FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
FAQs
Do I need a permit for tree work?
It depends on the council, overlays and site conditions. Trusted Tree Services can advise during the quote on whether permits are likely to be needed and point you in the right direction. In Yarra Ranges, a planning permit is generally required to remove a tree from private property unless an exemption applies; Knox says a planning permit is required for tree removal or pruning on private property; and Cardinia says you may need a permit depending on planning controls, overlays and land size.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Trusted Tree Services carries $10 million public liability insurance and WorkCover insurance for staff. That is one reason clients looking for an insured arborist service can feel more confident booking the work.
How much does tree work cost?
The cost depends on the size and condition of the tree, access, the equipment required, how much material is being removed and the complexity of the site. The most accurate way to price the work is with a site visit and a quote.
What services do you provide?
Tree removal, pruning, stump grinding and stump removal, site clearing, bushfire hazard reduction, hedge trimming, storm damage clean-up and 24-hour emergency tree services.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes. Urgent work is prioritised where possible, including after-hours and weekend emergencies.
Will you clean up after the job?
Yes. Clean-up is part of the service, and the quote will clearly set out what is included.
Can you advise whether a tree should be pruned or removed?
Yes. One of the biggest benefits of working with a qualified team is getting practical advice on whether pruning, weight reduction, removal or staged work is the best fit for the tree and the site.
Do you work with schools, councils and developers?
Yes. Trusted Tree Services works across residential, rural, commercial and public-sector settings.
How do I get a quote?
Call, email or use the enquiry form. Mike or Jess will arrange a suitable site visit and send through a written quote afterwards.
