Complete Tree Removal Services in Eastern Melbourne and Nearby Suburbs

At Vantage Tree Services, we follow a systematic approach to ensure smooth and efficient tree removal. Our process includes:

​

1. Assessment:

   • A professional arborist will assess the tree's health, size, location, and any potential risks. They will determine the best approach for removal.

2. Quotation:

   • You will receive a detailed quote outlining the scope of work, services included, and the estimated cost. Ensure you understand the quote and ask any necessary questions.

3. Scheduling:

   • Once you agree to the quote, the removal will be scheduled. The timing may depend on factors like weather conditions, permits, and the company's availability.

4. Permits (if required):

   • Some areas may require permits for tree removal.

5. Preparation:

   • On the scheduled day, the removal team will arrive with equipment. They may take precautions to protect nearby structures and landscaping.

6. Tree Removal:

   • The arborists will use specialised equipment to safely remove the tree. This may involve cutting it down in sections or using cranes for larger trees.

7. Stump Removal (if requested):

   • If you opt for stump removal, the crew will use a stump grinder to eliminate the remaining tree stump.

8. Debris Cleanup:

   • After the tree is removed, the crew will clean up the debris, including branches, leaves and sawdust.

9. Final Inspection:

   • A final inspection of the site will be conducted to ensure all debris is cleared, and the property is left in a satisfactory condition. Ideally, this will be done with you present.

10. Payment and Documentation:

    • You'll receive an invoice, and after reviewing it, you can make the payment as agreed upon. We will then send out a receipt as proof of payment.

Getting a tree removed involves some obvious and not-so-obvious risks.

Visible Risks Include:​

​

1. Electrical Hazards: Trees near power lines pose a risk of electrical shock or outage during removal. A professional arborist should coordinate with utility companies to address this risk.

2. Equipment Use: The operation of heavy machinery, chainsaws, and other equipment during tree removal can lead to injuries if not handled properly.

3. Structural Damage: The falling tree or limbs can damage structures, fences, or other elements on the property if not carefully managed.

Hidden Risks Include: 

1. Inadequate Insurance Coverage: Some tree removal services may lack comprehensive insurance, exposing homeowners to potential liability in case of accidents, injuries, or property damage during the removal process.

2. Lack of Permits: Failure to secure necessary permits for tree removal can result in legal issues. 

3. Substandard Equipment: The use of outdated or poorly maintained equipment poses risks during tree removal. Professional services invest in modern, well-maintained machinery to ensure safety and efficiency.

4. Inadequate Cleanup/After-Service Care: Some services may not provide thorough cleanup after tree removal, leaving debris or causing damage to the property. A comprehensive service includes proper cleanup to leave the property in good condition.
