Common arborists problems and solutions in Malvern Vic 3144
These are the most frequent issues Malvern Vic 3144 homeowners encounter that require a arborists, along with whether each is a realistic DIY repair or a job for a licensed professional.
Dead or damaged branches overhanging the home Hire a pro
Branches over a dwelling that are dead, storm-damaged or more than 50mm in diameter should be removed by a licensed arborist (minimum AQF3 certificate). The arborist will assess the work from the ground and specify a safe rigging and lowering plan before ascending. Never ask a gardener or general labourer to climb and remove large branches — falls from height are the leading cause of death in residential maintenance work.
Tree roots damaging drains, paths or foundations Hire a pro
Root intrusion into clay drain pipes is very common under large fig, liquidambar and camphor trees in older established suburbs. A licensed plumber can confirm root intrusion with a drain camera and clear the roots with hydro-jetting. An arborist can install a root barrier system to redirect growth away from infrastructure. Removing the tree may be the only permanent solution for severe cases.
Council permit required before tree removal or pruning Hire a pro
Most Australian councils protect significant trees via Development Control Plans (DCPs) or individual Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs). Fines for removing a protected tree without approval can exceed $1 million in some local government areas. An arborist can prepare the tree report required to support a council permit application. Always check with your council before any significant pruning or removal.
Storm-damaged tree leaning toward the property Hire a pro
A storm-damaged tree that is leaning, has a partially uprooted root plate, or has a major stem split is an emergency — contact an emergency arborist immediately. Do not attempt to assess the tree from underneath it. A certified arborist can determine whether the tree can be stabilised or must be removed, and will document the assessment for your insurer.
