TREE CUTTING IN MELBOURNE

Overgrown, damaged, or unwanted trees cut back safely across Doncaster, Box Hill, Balwyn, Kew and surrounding suburbs. Every cut is planned around access, drop zones, and what’s around the tree.

WHEN YOU NEED TREE CUTTING

Branches hanging over the roof, gutters, or driveway
Limbs that have grown into powerlines or the back fence
Storm-damaged or split branches
Dead sections of an otherwise healthy tree
Trees that have grown too tall for the block
DIY trimming that needs finishing properly

WHAT'S INCLUDED

Sam’s Team will assess the tree in person or from your photos, plan a drop zone, set up rope work where needed, and cut the branches or sections you’ve agreed on. Cleanup is included if you want it — green waste hauled away, or chipped on-site as mulch. The job ends with the site walked through and tidied.

WHAT AFFECTS YOUR QUOTE

Tree size, species, and condition
Access — backyard, narrow side gates, slope
Risk — proximity to fences, sheds, pools, powerlines
Equipment needed (cherry picker, climbing, ropes)
Green waste removal vs. mulch on-site
Whether stump grinding is also wanted

Sam and his team completed tree lopping and stump grinding. The work was completed with efficiency and care. Happy to recommend him to friends and also use him again.

Sam Tree Services did an excellent job removing a large gum tree in my backyard. The team was professional, efficient, and left no damage. Highly recommend!

Did a professional job. We had a very tight access but Sam and his team manage to get through it very professionally. Definitely recommend them.

Sam and his team were simply fantastic to deal with. We had large mature trees, riddled with rot and termite damage, close to the fence line… not an easy brief. Their work was faultless. The yard was cleared, the small branches and leaf litter gone, remains of the trunks were neatly ready for us to prepare for firewood. Sam’s team swept up our yard, the path, the driveway and sidewalk, even the neighbours yards. A few weeks later, when I called to see if he could remove the stumps, he was back in a flash. I could not have been more pleased with his work. I heartily recommend Sam to anyone looking to work with serious professionals who care about providing a great service.

Very poor experience, no communication, work is half done and they have left, I have not made payment yet, they said they would come by today to clean up, it's 8pm and no message or update. Their personal rubbish has been left behind in my lawn, coffee cups and water bottles, I literally gave they all the hospitality and let them have any drinks in my outdoor fridge and this is how they treat it. They have rummaged through my cricket bag which was in the backyard, my cameras show they playing with my gear. COMPLETELY UNPROFRESSIONAL. Didn't even come on time, I had to call and ask where they are. Quote included removal of all waste, but theres still a heap of logs in the front yard. Cowboy tradies, not real tradies - pay more to get the real deal elsewhere, i wish i did.

COMMON QUESTIONS ABOUT TREE WORK

How long does a tree cutting job take?

Anywhere from an hour for a small branch through to a full day for larger work — Sam will give you a realistic time when he quotes.

Will my fence or garden be damaged?

No. Drop zones are planned, ropes are used where needed, and protective measures go in for fences, pools, sheds, and gardens.

Do you remove the cut branches?

Yes — green waste removal can be included in the quote, or branches can be chipped on-site and left as mulch.

Do I need council approval for tree cutting?

Sometimes — it depends on tree size, species, and your council’s rules. Sam can help you work out what to check first.
