Crown reduction, clearance pruning and storm-season work across Murarrie 4172. Fixed quotes, qualified crews.
Murarrie sits at that east-side intersection of light industrial and residential. The houses are mostly post-war and brick, the blocks are reasonable in size, and the trees are a mix of gums, mangoes, and the occasional fig that's been on the land longer than the house.
Most "lopping" calls we get from Murarrie are about safety and practicality. Gum branches over the carport. Mango that's too big to harvest. Pre-storm tidy-up. We handle all of it with proper crown reduction cuts, not the stub-cutting that ruins trees.

Stub-cutting is the cheap, fast version. It looks like progress on the day, but the tree decays from the cut down and throws weakly-attached water shoots. The work has to be redone every 18 months. You pay twice.
Crown reduction does what most people want — smaller, tidier tree — but cuts back to a lateral branch or the collar. The tree heals. The work lasts.
Murarrie services:
The east-side mix throws up the usual jobs.
Big gum dropping deadwood. Mature eucalypts in Murarrie yards routinely run 15+ metres. Deadwooding before storm season is the cheapest insurance you can buy.
Mango out of reach. Tall mangoes go to the bats. Crown reduction back to a useful height fixes the fruit and the lawn underneath.
Boundary tree the neighbour's complained about. Directional pruning from your side handles it cleanly.
Camphor laurel out of control. Declared weed under BCC. No permit needed. We can prune for control or take the whole tree out.
Carport clearance. Branches over the colorbond carport are an avoidable expense. Selective pruning sorts it.
Quote. Photos to 0474 011 120 — fixed price same day.
Schedule. Most jobs within a week. Hazards prioritised.
On site. Climbing crew or EWP. AS4373 cuts. Drop zones managed.
Cleanup. Chipper to truck, lawn raked, hard surfaces swept.
BCC's Natural Assets Local Law applies. Trees over 4m tall or 40cm trunk circumference are usually protected, with exemptions for declared weeds.
Significant reduction on protected trees usually needs council approval. We check this before quoting and lodge the application — including the arborist report — when needed.
We turn up when we say. We quote a fixed price. We do the cuts properly. We clean up. AQF Level 5 lead arborist on every job. $20M public liability with Certificate of Currency on request before work starts.
One of the most common reasons people end up with a bigger bill than they expected is that the original quote didn't actually cover everything. We've taken over enough jobs from other contractors to see the pattern. Here's exactly what's in every fixed-price quote we send for a Murarrie job — and what isn't.
Included: all pruning or removal work as agreed; AQF Level 5 lead arborist on site; climbing and rigging gear; chipper, truck, and tip fees; full green-waste removal; lawn raking and hard-surface sweep; SWMS document on request; Certificate of Currency for $20M public liability on request; the council permit application if one's required (we lodge it; you don't pay extra for the lodgement).
Not included by default, but quoted separately if you want them: stump grinding (we quote this alongside the tree work — usually $80–$200 for a stump on the same visit); arborist report for council (typically $300–$600 depending on scope); replacement planting; turf repair if heavy machinery has been on the lawn.
What we don't surprise you with: additional travel charges, "extra rigging" mid-job, weekend premiums on standard scheduled work, or "the tree was bigger than the photos showed" upsells. If the job genuinely is more than what the photos showed, we tell you before we cut anything and you decide whether to proceed.
The whole point of a fixed quote is that the number stays the same from booking to invoice. Most of our Murarrie work is repeat customers exactly because we don't move the number once we've sent it.
Small pruning $300–$700. Larger reductions on gums or figs $700–$2,000+. Fixed quote after photos.
