Tree removal in Kooyong

Once a tree is safely removed, stump grinding clears the base below ground, leaving space for replanting or landscaping. In Kooyong’s established gardens, this step helps preserve the neat, structured look while preventing regrowth or tripping hazards. Mulch from the removal can also be reused to protect surrounding garden beds. For smart mulching tips, see our guide on mulch and fire safety.

Large trees can overwhelm small spaces if they’re not maintained properly. In Kooyong’s compact residential blocks, strategic canopy reduction or selective pruning keeps trees healthy without overpowering the property. We use precise techniques to maintain the tree’s natural shape while managing its size, ensuring both safety and aesthetics are preserved. For shaping tips, see our tips on trimming and pruning.

Many Kooyong properties sit on older foundations surrounded by large, established trees. Over time, invasive roots can cause movement in paths, driveways, or even building structures. Our arborists can assess the root systems and recommend pruning, barrier installation, or removal if necessary. This tailored approach protects both the integrity of your home and the surrounding landscape. For deeper insights, see our guide to tree root removal.

Kooyong falls under the City of Stonnington, which has strict guidelines for removing certain trees, especially large or native species. Depending on size, type and location, you may need council approval before starting any work. Our qualified arborists can help you assess whether a permit applies and guide you through the process. You can check the Stonnington Council permit page for more information.
