The trees we remove around Colac
Every district has its own problem trees, and ours are fairly predictable. The Cypress macrocarpa and radiata Pine shelterbelts planted decades ago on Western District farms are well past their useful life now, shedding limbs over fences, stock and machinery sheds. Big river red gums and blue gums sit close to houses on rural blocks around Lake Colac, Beeac and Cressy. In town it tends to be elms, conifers and liquidambars that have outgrown a small block and started lifting paths or finding their way into drains.
Closer to the coast, toward Lorne and Apollo Bay, the weather does most of the deciding. Salt-burnt canopies, leaning trunks and root plates that have started to move after a wet winter are all common, and they need looking at before the next big south-westerly rather than after it.
We work across all of it, on rural, residential, commercial and government sites. Colac Otway Shire, Corangamite Shire, Barwon Water, Parks Victoria, DEECA, Telstra and Geelong Cemeteries Trust are all on our client list, and we’re members of the Victorian Tree Industry Organisation, the International Society of Arboriculture and the Otway Agroforestry Network.
How we remove trees safely
There's no single way to take a tree down. The safe method depends on the tree's size, condition and what's underneath it, so we choose the approach on site, at quote time.
