What tree services do you offer in Narre Warren?
Are your arborists in Narre Warren qualified and insured?
Yes. Every job in Narre Warren is led by an AQF qualified arborist, our team works to Australian Standard AS 4373, and we carry $20 million public liability insurance.
Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Narre Warren?
Narre Warren is governed by the Casey Planning Scheme, which protects significant trees based on height and trunk circumference measurements. Trees above 5 metres or with a trunk circumference over 50cm at 1.4m above ground generally require a planning permit before removal. Significant Landscape Overlays in certain areas of Narre Warren add another layer of protection. Our arborists assess your specific tree and property before any work commences, so you have clarity on what's required and there are no regulatory surprises.
How long does it take to get a Casey Council tree removal permit?
Casey City Council permit applications typically take four to eight weeks to process once a complete application is lodged, including a supporting arborist report. The timeline can be affected by Council workload and the complexity of the application. For urgent situations, such as a tree posing an immediate safety risk, there are provisions for expedited assessment. We advise on the most efficient pathway for your specific circumstances and handle the application on your behalf.

How much does tree removal cost in Narre Warren?
Pricing varies significantly depending on tree size, species, location on the property, access conditions, proximity to structures and whether stump grinding is included. Indicative ranges: small removals from $500; medium trees from $750; large trees from $1,500; and complex large gum removals can exceed $5,000 depending on access and rigging requirements. A free on-site assessment is the only reliable way to get an accurate figure, call us on03 9988 9175 to arrange one.
Can you remove tree stumps in tight access areas in Narre Warren?
Yes. We carry compact tracked stump grinders designed specifically for confined-space work, capable of passing through a standard 900mm gate and operating in backyards with no direct machinery access. If you've been told a stump can't be removed because of access, it's worth getting a second opinion from us. We've completed stump grinding jobs in some very restricted spaces across Narre Warren's newer estates.
Do you leave the site clean after tree removal?
Full site cleanup is part of every job, it's not an add-on and there's no extra charge. All green waste is chipped and removed from the property. If you'd like the wood chips left behind as garden mulch, just let us know and we'll leave them in a suitable spot. When we pack up, your property should look noticeably better than when we arrived.
