Robey Tree Services exists for one clear reason: to deliver honest, safe, and expert tree care across Melbourne’s northern suburbs. Based in Lalor, Victoria, we know the local environment well — the mix of native and introduced species that shape our neighbourhoods, and the unique challenges every property presents.
We’re not tree loppers. We’re arborists who value the urban canopy. If a tree can be preserved with careful, strategic pruning, we’ll recommend it. If it’s a genuine hazard that needs to come down, we bring the right equipment, rigging skill, and experience to remove it cleanly and safely.
From a straightforward backyard prune in Epping to a complex large-scale removal anywhere in Melbourne, we approach every job with the same care we would give our own home.
In most cases, yes, especially if the tree is native or has a trunk circumference greater than what your local council (Whittlesea, Darebin, or Hume) permits. We can assess your tree and help you understand the local overlay laws before any work begins.
Absolutely. We specialize in confined-space tree removals. Using advanced rigging and lowering techniques, we dismantle trees piece by piece, ensuring fences, sheds, and gardens remain untouched.
We feed all branches through our industrial wood chipper and take the green waste away. If you’d like to keep the wood for firewood or the mulch for your garden, just let us know!
Yes, absolutely. Robey Tree Services holds $20 Million Public Liability Insurance and complete workers’ compensation cover. Working around houses, powerlines, and boundary fences in Melbourne’s suburbs comes with inherent risks, so we take safety seriously.
Costs depend on several factors, including tree height, branch spread, proximity to structures or powerlines, access (e.g., tight side gateways), and whether stump grinding is required. Small pruning jobs can start from a few hundred dollars, whereas large, complex removals requiring rigging equipment cost more. We provide 100% free, fixed-price quotes so there are never any hidden surprises.
While tree removal and stump grinding are technically two distinct processes, we offer stump grinding as an add-on or standalone service. After felling the tree, we can use our specialized stump grinders to grind the trunk and surface roots 20–30 cm below ground level, leaving the area ready for replanting, re-turfing, or paving.
