Tree removal in Glen Iris

Regular tree pruning does more than keep branches in check, it shapes the canopy, boosts light into your garden, and enhances the overall aesthetic of Glen Iris homes, which often feature leafy backyards. Our arborists use professional pruning techniques to maintain the health and structure of each tree while elevating your outdoor space. If you’re interested in learning more, read our guide on trimming and pruning.

Many Glen Iris gardens feature native species that respond differently to pruning and soil conditions than introduced trees. Some natives are also protected, which means they may require special permits for removal or heavy pruning. Our arborists understand the unique needs of native species and use pruning methods that support their growth. To learn more about protected species, see which native trees are protected from removal.

Glen Iris falls under the City of Stonnington, which has specific regulations regarding tree removal. Some trees may require a permit depending on their size and species, even if they’re on private property. Our qualified arborists can help determine whether a permit is needed and guide you through the application process. You can also check the Stonnington Council permit page for details.

Mature trees can become unstable after storms or high winds, especially in older Glen Iris streets lined with large canopies. If a tree is at risk of falling or has already sustained damage, our experienced arborists can assess the hazard, remove dangerous branches, or safely fell the tree if necessary. We’re fully insured and trained to manage high-risk removals. For more information, see who is responsible for fallen tree removal.
