Tree Services Preston | Local Arborist Services Without the Drama
Need tree services in Preston? Tomahawk Tree Services helps local homeowners and property owners sort out tricky trees, overgrown branches, stubborn stumps and vegetation that needs a proper plan.
Preston is a densely developed inner-northern suburb where properties are often compact and trees in backyards and along fence lines don't have a lot of room to move. That tight environment is exactly where tree work gets tricky. Narrow side access, trees growing through fences, root systems interfering with pipes and paths, and large trees on small blocks that have simply outgrown their space are all common situations we deal with in Preston.
We provide tree removal, tree trimming, stump grinding, tree maintenance, tree cleanup and chipping and hedge maintenance across Preston and nearby areas. Because Preston sits within Darebin 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
Preston
Yes, and the rules can catch people by surprise. Darebin has a Significant Landscape Overlay across large parts of the council area, which means trees above certain size thresholds require a planning permit before they can be removed or significantly pruned. Preston is one of the inner suburbs where this overlay is commonly in effect. Check the planning maps for your specific address before proceeding with any work.
Most likely yes, if the tree meets the SLO thresholds for Preston. Darebin's overlay doesn't distinguish between tree species or whether the tree is causing problems. It applies based on size. If the tree qualifies, you'll need to lodge a planning permit application and demonstrate the grounds for removal. We can provide supporting documentation and help you understand what's involved.
Root damage in tight suburban gaps is common on older Preston properties. Options depend on what's causing it and how the tree sits. Root pruning, root barriers, or in some cases removal may be appropriate. We'd assess the situation and tell you what's genuinely the best option rather than just quoting the most expensive one.
Yes. Preston has plenty of properties with no rear lane and tight side passages. We're experienced in working in confined spaces and can section work so material is removed in pieces rather than requiring a clear swing zone. We'll walk the site before we quote and plan accordingly.
