large native eucalypts, where Manningham City Council vegetation controls are common. We work to those controls, take on tight rope-access removals, and clear the site properly.

FAQ
What services do you offer?
We provide a full range of professional tree services: pruning, tree removal, stump grinding, emergency and storm work, mulch delivery, and ongoing commercial and strata care.
How do I get started?
Getting started is simple. Send us a few details through the quote form or give us a call, and we will walk you through the next steps.
How can I contact you?
You can reach us by phone on 0427 900 858, by email, or through the quote form. We aim to respond quickly, usually within one business day.
Are you insured?
Yes. Valley Arbor is fully covered by public liability insurance, giving you complete peace of mind while the work is carried out.
Do I need a permit?
Sometimes. In Park Orchards that usually means Manningham City Council, and it depends on the size of the tree and whether the property has planning overlays. Dead or hazardous trees may sometimes be exempt. We check what applies to your tree and point you to the right forms at the quote.
