Hi, I’m Trav, the founder of Trav’s Tree Services.

Over the years, we’ve built this business on the trust of homeowners, businesses, and councils across Melbourne. From the first call to the final cleanup, we specialise in making the process as smooth and stress-free as possible. Here are just a few reasons why people choose us time and time again:
If you’re looking for tree-cutting services that won’t give you the runaround, you’re in the right place — I promise.
In Victoria, whether you need permission to remove a tree depends on factors like its species, size, and location. Here’s what you need to know:
Always check with your local council before removing a tree to avoid fines or legal issues. Our team can guide you through the process and ensure compliance with all regulations.
No, your neighbour cannot cut down or remove your tree without your permission. However, there are some rules to consider:
If you’re unsure about your rights or how to handle a situation with a neighbour, give us a ring for advice from an independent expert, and we’ll help keep things clear and amicable.
Certain trees in Victoria are protected due to their ecological, cultural, or historical significance. Key points to know:
Removing a protected tree without permission can result in hefty fines. If you’re unsure whether a tree is protected, we can assess it and help you secure any necessary permits.
Liability for a fallen tree depends on the situation and whether negligence was involved:
If you’re worried about a tree on your property, our master loppers can inspect it and recommend the best course of action to keep everyone safe.
In Melbourne, specific tree species, especially those considered significant or rare, are protected by local regulations and cannot be removed without obtaining the required permits. These regulations aim to preserve the city's green canopy and safeguard the ecological balance. It's essential to check with your local council or authorities to determine which tree species are protected and the specific rules regarding their removal.
Tree removal can impact the environment, but it can be done responsibly. Reputable tree lopping services, like Trav’s Trees, consider ecological factors and may offer options like replanting, recycling wood, or repurposing it for mulch.
The duration of tree removal depends on the tree's size, location, and complexity. Small trees can be removed in a matter of hours, while larger, more intricate removals might take a day or more. We’ll provide a time estimate based on your specific situation.
You don't need a council permit for tree removal in Melbourne if the tree you’re seeking to remove is commonly found in gardens and landscapes. If the tree isn't dead but presents an immediate risk of personal danger or damage to your property, you can remove the part of the tree that is at risk. Often, it is easier and safer to arrange for a tree removalist to carry out tree removal in Melbourne.
We provide detailed arborist reports tailored to your specific needs, whether it’s for council applications, tree health assessments, or development projects. Here’s how the process works:
What does an expert's report cost?
