Tree Services Melbourne | Local Arborist Services Without the Drama
Need tree services in Melbourne? Tomahawk Tree Services helps local homeowners and property owners sort out tricky trees, overgrown branches, stubborn stumps and vegetation that needs a proper plan.
Melbourne's inner city has a mix of compact residential properties, converted commercial buildings and some of the city's most significant street tree canopies. Tree work in the inner city is almost always in constrained conditions, often within metres of historic buildings, shared walls and pedestrian areas. Equipment access can be complex, and jobs require careful assessment to make sure the tree and the surrounding area are both protected throughout.
We provide tree removal, tree trimming, stump grinding, tree maintenance, tree cleanup and chipping and hedge maintenance across Melbourne and nearby areas. Because Melbourne sits within Melbourne 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.

Tree questions from arround
Melbourne
Melbourne City Council has one of the more robust tree protection frameworks in Victoria, including a Significant Tree Register and a planning scheme that actively protects established trees. For residential properties in the Melbourne area, any tree meeting size thresholds or appearing on the significant tree register requires council approval before removal. The emphasis is on retention where possible. Check the Melbourne City Council planning portal for your specific address.
In an owners corporation situation, trees in common areas are the responsibility of the owners corporation, not individual lot owners. Any decision to remove or significantly prune a common garden tree would typically require a majority vote of the owners corporation, as well as any council approvals that apply. If you're a lot owner with a concern, raise it with the owners corporation committee.
Yes. Some trees on Melbourne City Council's Significant Tree Register have a heritage or cultural significance that makes removal permits effectively impossible to obtain without extraordinary circumstances, such as catastrophic structural failure. The register is publicly searchable. If your tree is on it, an honest conversation early about the realistic options is more useful than pursuing a permit application that's unlikely to succeed.
Yes, with careful planning. Work near properties in the inner city involves considerations around pedestrian safety, vehicle access, and in some cases working within time windows. We've worked in constrained city environments and plan each job accordingly.
