Arborist pruning a tree canopy — Tree pruning and trimming in Hunt Club

Tree pruning and trimming in Hunt Club

Our tree pruning in Hunt Club is done by climbers who know where to cut and where to leave alone. Tree trimming in Hunt Club usually means taking weight off limbs over roofs, lifting the canopy over driveways and thinning dense crowns so wind and light can get through.

Every tree trimming service in Hunt Club we carry out follows AS 4373, so you get practical tree pruning solutions that keep the tree healthy for years, not a quick hack that grows back worse. If you want regular visits, we can set up a pruning plan for your property.

Deadwooding before storm season
Clearance from roofs, gutters and wires

Stump grinder working in a Melbourne garden — Stump grinding and stump removal in Hunt Club

Stump grinding and stump removal in Hunt Club

An old stump trips people, sends up suckers and attracts termites. We grind stumps in Hunt Club below ground level so you can lay turf, plant a garden bed or pave over the spot.

Machines range from narrow units that fit through a standard side gate to large tracked grinders for big gum stumps.

Our tree stump grinder in Hunt Club works on stumps of every size, from small shrubs to large gums. As a local arborist in Hunt Club, we choose the machine to suit your access: narrow grinders for side gates, larger tracked units for big stumps in open yards.

A typical stump grinding service in Hunt Club takes under an hour per stump. We grind below the surface, chase the main surface roots and either backfill the hole or leave it clean and ready for soil and turf.

Ground 200 to 300mm below the surface
Narrow machines for side gates
Surface roots chased out
Grindings backfilled or removed

When Do You Need Tree Removal Services in Hunt Club?

Not every problem tree has to come down, but these are the signs that it is time to get an arborist to look at it.

The tree is dead or dying

Bare branches in the growing season, peeling bark and no new growth mean the tree is losing strength and will start dropping limbs.

It is leaning more than it used to

A new lean, cracked soil or a lifting root plate on one side are signs the roots are failing. This needs looking at quickly.

Roots are damaging the property

Lifted paving, cracked driveways and blocked drains are common signs that roots have outgrown the space.

Branches hang over the roof

Heavy limbs over bedrooms, carports or the neighbour's house are a risk in strong wind, even on a healthy tree.

Fungus or cavities in the trunk

Mushrooms at the base, bracket fungi or hollow sections can mean internal decay that is not visible from outside.

You are renovating or building

Trees inside a building footprint or a tree protection zone need a plan, and sometimes a permit, before work starts.

Yes. Our climbers prune fruit trees, hedges and screening plants as well as large trees, and can do them in the same visit.
