Abraham Lincoln said that if he had six hours to chop down a tree, he’d spend the first four sharpening the axe. No offence to old Honest Abe, but we say why use an axe when you can use a chainsaw?
At TLC Trees, we’re big on tree preservation, but there are multiple reasons to have a tree removed. In addition to aesthetics and property development, a tree may need to be removed due to fungal disease, decay or death, structural defects, damage due to storms or other events that result in emergency tree removal, bushfire management, unacceptable risk on your property and more.
Whatever the reason, our blokes are fully-insured, fully-qualified and fully-equipped with industry-leading equipment to get your job done. If you’re stumped when it comes to your local council’s regulations around tree lopping and tree removal in Melbourne’s eastern suburbs, or if you’re just unsure about the difference between arborists and tree loppers, accurate advice is our middle name (weird, we know).
The life of your tree doesn’t need to end at its removal. You always have the option to repurpose your tree debris. Whether it’s for firewood or milling purposes, our team can process your wood into lengths or blocks in the size you request at no additional cost.
Another perk you’ll receive as a TLC client? An endless supply of free mulch! Arborist mulch has been shown to reduce soil compaction and evaporation water loss, while also increasing soil mineral nutrients, tree health and overall growth. Our 9, 15, and 21-inch Bandit wood chippers can turn foliage, wood or entire trees into high quality mulch for your garden whenever you need it.
