Tree Pruning
Tree pruning is essential for maintaining the health, safety, and aesthetics of your trees.
Our team consists of qualified climbing arborists, so we can reach any tree that a cherry picker can't. We offer plenty of pruning options to keep your trees healthy and safe, which is what we really love doing.
Whether for aesthetics or tree health, we’ll keep your trees looking their best.
Tree Removal
When a tree becomes hazardous or unhealthy, professional tree removal is necessary. Our arborists are equipped with the skills and equipment to safely remove trees, regardless of size. We prioritize safety and efficiency, ensuring that your property is left clean and undisturbed after the job is done.
Stump Grinding
Stump grinding is an essential service for removing unsightly and potentially hazardous tree stumps from your property. Our powerful grinders ensure that stumps are removed quickly and thoroughly, allowing you to reclaim space and enhance the beauty of your landscape. We leave the area clear and ready for replanting or landscaping.
Service Wire Clearing
If your trees are interfering with power lines or service wires, it’s important to have them professionally cleared. Our arborists are experienced in safely trimming branches near service wires to prevent disruptions and hazards. We work in close coordination with utility companies to ensure a safe and efficient clearing process.
Elm leaf beetle treatment
Elm Leaf Beetle infestations can cause significant damage to foliage, leading to stress, loss of vigour, and eventual decline of affected trees if left untreated. To prevent this outcome, we recommend trunk injection as the most effective approach for managing Elm Leaf Beetle. This method introduces the treatment directly into the tree’s vascular system, providing reliable control while reducing risks to non-target species, ensuring accurate dosing, and supporting healthy soil biology.
All applications are performed by our qualified technicians, who hold current Agricultural Chemical User Permits (ACUP) and are trained in the safe use of registered tree health products in accordance with Victorian regulations.
Mulch Sales
We offer high-quality mulch for sale to enhance your garden’s soil health and appearance. Our mulch is sourced from healthy, sustainable materials and is perfect for conserving moisture, reducing weeds, and adding a finishing touch to your landscape. We can deliver it directly to your property to make your gardening projects even easier.
Possum Guard Installation
Protect your trees from possum damage with our professional possum guard installation services. We install safe, effective barriers that prevent possums from climbing or nesting in your trees, safeguarding your property and preserving the health of your trees. Our solutions are discreet and long-lasting, helping you maintain a secure environment.

Testimonials
-
"We have a small number of tall gum trees on our block which need careful care and attention. We employed Matthew and Valley Arbor to maintain our tree. They were very impressive and we have some great results. Matthew and his team were very knowledgable about the different trees, the kinds of care required for each species and the local environment and climate conditions. They pruned and maintained the trees enough to remove some of the heavy upper branches but not so much that the beauty of the trees has been spoiled. Great job, expert knowledge, easy to talk to, and left our yard tidy and debris free."

"The guys did a fantastic job. Tree removal after the last storm. During the rain and hail today. The guys were punctual, mindful of the surrounding plants and house. Polite, tidy and Matt and his crew have a great work ethic. The tree is gone and so is the mess. I would highly recommend Valley Arbor"

"Matt and Tyson did a fantastic job at our place. They removed some over size trees without damaging a single leaf that we wanted to keep. They did radical reductions on some other trees that finished up with a more natural shape than they started with. They turned up right on time, finished promptly and left everything neat and tidy. Well done guys. Thanks heaps."
