About us

About Tomahawk

Tomahawk Tree Services goes back three generations, though it didn't start out as tree work.

Tom's Opa ran a sawmill up in Benalla and did arborist work on the side. He knew timber better than most people know their own backyard. Tom's parents went a different way with it, running a sugar gum plantation and selling firewood. The family was always around wood, just not always cutting it off someone's property.

Tom grew up in the middle of that. Stacking wood, learning about different tree types, picking up bits of how his Opa used to talk about trees. By the time he trained as an arborist himself, everyone in the family had already spent their whole lives around timber in one way or another.

These days that's Tomahawk, servicing Melbourne's Northern Suburbs, Kilmore, Broadford, Wallan, Seymour, Nagambie and everywhere in between.

FAQs

Have questions?

Do you provide arborist reports for council permit applications?

Yes. We can assess a tree and provide a written arborist report covering its condition, any risks, and our recommendation, which you can submit as part of a council permit application.

Can you work within council-approved contractor requirements?

We carry full public liability insurance and our arborists are qualified to the standard councils expect. If your council has specific contractor requirements, let us know before the job and we'll confirm we meet them.

Do you handle tree work on public reserves and road corridors?

Yes, we regularly work on public land including reserves, road verges and council-managed green space, with public safety planned in before work starts.

What areas do you service for council and government work?

We service Kilmore, Broadford, Wallan, Seymour, Nagambie and the surrounding shire, and can travel further for larger government contracts. Get in touch with your location and we'll confirm.
