Bentleigh is a busy, well-connected suburb going through a lot of residential renewal. Original homes on larger blocks being replaced or renovated, which means plenty of tree clearance work — and also means more mature trees on tighter, subdivided blocks than there used to be. Our arborists work across Bentleigh regularly.
Redback Tree Services handles tree removal, pruning, stump grinding and emergency response across Bentleigh. We're across Glen Eira City Council's significant tree requirements and carry equipment suited to urban residential access — including smaller machinery for tighter jobs.

Bentleigh falls under Bayside City Council's planning scheme, which protects significant trees based on trunk circumference, height and canopy spread. Trees over the applicable thresholds require a permit before removal. Our arborists can assess your tree, measure it against Bayside's criteria and advise on whether a permit is needed before any work starts.
Yes. Pre-renovation and pre-demolition tree clearance is a regular part of our work in Bentleigh.

Cost depends on the tree — size, species, location, access and complexity all affect the price. Small removals start from around $400–$600; large trees or complex removals near structures can be $1,500–$3,000+. The only accurate way to price your specific job is an on-site assessment, which we provide free with no obligation.

Bentleigh is part of Glen Eira City Council, and Glen Eira takes its tree canopy seriously. The council's local laws protect trees across the municipality, and Bentleigh's mix of established residential streets and active redevelopment means tree removal applications come up regularly — and get looked at carefully.
Bentleigh has a dense residential character with a lot of mature street trees and garden specimens that have been there since the suburb was developed in the mid-20th century. We work this area often. Confined-access sites and trees near structures are routine for our team — we carry the equipment to handle jobs where there's not much room to work.
Common trees we work on in Bentleigh:
Bentleigh sits under Glen Eira City Council's Local Law No. 1, which protects significant trees across the municipality — on private land as well as streets.
We prepare Glen Eira permit applications and write the certified arborist reports needed to support them.
Get permit advice →Every job is led by a qualified arborist — not a labourer handed a chainsaw. Our team covers the full range of tree work, from technical pruning in tight residential gardens to large-scale removals and confined-space stump grinding. Here's who you're actually getting when you book with Redback.
Nathan is our lead consulting arborist with over 10 years of hands-on arboricultural experience across residential, commercial, and council work. Certified at Level 3 — the highest field qualification in the industry — he writes arborist reports for council permit applications, provides expert tree risk assessments, and oversees complex jobs across our service area. If you need a report that council will actually accept, Nathan writes it.
Matthew manages the day-to-day operations of our arborist crew and is hands-on alongside the team. Cert III qualified and across the full range of tree work — removal, pruning, hedge trimming, and stump grinding including confined-space jobs where standard equipment can't get in. If you're dealing with a stump in a tight backyard with no access, Matthew's done it before.
Brayden's focus is tree removal — specifically the kind others find difficult. Confined-space removals in tight back gardens, narrow side passages, or sites with limited equipment access are his specialty. Experienced in rigging and controlled dismantling techniques that let you take down a large tree piece by piece without damaging structures around it. The job you were told couldn't be done easily? Brayden probably can.
Wylie has spent over 30 years grinding stumps. That's not a job title — that's a level of experience you don't find anywhere else. He's worked every stump type, every access situation, and every species across Melbourne and its surrounds. When you need a stump ground cleanly with minimal disruption to the surrounding garden or paving, Wylie gets it done.
Ben holds a Certificate V in Arboriculture — one step above the standard trade qualification — and it shows in the work. He specialises in pruning large, established trees where technique and structural understanding matter, technical climb-and-cut work in confined spaces, and hedge trimming and maintenance programs for residential and commercial clients. If you've got a big tree that needs careful hands, Ben's the one on the rope.
Tom is a Level 3 qualified arborist with a particular strength in technical pruning — getting structure and form right, not just cutting branches off. He handles confined-space tree removals where access is limited and precision matters, and takes on hedge trimming programs across our residential client base. The kind of arborist who thinks before he cuts.
