Services
The three jobs people ring about
Most calls are about one of three things. Each one is quoted on site, in writing, before a date is booked.
Whole trees taken down in sections where there is no room to fell them, the timber chipped or cut to length, and the lawn raked before the crew leaves.

Deadwood out, limbs lifted off roofs and gutters, and crowns thinned so a tree can stay rather than go.

Stumps ground below the surface so the ground can be turfed or planted, or left in place where that suits the garden better.

How it works
From the first call to a clear garden
Nothing happens without a written quote you have agreed to.
Tell us about the tree
Call or send the form with the tree and what is worrying you.
A contractor comes to see it
A local tree contractor looks at the tree, the access and whatever sits underneath it, because a quote off a photo misses the things that change the job.
A written quote
The quote sets out the scope, what happens to the timber and the stump, and the date. It is the contractor's quote, and nothing starts until you accept it.
The work and the clean up
On the day the tree is dealt with as quoted, the green waste leaves on the truck and the lawn is raked.

Questions
What people ask before booking
Do I need a council permit to take this tree out?
It depends on the tree, the property and the planning controls on it, and the rules differ between the councils across the region. The permit position is checked before the job is quoted, so it is not a surprise afterwards.
What happens to the wood?
Your call. The quote says whether branches are chipped and taken away, whether the trunk is cut into rounds and left, or a mix of both.
Can it be pruned instead of removed?
Often, yes. Removal is not the only answer, and a contractor who has seen the tree can say whether pruning will do the job.
Who is responsible for the work?
The contractor who quotes the job does the work and is responsible for it. Geelong Tree Care arranges the introduction and passes your enquiry on.
How does equipment get down the side of the house?
That is one of the things the site visit is for. Narrow side access, garden beds and fences all change how a tree comes down, which is why quotes are not given off a photo.
