Being located in the Dandenong Ranges region, we understand how specific climate conditions impact tree vitality and wood rot.

Stump Grinding and Site Clearing
A stump left behind after a tree is cut can be a trip hazard and a home for pests. We provide efficient stump grinding Heathmont services to clear the area completely.

We also offer stump grinding services in Bayswater, ensuring your yard remains clean and functional long after the tree is removed.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Assume yes until it is checked. Under a significant landscape overlay, which covers much of Maroondah's residential land, a permit is needed for any tree over five metres tall or with a trunk circumference above half a metre at one metre up. Either measure on its own is enough. Heritage and character overlays catch removal too.
Not automatically. Maroondah accepts an exemption where a suitably qualified person declares in writing that the tree is dead or dying, and that declaration is kept for council verification. Under a vegetation protection overlay the exemption falls away, because even dead or fallen native trees need a permit.
Decline rather than damage. Maroondah's vegetation strategy names stringybark decline among the main causes of canopy loss across the municipality, and it shows as progressive thinning from the top down over several seasons. A declining tree is not a dead one, so the exemption usually will not apply.
A current copy of the title and any covenant, dated within the last three months, a site plan marking the trees, and the reasons for removal. Photographs and a replanting plan help but are not compulsory. The title requirement is the one that most often holds an application up.
It asks for more than a climber. For a tree assessed as dangerous, and for any declaration that a tree is dead or dying, Maroondah looks for a report from an arborist qualified to diploma level, which is the qualification geared to assessment and reporting rather than cutting.
Because there is more canopy to protect. Maroondah recorded 27.1 per cent tree canopy cover against a metropolitan Melbourne average of 15.4 per cent, and much of that sits on private land. Bayswater falls in Knox and Mooroolbark in Yarra Ranges, so the triggers change across those boundaries.
Next step tree removals were fantastic. Removed trees from my pool area. The did an amazing job, left the site clean and tidy and were best priced by far and very professional at their job.
