Tree lopping is the removal of branches and shoots from a tree. It is usually done to make a tree more aesthetically pleasing, reduce its size, or prevent the branches from becoming a hazard. 

Before going ahead with a tree lopping service, make sure that it is actually the correct service for you. For example, in most cases, careful tree pruning is the recommended alternative as lopping can be harmful to a tree if carried out extensively and without the proper care and consideration. 

If you aren’t sure which service is best suited to you, please feel free to contact us today and we can advise you accordingly.

Tree removal is the complete removal of a tree from the ground up. This is usually done when the tree is a hazard, has become diseased, or is blocking the development of another tree or structure. 

If you have a tree on your property that is becoming a nuisance, please do not hesitate to contact us today and we will gladly have the tree safely and thoroughly removed on your behalf.

Here are some tell-tale signs that a tree should be safely felled and removed:

• It is dead or dying (and beyond repair)

• It has been deemed irreparably dangerous by an arborist

• The tree is causing an obstruction that can’t be rectified via pruning

• The tree is growing and causing harm to other trees and plant life in your garden

• It has root problems that are concerning you

• You wish to replace the tree with a different species

• You need to clear the plot of land for a construction project 

Just make sure that you properly identify the tree before having it removed. Certain species of trees in Australia are protected and removing them without good reason could result in unnecessary fines.

While we can safely dispose of the tree remains on your behalf, if you would prefer to keep the felled tree for firewood, this is absolutely fine by us.

Stump grinding is the process of grinding down a tree stump so that it can be removed entirely. This process requires the use of a specialized machine with a rotating cutting disc and is done to remove a tree stump to free up space for landscaping, building, or other construction activities. 

Felling a tree without stump grinding equipment always leaves you with an unsightly tree stump afterwards. Not only are these unsightly, but they can pose a health hazard as well. 

We recommend that you do not attempt to remove a stump by yourself. Our specialist equipment can make light work of it and help you get the job done properly and without risk of injury.

Yes, these services can be potentially dangerous, especially if done incorrectly. It is important to hire experienced professionals with the right tools and safety protocols in place to ensure the safety of everyone involved.

Rest assured that at Lakeside Trees and Stumps, all our staff are highly trained and have extensive experience in these areas. As such, we will carry out our duties to the highest standard and with no risk to you or your property.

The cost of these services can vary depending on the size and location of the tree and the complexity of the job. It’s always worth booking yourself in with an appointment so you can get a free quote of your own. 

Although it is possible to do the work on your own, it is not recommended. These services can be hazardous and require the right tools and expertise in order to be done safely and correctly. It is best to hire a professional to fell and remove trees from your own property. 

It may be tempting to try and save some money by borrowing a chainsaw from your neighbour and going it alone, but the damage that can be caused both to yourself and your property is not worth the risk.

At Lakeside Trees and Stumps, we take our health and safety protocols very seriously. This includes wearing the appropriate protective gear such as gloves, goggles, and hard hats, and ensuring that the necessary safety measures and equipment, such as ropes and harnesses, are in place at all times.

It is also important to secure the area surrounding the tree before performing any of these services. That way, there can be no risk of anyone walking in front of the tree as it is being felled, or coming too close to the stump grinding equipment whilst it is in operation. 

Again, these are all things that we take very seriously, so you can rest assured that you, your family, and your property will be perfectly safe under the care and supervision of our professional arborists.
