What do tree surgeon services include?

From supplying oxygen to absorbing rainwater, trees offer countless benefits. But it’s always a two-way relationship—trees can’t give us what we need when they’re sick or worse, dead. 


Good thing there’s a pool of tree surgeons in Airtasker who can do the dirty work and handle dangerous processes for us. The tree size, condition, species and location help the expert on reaching the right solution. Expect them to do pruning, lopping, trimming, and more. Specialists in tree maintenance near you perform these tasks by sophisticated climbing at great heights and rigging techniques. 


Keeping your landscape in good shape by exploring these services:


Tree felling and removal

Diseased, dead, or unsafe? If your trees meet the criteria, felling is the way to go. The process involves cutting the trees down to prevent diseases from spreading to surrounding trees, moreover boosting safety in the area. Some clients also request tree felling for aesthetic purposes.


Meanwhile, tree removal means the roots, stumps, fallen branches, and the entire tree get removed.


Felling or removing a tree is a dangerous task involving specialised equipment, so it’s a must to hire a knowledgeable tree surgeon for this. For extra peace of mind, you can also book an arborist to work side-by-side with your tree surgeon, as they are trained to diagnose trees and recommend safe solutions.


Tree pruning, cutting, lopping or trimming

If diseased or dead wood is present, the tree surgeon will need to remove them, which is what pruning is about. It also boosts the growth of fruit and flower buds.


Meanwhile, tree lopping or trimming effectively modifies a tree’s shape. This is done by cutting branches and training them to grow in a specific direction. It is often focused on aesthetics. If this is not properly maintained, branches can become unwieldy, growing in various directions.


Your Tasker may also do crown thinning on a tree. This consists of removing select branches to increase light penetration and reduce crown weight. 


Overall, pruning, lopping, and cutting stimulate and control growth in trees.


  • Stump removal

A tree surgeon near you can also grind down and remove unsightly or bulky stumps. This process may demand a specialised stump grinding machine, which can completely destroy the tree’s stump and root system.


  • Tree pollarding

Have you ever encountered the term “lollipop trees”? They are the result of pollarding with the purpose of aesthetics. 


Apart from that, though, tree pollarding keeps a tree from outgrowing its bounds on a private landscape, or even encroaching electrical wires. Whether placed in streets, parks, or small spaces, trees can be compact. Once you pollard a tree, you’ll have to repeat the process every year or two throughout the tree’s life. This means you may need constant landscaping or gardening maintenance.

Dispose of stumps and roots that have already been ground

$150

Kuraby QLD 4112, Australia

13th Dec 2024

I have already dug up some stumps and roots. All I ask is that you load them onto your trailer and dispose of them. The stumps include palm trees and golden cane. They are heavy for one person to carry, so they will probably need to be cut with a chainsaw. I work from home, so it doesn't matter if it's a weekday or weekend. You can pick them up after your other job. If you are interested in the large garden rock in the photo, I will provide it to you free of charge.

Hi, I need someone to remove the palm tree trumps near our pool area. There are 3 strumps from a palm (2 large ones) and a couple of smaller stumps. Also, assist with the removal of that palm tree in the corner. I think there are 3 palm tree stumps and 2-3 smaller ones which shouldn't take too long. I'm flexible with when this can be done and I want someone that's insured and has had experience with this type of work as it's near a pool and i dont want any damage to come out of it.

Palm trees thinned out, trimmed and waste disposal

$250

Coorparoo QLD, Australia

1st Oct 2024

Three stands of palm trees in our rental that need the new growth trimmed down and the higher fronds trimmed. I have some waste disposal vouchers but no means of transporting so removal of waste is also required.

Didn't show up at the agreed time or respond to my messages until late that evening. When she did respond it wasnt very apologetic, but I ended up rescheduling for the next day . Quite efficient and nice enough in person, however was not able to fully complete the task as requested with the tools she had. Left without knocking to let me know she was done and the back gate was left open with a trail of small garden waste over the lawn.

I have had 3 trees cut down and am looking for the 3 x stumps to be either removed or taken down as low as possible. I am in a townhouse with side access, however there is a fixed panel under the gate which make trolley type access difficult. If the stumps can’t be fully removed looking for a creative way to have them levelled with the ground.
