Tree removal, pruning, stump grinding and 24/7 emergency tree services across Moorabbin — from Redback Tree Services, Bayside's trusted local arborists for over 15 years.
Moorabbin is a busy suburb with a mix of older residential homes, light industrial pockets and newer infill development. Lots here can be tight, and trees — particularly older gums, lilly pillies and pittosporums planted decades ago — often end up crowded against fences, sheds and neighbouring boundaries. It's exactly the kind of work our arborists do every week.
Redback Tree Services provides tree removal, pruning, stump grinding and emergency tree work across Moorabbin. We carry compact machinery suited to smaller block access, and our arborists are familiar with Kingston City Council's permit requirements for significant trees in the area.
Whether you're clearing a block for a renovation, dealing with a tree that's lifted a fence or needs a quick response after storm damage — give us a call.
Professional tree care for Moorabbin properties — from single-stump jobs to full canopy removals.
Safe removal of dead, hazardous or unwanted trees on Moorabbin residential and commercial properties. We use rigging and lowering techniques for trees near fences, structures and shared boundaries.

Straight answers to the questions Moorabbin residents ask us most.

Moorabbin sits within Kingston City Council. It's a mixed suburb — residential streets with established trees, older industrial pockets, and a lot of post-war homes where the gardens have had decades to grow. Some of those trees are now substantial, and Kingston's planning scheme has rules about what you can remove without permission.
We work Moorabbin and the surrounding Kingston area regularly. Post-war quarter-acre blocks often have older Eucalyptus, mature Cypress, and large ornamental trees that need experienced hands. Tight sites and close-to-boundary work are something we handle every week in this area.

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.
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.
Jason has been doing this work for over 25 years. That kind of experience doesn't come from a classroom — it comes from working through every difficult scenario you can imagine, on every type of property. He's across all aspects of tree work and is one of our go-to people for confined-space stump removal where access is tight. When something's tricky, Jason's usually who we call.
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.
