Arborcraft has a highly skilled and passionate team of arborists, or ‘tree surgeons’, who provide a wide range of residential and commercial tree services in Melbourne.

From soil management through to tree removal and comprehensive tree management plans, Arborcraft are qualified to manage your tree requirements – from the ground up.

Arborcraft provides the following tree services in Melbourne:

Tree Transplanting

While transplanting might seem like an easy task, exposing roots to the air is extremely traumatic for trees and can hinder their chance of survival.

Arborcraft has the equipment and skills to efficiently relocate trees – big or small – to ensure the optimum ongoing health of the tree.


Tree Removal
 There are many reasons you might like to remove a tree, from storm damage through to urban development, and it is important it is done correctly to minimise potential safety hazards to people and property.

Arborcraft have the knowledge, experience and tools to remove any size tree (from even the most confined urban spaces) safely and efficiently, without damage to your property.

Tree Stump Removal

Tree stumps are notoriously difficult to remove without the help of an arborist, as the complex root systems remain intact.

Attempting to dig out, burn or apply chemicals to a tree stump could leave you with a job half done.

Arborcraft can remove your stump using a stump grinder – even in difficult to reach places like raised garden beds.

Plant Health Care

Wood-boring insects are the most common destructive pests of ornamental trees and shrubs.

They tunnel under the bark of your trees, destroying their water and sap-conducting tissues leaving them susceptible to girdling, branch die-back, structural weakness and overall decline.

Arborcraft takes a holistic approach to pest and disease management. This means getting to the root cause of the problem rather than just treating the symptoms. We offer pest and disease solutions such as soil injection, trunk injection and trunk banding.

Chemical sprays are not a solution – harmful chemicals can further damage the tree and leach into the ground.


Tree Pruning

Tree pruning involves the selective removal of certain parts of a plant, such as branches, buds or roots – and it is essential to know what parts of the plant to remove to ensure a strong structural framework.

There are many reasons to prune a tree such as for deadwood removal, shaping, improving health, reducing risk from falling branches, preparing nursery specimens, and increasing the yield or quality of flowers and fruits.

Arborcraft offers formative pruning, deadwood removal, weight reduction, hedge trimming, habitat pruning cabling and bracing.

Soil Management

Good tree management really does start from the ground up. A common problem in urban environments is that over time, the soil becomes too compact.

This can stunt tree growth, and through water and temperature imbalances, can lead to other complications such as root rot.

At Arborcraft, Air-Spade is used to de-compact the soil around the tree before spreading mulch around the root zone. This creates a more porous environment that encourages strong healthy roots and nutrient and water uptake in trees.


Tree Reports

Landowners and tree managers have a legal responsibility to ensure their trees are safe. The simplest way to do this is to have the trees regularly inspected.

Arborcraft can inspect your trees and provide a comprehensive tree report that details how to best manage your trees, including recommendations on practical vegetation management.

Particularly for development, third parties like local councils require tree reports.

Tree Management Plans

Owners and managers of treescapes need a clear understanding of the condition of their assets, and the associated level of manageable risk attached to them.

Arborcraft can produce tree management plans, which guide the implementation of a tree program, such as planting, removal, pruning and trimming.

It serves as the basis for prioritisation, scheduling and budgeting for any large tree program.

By Kimberly Romero • 23 Mar, 2022
Pruning for tree health focuses on cutting off dead, diseased, and dying branches and branches that rub together. Pruning can also be used to nurture trees to develop a strong structure and lessen the likelihood of damage during harsh weather. Pruning for form can be incredibly essential on open-grown trees that do very little self-pruning.

Reasons Why Soil Management Is Important For Trees

By Kimberly Romero • 23 Mar, 2022
The soil supports most living organisms, being the top source of their mineral nutrients. Good soil management guarantees that mineral elements do not become toxic or deficient to crops, plants, and trees. Soil management is essential to trees, environmental sustainability, productivity, and human health, so It’s crucial to know what’s happening beneath the ground. Cultivating the right soil type will make trees grow and live longer, even in urban locations with less room for them to thrive.
