Why Tree Work in Berwick Needs Qualified Arborists
Berwick has a mix of mature eucalypts, cypress hedges, ornamental maples and established gardens — many growing close to roofs, pools and boundary fences. These trees are beautiful, but when they become overgrown, storm-damaged or hazardous, they require qualified arborists to manage risks safely and correctly.
Trusted Berwick Tree Services & Arborist Support
Our Level 3 & Level 5 Arborists can identify structural defects, decay, storm damage and future risks that aren’t visible to most people — helping prevent costly problems before they happen.
We follow AS 4373 — Pruning of Amenity Trees and modern sectional removal techniques that protect roofs, gardens and neighbouring properties.
Berwick is part of the City of Casey, where many zones have vegetation protections and overlays. We provide a free tree-permit check to help you avoid fines or delays.
From detailed Arborist Reports to emergency response after storms — we handle everything from start to finish with full insurance and compliance.
Tree Removal in Berwick — When It’s Needed & What’s Involved
Tree removal in Berwick is usually required when a tree becomes a safety hazard, causes property damage or is no longer suitable for the landscape or council rules. Our arborists inspect the whole tree structure — trunk, roots, lean, targets, decay and wind exposure — before recommending the safest method.
Many Berwick removals involve mature eucalypts near houses, pools or fences, so we specialise in sectional dismantling with ropes, rigging and cranes where needed. We also handle permits when City of Casey requires approval.
Safety-Driven Removal
Controlled rigging around roofs, pools & neighbouring properties. We protect what matters.
Tight Access & Crane Work
Ideal for sloping blocks in Old Berwick and lakeside homes around Berwick Springs.
Permit Support Included
We organise permit checks & Level 5 Arborist reports where required by City of Casey.
Every removal includes clean-up and chipping. You can keep mulch or have us take everything away. We also provide
affordable stump grinding so the space can be re-used immediately.

Tree Removal Permits in Berwick (City of Casey)
Many Berwick properties fall under City of Casey vegetation protections, meaning council approval may be needed before removing a tree — especially native species or trees above certain size thresholds.
We provide a free permit check and take care of paperwork, including Level 5 Arborist Reports where required.
- You may need a permit if the tree is protected by overlays or classified as significant
- Fines can apply if a tree is removed without approval
- We speak to council on your behalf to avoid delays
If your property borders Clyde North or Narre Warren South, local rules can vary — our arborists confirm exactly what applies to your address.

FAQs — Tree Removal, Permits & Arborists in Berwick
1. Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Berwick?
You may need approval from City of Casey if the tree is native, large or covered by an overlay. To avoid fines, we provide a free permit check before any work begins. We can also supply Level 5 Arborist Reports if council requires one.
2. How much does tree removal cost in Berwick?
Costs typically range from $450 – $5,500+ depending on height, access, hazards, and rigging requirements. Large gums near structures or powerlines cost more. We provide itemised quotes after a free on-site inspection.
3. How do I know if my tree is dangerous?
Signs include leaning, cracks, root damage, fungus, hollow trunk, or branches dropping unexpectedly. Our arborists use accepted industry risk assessments to determine if removal or pruning is safest.
4. Can you remove storm-damaged trees urgently?
Yes. We provide 24/7 emergency response with fast callouts for fallen or split trees. We secure the scene and work with insurers for safe, compliant restoration.
5. What happens to the waste after removal?
All wood and branches are chipped and removed unless you want the mulch left on site for gardens. We leave every Berwick site clean and tidy.
6. Do you offer stump grinding in Berwick?
Yes — stump grinding ensures roots stop regrowing and allows you to replant or landscape straight away. Learn more at our stump service page.
7. Can you prune overhanging branches from a neighbour’s property?
Yes, but you must follow Victorian boundary laws and ensure AS 4373 pruning standards. We can manage neighbour communication for a smooth process.
8. Are you fully insured?
Absolutely — our crews carry $20M public liability insurance and industry-leading safety systems. Documents available on request.
9. Do you provide arborist reports for development?
Yes. Level 5 consulting arborists prepare reports for subdivisions, extensions, pools and planning applications.
10. How long does tree removal take?
Most trees in Berwick take 2–6 hours, but complex rigging or crane work can extend timing. We give accurate scheduling before starting.
11. Can you remove a tree close to a house?
Yes. We specialise in sectional dismantling using ropes and cranes to protect structures, pools and fencing.
12. Are roots damaging my house?
Cracked paths, lifting driveways or blocked drains can indicate root intrusion. We assess risks and explain whether removal or pruning is best.
13. What areas of Berwick do you service?
Everywhere — including Berwick Springs, Old Berwick, Eden Rise, Clyde North border, Narre Warren South border and surrounding estates.
14. Do you quote before starting any work?
Yes — we provide free on-site quotes with clear pricing and options to suit your budget.
15. Can you just prune instead of removing a tree?
Absolutely. We follow AS 4373 to improve structure and reduce hazards where full removal isn’t needed.
16. Do you help with neighbour disputes about trees?
Yes — we offer professional assessments and unbiased reports for boundary issues and liability concerns.
17. How soon can you start after approval?
Once the quote is accepted and any required permits are confirmed, we typically schedule work within 2–7 days.
