Need tree services in Macleod? Tomahawk Tree Services helps local homeowners and property owners sort out tricky trees, overgrown branches, stubborn stumps and vegetation that needs a proper plan.
Macleod is a quiet residential suburb with established street trees, mature gardens and the kind of properties where tree canopies have had years to spread. Trees here are often big, sometimes overcrowded and occasionally growing into spaces they were never really meant to occupy. Whether it's a large gum that's outgrown the block or a hedge that's taken on a life of its own, we scope the job properly before we start.
We provide tree removal, tree trimming, stump grinding, tree maintenance, tree cleanup and chipping and hedge maintenance across Macleod and nearby areas. Because Macleod sits within Banyule City Council, some tree work may need council advice or a permit before it begins. We can help you understand what needs checking before work starts.
We specialise in tree pruning, removal, stump grinding, and emergency tree care services. Our team comprises certified arborists and trained professionals dedicated to delivering quality results while prioritising safety and environmental sustainability.

It depends on the tree and what overlays apply to your property. Banyule's Significant Tree Register includes some trees in Macleod, and Vegetation Protection Overlays affect parts of the suburb. Not every tree requires a permit, but significant specimens and those in overlay zones typically do. The quickest way to check is via Banyule's planning portal using your property address. We're happy to help you work out what applies before we quote.
A proper assessment is the only way to know for sure. Things that warrant closer attention: significant lean toward a structure, large dead branches in the canopy, cracks or cavities in the trunk, fungal growth at the base, or a history of limb drop. Some of these indicate genuine structural risk; others can be managed without removal. We can assess the tree and give you an honest recommendation rather than just quoting for the job.
It depends on whether it's a council street tree or a tree on your private property. If it's on the nature strip or in the road reserve, it's technically Banyule's responsibility to manage. If the tree is on your property and the roots are extending under the footpath, the picture is more complicated and may involve both you and council. We can help identify the tree's ownership and advise on the most practical next steps.
Carefully, and with proper planning. Narrow side access is one of the most common constraints we work with in Macleod, and we assess the exact width and any obstacles during the quote visit. Trees in confined backyards are removed in sections and lowered rather than felled — which means we don't need a large access path, just a clear enough one to work with. We'll tell you exactly what the job involves before we start.
