“He that plants trees, loves others besides himself” – Thomas Fuller
Max Tree Services are Melbourne’s premier tree treatment and removal specialists.
Max’s philosophy is simple. He’ll give you the most honest advice, so you get the best result for your garden, whatever the situation.
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.
Max Tree Services is committed to promoting rehabilitation and conservation
Tree removal is a necessary part of Max Tree Services, but it’s not their sole service. As a qualified arborist, Max knows the value in replacing what has been removed to create a more sustainable future. For every tree that’s removed, Max recommends a more suitable replacement that can be purchased from his list of trusted local nurseries. Through knowledgeable replanting, Max and the team help land owners to protect the habitat of native fauna, encourage greater natural growth for a better eco-system and increase soil stability.
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’s no annoying cigarette butts being stamped out and left in the ground.

Can you help me with my permits?
Each council requires different applications and permits to remove significant trees. It’s essential that your arborist or tree lopper is familiar with the differences for each council, as well as the expected waiting times to receive the permits. Max Tree Services will take care of your tree removal permits with council from start to finish.
What insurance do you have?
Max Tree Services is fully insured to the value of $20M with unlimited height restrictions. You can rest assured your most valuable assets are protected from unexpected events.
