Removing a tree shouldn’t feel like a gamble
You’ve heard the horror stories — cowboys who butcher the tree, damage the fence, or vanish halfway through.
There’s a dead limb hanging over the roof and every Melbourne storm makes it worse.
The last crew left sawdust everywhere and a stump you’re still mowing around.
You’re not sure if you need a council permit — and you don’t want the fine.
