24.01.2022 One of my favourite things about working amongst the canopy is the unique perspective I get on the gardens and places we visit. Here is a unique perspective of a Mudlark nest, attached to a Southern Mahogany limb over some very nicely clipped Correa balls.

24.01.2022 Some balancing and weight reduction for these gum trees on a lovely rural property in Balnarring. The fragile garden beds below were left perfectly intact. Give Jamie a call on 0438993720 for a quote!

24.01.2022 Something a little bit different. Carving a boardwalk into a large fallen Mana gum to create a bridge over Splitters creek. Give Jamie a call on 0438993720 for a quote!

22.01.2022 This tree serves as a good reminder of how important it is to have your trees inspected. From the ground this Eucalyptus botryoides (Southern Mahogany) looked perfectly healthy and structurally sound. However an aerial inspection revealed these pockets of water in nearly every branch union. This is caused by cockatoos, which chew out the unions so that limbs tear out and eventually create hollows for future generations. A very clever evolutionary trait, however not ideal if these limbs overhang your house! The size of these branches and their proximity to the house, the exposed location of the tree and the high level of pedestrian activity underneath deemed it high risk. It was scheduled for removal and will be replaced by another indigenous tree. For a tree inspection or a quote, feel free to contact Jamie on 0438993720.

16.01.2022 A dynamic situation... It was down tools and straight to Flinders. From phone call to job completion in under 2 hours, fortunately the dwelling was unscathed! Give Jamie a call on 0438993720 for a quote!

15.01.2022 You could be forgiven for struggling to see the association between tree work and habitat creation. Where possible and safe, we can re-purpose dead trees into ‘habitat poles’ to target a range of local species. We do so by having hollows that have specific dimensions, shapes and orientations. This sequence shows the process of carving a hollow out of a dead gum tree which had all of the hazardous sections removed. ... Carving a hollow instead of installing a prebuilt one has numerous benefits such as the insulating properties the trunk of the tree has to regulate the temperature inside the hollow and the discrete appearance of these hollows which also adds value from an aesthetic point of view. To get in touch about creating some habitat, call Jamie on 0438993720.

13.01.2022 Removing deadwood and installing possum guards today in Red Hill. Give Jamie a call on 0438993720 for a quote!

13.01.2022 Some of the fallout from last week’s wild weather Even though the stormy weather has passed, it is worth doing a quick check of the trees around your property as they may have sustained structural damage during the storm. Things to look for:... - Splits and cracks - Raised ground around the base of the tree (caused by roots lifting) - Increased lean - Hanging Branches - Leaching Sap These are signs of a potentially dangerous tree, so it pays to be observant. If you have a tree you feel may need immediate attention get in touch on 0438993720. Otherwise we’ll be back after stage 4!

12.01.2022 Some precise rigging was required to squeeze this Corymbia citriodora between the shed and fence today. Give Jamie a call on 0438993720 for a quote!

11.01.2022 Inside the canopy doing some very fine pruning, the best place to be on a hot morning. Give Jamie a call on 0438993720 for a quote!

09.01.2022 Flat across the tops - some subtle view enhancements and thinning on the cliff tops of Flinders this afternoon. Give Jamie a call on 0438993720 for a quote!

08.01.2022 We feel very privileged to care for this hedge in Flinders that is more than 100 years old! Careful periodic trimming (3 times a year) and sharp clean tools are what give the hedge its straight, dense appearance. If you would like your hedge trimmed, give Jamie a call on 0438993720.

08.01.2022 Don't put off having your trees trimmed this winter for fear of having your lawn torn up by heavy machinery! Our compact but capable four wheel drive utility which tows our lightest in its class wood chipper, allows us to tread lightly around your property and go where other tree services simply can't. Winter is the perfect time to be pruning. Particularly deciduous species such as Elm and Oak trees which are susceptible to Dutch Elm Disease and Oak Wilt. The pathogens, like ...the trees, are dormant in winter so pruning now greatly decreases the chances of spreading the disease. Most fruit trees are also best pruned in winter. When they are leafless the structure is clearer, allowing us to place our cuts more accurately. Pruning in winter will also greatly increase fruit production by forcing the tree to put all its energy into productive (retained) branches in spring. If you are interested in having your trees pruned by a company that leaves a smaller footprint, don't hesitate to call Jamie on 0438993720!

07.01.2022 Tight quarters rigging between these two houses in Flinders! This declining Ash tree required removal after multiple limb failures. Give Jamie a call on 0438993720 for a quote!

06.01.2022 A truly satisfying morning removing deadwood and decaying limbs from this large Corymbia ficifolia (Flowering Gum). This excellent specimen is suffering from insect and possum damage, but was unsuitable for possum guarding. Hopefully this hazard reduction work means it will stay standing for years to come. Feel free to give Jamie a call on 0438993720 for a quote!

06.01.2022 Hedges of all shapes and sizes today. Give Jamie a call on 0438993720 for a quote!

04.01.2022 A day of neatening... removing those dead, damaged and untidy lateral limbs on this row of cypresses. Give Jamie a call on 0438993720 for a quote!

04.01.2022 A terrific sunrise to start a morning of hazard reduction pruning for the Flinders Yacht Club. The aim was to reduce the likelihood of limb loss during high winds and storms. Give Jamie a call on 0438993720 for a quote!

03.01.2022 An exciting weekend in East Gippsland working with Wetland & Wildlife Creations! This large environmental restoration project involved removing these large poplar trees (which are an invasive species) and installing these log nesting boxes. Nice to work in another beautiful part of the world.

02.01.2022 This sugar gum had a limb snap and hang precariously over the driveway during recent high winds in Mt Martha. The limb was lowered safely to the ground and the tree got a bonus spruce up while we were up there. Give Jamie a call on 0438993720 for a quote!
