Where we work
Based in Research and working throughout St Helena and the surrounding Banyule City Council area. Not sure if you're in range? Give us a call.
St Helena sits in Melbourne's leafy north-east, where large established eucalypts and native vegetation are part of the character. Many blocks fall under Banyule City Council's vegetation and tree controls, so removals can need approval. We know the local trees, work to what Banyule City Council expects, and leave the site clean.

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 St Helena that usually means Banyule 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.
