Who we are
Let's be straight about it: Tree Loppers Melbourne is a tree service you can call direct. Our qualified, fully insured local crews handle the work across the metro — and we make sure the right questions get asked before any of it happens.
We work this way for a reason. Tree work is specialised, high-risk and heavily regulated, and the right crew for a 30-metre mountain ash on a steep Ferntree Gully block isn't necessarily the right crew for a heritage elm in a tight Hawthorn garden. Rather than sending one generalist to everything, we put the job with a crew that does that kind of work, in that part of Melbourne, day in and day out.
How we work
- You call or send the form. Tell us the tree, your suburb, the access and what's worrying you.
- We send an insured local crew. Matched to the job and the area, with the right gear and cover.
- They quote on site, free. A crew inspects, flags any council permit issues, and gives you a fixed written price — no surprises.
- The work gets done and cleaned up. Cut, chipped, ground, mulched or hauled away — your choice — and the site left tidy.
Why the council rule comes first
The single biggest mistake we see is people removing a protected tree without checking the rules — and the fines for that run into the tens of thousands in some Melbourne councils. There's no one tree law across the city; Merri-bek, Boroondara, Knox, Greater Dandenong, Casey, Frankston, Yarra Ranges and the Mornington Peninsula Shire all set their own thresholds and overlays. Before a crew quotes, we check the rule for your specific address, and where a council wants justification we can arrange a certified arborist report to support the application.
What you can count on
- Insured local crews — public liability cover and the right certifications for the work.
- 24/7 emergency response — storm damage and fallen trees don't keep business hours.
- Free, no-obligation quotes — an upfront, written price before anyone starts.
- Melbourne-wide coverage — from Brunswick to Mornington and most suburbs in between.

Frequently asked questions
What kind of tree work do you handle?
The full range — removals, lopping and pruning, stump grinding and removal, palm work, arborist reports, emergency storm response, and mulching and chipping. Our qualified, insured local crews carry public liability insurance and the certifications for the work they do. Whatever your tree, your suburb and your budget, we match the right crew to the job, and we make sure the council permit question gets asked before anyone starts.
What areas do you cover?
Greater Melbourne. Our crews work the inner north around Brunswick, through the leafy east at Hawthorn, out to the Dandenong Ranges fringe at Ferntree Gully, down the south-east corridor through Springvale, Dandenong and Cranbourne, and along the bay to Frankston and Mornington — plus the CBD and inner suburbs. See the areas we serve for the full list.
Are your crews insured?
Yes. Our crews carry public liability insurance and the certifications for the work they do. Tree work is high-risk, and an uninsured operator on your property is a liability you don't want. If you ever want to see a crew's insurance before they start, just ask — it's a fair question and a good habit.
