Tree removal Greensborough
Greensborough mixes older homes on full-size blocks with new townhouses, and tree removal is a different job in each. We quote on site, fix the price before work starts and take every branch away.
Is Greensborough in Banyule or Nillumbik?
In Greensborough, the council for your tree can be Banyule City Council or Nillumbik Shire Council, depending on your address. We check which council covers your street, then ask them about your tree. You'll hear what they said before any work is booked.
Townhouses, units and older family homes
Around the town centre and the Plaza, a lot of old blocks have been split into two or three townhouses. A tree that once had a whole backyard to itself can now stand a few metres from two homes.
When a tree is that close, we take it down in small sections from the top. Each piece is lowered on a rope into a drop zone, a marked patch of ground we keep everyone out of.
Further out, and along the Plenty River, the blocks are bigger and the gums are taller. Those jobs are more about reach and carrying the timber out than about tight spaces.
Townhouses with shared land
If your townhouse shares a driveway or garden with the neighbours, the tree may be on common property, the land all the owners share. Check with your owners corporation, the group that runs the shared parts, before booking work.
Street trees on the nature strip, the grass by the kerb, are a question for whichever council covers your address.
