Sometimes a tree has to go — it’s dead, dangerous, diseased or in the wrong place. Removing a large tree safely is skilled, high-risk work, especially near houses, fences and powerlines, and it’s no job for amateurs.

Ironbark removes trees of any size across Geelong — climbing and sectioning them down piece by piece, or rigging and lowering limbs in tight spots — safely, with full insurance, and with the site left clean.

Signs you might need tree removal

  • A dead, dying or diseased tree
  • A tree that’s unsafe or unstable
  • Storm or root damage
  • A tree too close to the house or footings
  • Making way for a build or extension

FAQs

Tree Removal — common questions

Do I need council approval to remove a tree?

Often, yes — many councils protect significant trees. We know the local rules, can advise whether a permit is needed, and can provide an arborist report to support an application.

Can you remove a tree close to my house?

Yes — that’s exactly what skilled arborists are for. We climb and section the tree, or rig and lower the limbs, so it comes down safely with no damage to your home.
