Tree removal Montmorency
Montmorency is hilly, so tree removal there often ends with carrying the timber up a steep driveway. We look at the tree, give you a fixed price and clean up once it's down.
Which council covers trees in Montmorency?
Montmorency is in Banyule City Council's area. Whether your tree needs their approval depends on the tree and your planning controls, the rules the council sets for your area. Before work is booked, we check it with Banyule and tell you what they've said.
Hilly streets and established gardens
A lot of Montmorency gardens have gums that are now taller than the house beside them. When one has to go, the first question is where the cut pieces can land.
The streets climb and drop, and a lot of driveways are steep. We plan where the truck parks, and how each cut piece gets back up the slope, before we start.
On the western side, homes look down towards the Plenty River parklands. Big trees on those back slopes come down in sections, with each piece tied off and let down on a rope.
A street tree over your driveway?
A tree on the nature strip, the grass between the footpath and the kerb, is a street tree. If one is dropping limbs on your car or lifting the driveway, report it to Banyule rather than cutting it yourself.
Anything on your side of the boundary, we can look at and quote.

Montmorency tree questions
We cut it into pieces we can carry or barrow, and take it up to the truck in loads. On the quote, we'll tell you where the truck will park.
That depends on its health. A healthy gum with a few bad limbs can often be pruned, but a big split or a lean may mean removal. We'll tell you which once we've seen it.
Sometimes the only way down is over a fence. When it is, we suggest you let your neighbour know first, and we lower those pieces on a rope instead of letting them drop.
Yes. Old stumps are often softer, but the roots can still spread a fair way under the lawn. We grind the stump out under the soil line so you can cover the spot over.
Keep well away from it and call your electricity distributor, the company that owns the street's poles and wires. When they've cleared the wires, ring us back and we'll book the tree in.
