Cedar Tree Services

Deodar Cedar, Atlas Cedar, Blue Atlas Cedar and Cedar of Lebanon are long lived conifers planted in parks, avenues and larger gardens across Victoria, often as specimen or feature trees. Cedar tree removal is uncommon given how long these trees live and how highly they’re often valued, which means cedar tree pruning is usually the first option we consider.

Artistree Professional Tree Care provides cedar tree removal and cedar tree pruning across Melbourne, for established specimen trees on both private and public land.

Cedars can take a century or more to reach their full form, so any decision about cedar tree removal is made carefully, weighing the tree’s condition against just how much history and value is standing there.

Cedar Tree Removal and Cedar Tree Pruning We Provide

Most cedar tree jobs fall into one of the following categories.

  • Cedar tree pruning: deadwooding and occasional crown lifting, generally minimal once a tree is established.
  • Cedar tree removal: full removal where a tree has failed structurally or is significantly diseased.
  • Storm and emergency response: fast turnaround for a damaged cedar or fallen limb.
  • On-site tree health assessments: an on-site look at a large, mature cedar’s structural condition.

Why Cedar Removal Is a Last Resort

Cedar tree pruning is generally minimal once a tree is established, limited to deadwooding and occasional crown lifting rather than heavy reshaping. These are trees that are often decades or even a century or more old, so any pruning is done conservatively to protect the tree’s long term structure.

Cedar tree removal is only considered where a tree has failed structurally or is significantly diseased, given how long lived and highly valued the species usually is on the properties where it’s planted. We’ll always explain our reasoning clearly before recommending removal over pruning on a tree like this.

FAQs

How much does cedar tree removal cost?
Cost depends on the tree’s size and condition, mature cedars are often large, which affects equipment and time on site. We provide a written quote after an on-site look at the tree.
