Stumped by tree questions?
-
Yes, you may need a permit under the Boroondara City Council tree control regulations, especially if the tree is native, large, or located in a VPO or other overlay. Canopy trees are also protected by Victorian planning rules and require a permit for removal. The qualified arborists at MTS can assess your property and guide you through the permit process.
-
Common trees in Surrey Hills that often require maintenance include eucalyptus, wattles, and banksia trees due to their rapid growth, potential for limb drop, or invasive root systems. There are also plenty of oak and elm trees in Surrey Hills that might require canopy reduction. Older trees in more established areas may also need health assessments.
-
With Surrey Hills’ seasonal climate — wet winters and hot summers — tree pruning is typically recommended once every 1–2 years, depending on the species and location. Regular pruning helps reduce storm damage risk and promotes healthy growth.
-
Yes, MTS offers emergency tree services across Surrey Hills, including urgent removals, clearing fallen branches, and assessing storm-damaged trees to ensure property safety and access. We’ll make sure your property is protected, your driveways and exits are cleared, and your property is cleaned up after Mother Nature has done her worst.
-
The team at MTS understands that you’ll usually want to keep a tree, rather than remove it, so we make sure to assess several factors before making our recommendations. We’ll consider the species of tree and any genetic issues we can predict. Then we’ll assess the health of the tree, identifying any defects we can see and any potential risks the tree poses to property and safety. Our experienced arborists will outline their reasoning for any recommendation, so you can feel confident in making the right call.
