Elm tree removal and elm tree pruning across Victoria, with biosecurity protocols in place.
Victoria’s elms are internationally significant, largely because the state has remained largely free of the Dutch elm disease that devastated elm populations in the northern hemisphere. That significance shapes how elm tree removal and elm tree pruning are carried out here, with biosecurity protocols that don’t apply to most other species.
Artistree Professional Tree Care provides elm tree removal and elm tree pruning across Melbourne, on English Elm, Dutch Elm, Chinese Elm, Golden Elm, Weeping Elm and other Ulmus species, whether it’s a single garden elm or a street tree.
Elms are also long lived and structurally strong when properly maintained, which is why elm tree pruning is often the better long term option compared to elm tree removal, provided the tree is sound and not causing a genuine hazard.
Most elm tree jobs fall into one of the following categories.
Elm tree pruning and elm tree removal are both carried out with tool sterilisation between trees, a standard part of protecting Victoria’s elm population from disease. Because so many of the state’s elms sit on streets, in parks or under a heritage overlay, elm tree removal on public land or a significant elm often requires council approval, so it’s worth checking with your local council before planning any work.
Where an elm is on private property and not subject to an overlay, elm tree removal and elm tree pruning can generally proceed as a standard job. Either way, we can talk you through what to expect before any work is booked in, so there are no surprises partway through the process.
Every elm tree job is backed by the same standard of qualification and insurance, and carried out with the biosecurity protocols Victoria’s elm population depends on.
Artistree Professional Tree Care provides elm tree removal and elm tree pruning across Melbourne, for private gardens, streets and public land alike. For trees under a heritage overlay, see our Heritage Tree Services page, and for work on public land, see our Council Tree Services page.
