Why we’re the best choice for tree care

Hi, I’m Trav, and I’ve always believed that working with trees isn’t just a job — it’s a privilege. There’s something deeply rewarding about helping to nurture and protect the natural beauty around us. Every project we take on, from planting to maintenance, reflects our dedication to doing things the right way, with care, precision, and a lot of heart.

Our mission goes beyond just getting the job done. It’s about creating spaces that people are proud of, while ensuring the trees themselves thrive for generations to come. Whether it’s shaping the perfect canopy or revitalising a struggling tree, I started this tree company to make a real difference.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should you remove a tree?

Deciding to remove a tree often depends on safety, health, and environmental factors. If a large tree is diseased, poses a hazard, or its roots are damaging infrastructure, you might need that tree cut down. Consulting a professional ensures the process is safe and compliant with local regulations.

At Trav's Tree Services, we specialise in tree removal Melbourne home and business owners can trust, handling everything from large, hazardous trees to those in hard-to-reach locations. Whether you're looking to remove trees for safety or landscaping purposes, our team ensures the job is done efficiently. Once the tree is removed, we also offer tree stump removal and debris cleanup to leave your property spotless.

What months are best for tree trimming?

The ideal time for tree trimming varies depending on the tree species, but generally, late winter to early spring is best. During this time, most trees are dormant, making it easier to trim without causing unnecessary stress. It also allows for better visibility of the tree’s structure without the leaves getting in the way.

If you’re unsure about your specific tree, our expert arborists can advise you on the best timing to ensure healthy growth and proper maintenance all year round.

How much does it cost to prune a tree in Australia?

Tree pruning costs in Australia can vary widely depending on factors like the size of the tree, its location, and the complexity of the job. For an accurate quote, our team assesses the specific needs of your tree and provides a transparent, no-obligation estimate tailored to your situation.

What trees can be cut down without permission in Victoria?

In Victoria, some trees can be cut down without council approval, especially if they are not covered by a protection overlay or are deemed hazardous. However, rules vary depending on local regulations and property zones.

To avoid any legal issues, it’s always best to check with your local council or consult a tree specialist who can guide you through the process and help determine if permits are required.

What is the difference between tree trimming and pruning?

Tree trimming focuses on aesthetics and maintaining a tree’s overall shape and appearance. It’s about removing overgrowth and ensuring the tree blends seamlessly into its surroundings. Pruning, on the other hand, is a more strategic process aimed at promoting tree health. This involves removing dead, diseased, or dangerous branches to encourage proper growth.

Both services play an important role in keeping your trees healthy and your property looking great, and we’re here to help with both.

Can I trim my own trees?

While you can trim smaller trees on your property, larger or more complex jobs are best left to professionals. DIY trimming can be risky, especially if the tree is near power lines, structures, or if the branches are heavy.

Hiring a professional ensures safety, precision, and compliance with local regulations. Plus, our arborists bring the tools and expertise to handle any trimming job with care and efficiency.
