“He that plants trees, loves others besides himself” – Thomas Fuller
Max Tree Services are Melbourne’s premier tree treatment and removal specialists. And while chopping down trees is a necessary part of the business, it’s their passion for conservation and rehabilitation that makes them stand taller than the rest
What makes Max Tree Services different from other tree loppers in Melbourne?
Max and his team of green thumbs and hearts live by three rules when it comes to providing their service to you:
What’s best for the health of the tree?
What’s best for the health of the surrounding garden?
What details do you need to make an informed decision?
Max’s philosophy is simple. He’ll give you the most honest advice, so you get the best result for your garden. Sometimes this means starting reparation work to fix the soil, or nothing will grow strong and healthy. Sometimes it means trying to improve the health of the tree, with removal as a last resort. Whatever the situation, you’ll be provided with a detailed quote that outlines the services required.
Max can quote the following:
Tree Removal
Engage the experts and protect your home, assets and livelihood when removing trees from your property. Get the job done cleanly and efficiently with the greatest of care to your remaining garden.
Hazardous Tree Removal
Removing overhanging branches, sick and diseased trees, or dead wood all require qualified experts to ensure there‘s no damage to surrounding property or vegetation.
Tree Pruning
Not all trees like to be pruned the same way at the same time of year. Make sure your trees are looking their best with a tree pruning and maintenance program.
Hedging & Shaping
You don’t need to be Edward Scissorhands to have a beautiful looking garden. Let Max and the team look after your hedging and shaping needs.
Stump Grinding
Minimise the maintenance and the risk of termites, disease and infection, by grinding down the stumps in your back garden.
Mulching Services & Sales
Whether it’s having your garden looking neat and tidy, or reducing your water consumption, Max’s mulching sales and service help reduce waste for a healthier environment.
Arborist Reports
Satisfy council requirements for the health and safety of the trees in your surrounding area.
Commercial & Civil
From land clearing to regular maintenance works, Max has you covered for your business or land development.
Drone and RC recovery
Don’t risk damaging yourself or your footage retrieving your drone or RC. When it’s too high to reach, it’s time to call in the experts.
Possum Guards
Possums are both cute and destructive. They’re also a protected species. Installing possum guards helps protect your plants against these hungry marsupials.
Cable Bracing
Heritage trees or trees of significance can benefit from cable bracing when canopy weight and structural weaknesses are causing the tree to crack and fail.
Hazard & Risk Assessment
A visual assessment of the trees on your property to check for potential hazards and risks. Know what to look for and how to address the issues.
Utility Line Clearance
If you have trees near power or tram lines, you must call in qualified experts to remove the branches to safe distances.
Soil Treatments
Often a sick tree starts with imbalanced soil. Protect the trees on your property by testing and maintaining soil health.
Tree Identification Reports
Want to know what trees grow best in your area, or attract the native fauna? Identify what’s already in your garden and what’s best to plant.
How can tree loppers promote rehabilitation and conservation?
Cutting down trees is a necessary part of Max Tree Services, but it’s not their favourite part. They’d much prefer to be creating ecosystems than tearing them down. Often, they’ll turn up to properties where the trees are dead or diseased and are now a hazard. Sometimes trees need to be lopped for other safety reasons, including creating firebreaks for the summer season. Sometimes it’s just that the wrong tree was planted in the wrong place and now needs to be removed.
Whatever the reason, for every tree that is removed, Max offers a more suitable replacement to be planted on your property. They offer a one for one replacement from their own native stock, grafted and cultivated by Max.
This isn’t just about being a nice guy. It’s about preserving the industry and creating a sustainable future. By offering a suitable replacement, it helps protect the habitat of native fauna, encourages greater natural growth and increases soil stability. Max also includes a free maintenance plan to check on the growth of the replanted trees.
The health and quality of the soil is such an important part of healthy tree development. It’s why Max Tree Services offer a soil assessment as part of their rehabilitation packages. Without decent soil, any trees planted will struggle to grow into healthy, mature specimens. Soil conditioning returns the soil to its optimal health by activating dormant bacteria. This creates a greater chance of long-term success.
Soil health is the key reason that Max Tree Services only use bio-oil for their chainsaws and equipment. Bio-oil prevents the contamination of soil, plants, waterways and skin.
When the team from Max’s have finished on your property, it’s left so you would never know they were there. All pools are covered so they don’t get filled with leaf litter, mulch and debris. All rubbish is cleared, and Max’s is a smoke-free environment, so there are no annoying cigarette butts being stamped out and left in the ground.
