Arborist Reportsin Bendigo
When you need a clear, defensible assessment of a tree, you need a report written by someone who knows trees from the ground up. Luke prepares independent arborist reports for Bendigo homeowners, builders, and property managers, covering planning permits, insurance claims, disputes, and pre-purchase checks. Every report is grounded in a proper site inspection and written in plain language anyone can follow.
Every Arborist Reports Job Covers
Planning permit and development reports
Tree assessments and protection plans that support a building or development application, including the root zone measurements councils ask to see.
Pre-purchase tree assessments
An independent check of the trees on a property before you buy, with any risks, future costs, or removal concerns set out clearly so there are no surprises after settlement.
Insurance claim reports
Documented assessments of storm damage, property damage, and tree-related liability, written with the photos and detail an insurer needs to process a claim.
Tree removal permit support
Reports that back an application to remove a protected or significant tree, explaining the health, condition, and any risk in terms a council assessor can act on.
Hazard and risk assessments
Independent inspections for landlords, owners corporations, schools, and businesses who need a written record of a tree's condition and any duty-of-care concerns.
Boundary and neighbour disputes
Impartial assessments to support a conversation, mediation, or formal resolution where a tree sits near or across a boundary.
A Report Backed by Real Field Experience
Luke's reports come from an arborist who is up trees and on the tools every day, running two crews with a truck-mounted boom, a tight-access tower for awkward Bendigo blocks, and full rigging. If a report recommends work, the same team can carry it out safely.
- 24-metre truck-mounted boom for large takedowns
- 18-metre tight-access tower for restricted sites
- 12-inch and 18-inch wood chippers
- Loader with 1400kg log grab
- Advanced rigging and climbing equipment
- Tipper trucks and tipper trailers for instant removal
- Professional stump grinder

We've now had Luke & his crew do some work for us twice. Highly recommend Luke & his crew, they're awesome at what they do, clean up after themselves, every one of them is polite, knowledgeable, and just really nice guys.
So impressed with Luke and his team. The tree removal was handled efficiently and right on schedule. They were professional, well organised, and clearly knew what they were doing. Highly recommend their services.
Had Luke and his team remove 2 very large trees and grind some previously trimmed trunks. Couldn't believe how professional these guys are. Arrived on site and on time with the latest high-tech equipment. Couldn't overstate my recommendation.
