What's Included

Every Tree Health Check Job Covers

01

Pest and disease diagnosis

Identifying borers, scale, leaf-eating insects, and the fungal problems that show up across Goulburn Valley gardens and streetscapes.

02

Stress and decline assessment

Pinpointing water stress, heat damage, soil compaction, and the everyday factors that quietly weaken a tree over time.

03

Structural and decay inspection

Looking for internal rot, hollowing, splitting limbs, and weak branch joins that a quick glance from the ground will miss.

04

Soil and root health check

Assessing the root zone for damage, poor drainage, and the impact of nearby building, paving, or excavation work.

05

Clear treatment options

Practical, prioritised steps to bring the tree back to health, whether that means pruning, soil improvement, treatment, or simply monitoring.

06

Honest removal advice

If the tree cannot be saved, you will hear it straight. No paying for treatment on a tree that will not pull through.

  • 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

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.

Valerie Stone

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.

Kate Donehue

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.

Frequently Asked

Tree Health Check Questions

It depends on how many trees you want looked at and how involved the diagnosis turns out to be. A single-tree check sits in a clear price band, and every quote is free. Call 0457 202 026 and we will sort a time that suits.

Watch for a thinning canopy, off-colour or wilting leaves, dieback at the branch tips, fungal growth on the trunk, oozing sap, small holes from borers, or sudden leaf drop. Any of these is worth checking. The earlier a problem is caught, the more options you have.

Greater Shepparton City Council protects certain trees through local planning controls, and significant or established trees may need a permit before pruning or removal. We can tell you whether your tree is likely affected and point you to the right process. If a permit is required, an assessment supports your application.

Sometimes, and it comes down to the cause and how far the decline has gone. Trees stressed by drought, pests, or soil problems often recover well when treated early. Advanced internal rot is a different story. You will get an honest answer at the assessment rather than false hope.

Yes. The Goulburn Valley sees plenty of borer activity in gums, scale on ornamental trees, fungal issues through wetter spells, and heat and drought stress over summer. The large river red gums along the Goulburn River have their own particular issues. Local experience makes a real difference to accurate diagnosis.

Both. The arborist assesses the tree and recommends a course of action, then carries out any pruning, treatment, or removal you decide to go ahead with. There is no need to line up a separate contractor for the work.

A single-tree check is usually 30 to 60 minutes on site. A full property with several trees naturally takes longer, since each one is inspected properly rather than rushed.

Yes. Every diagnosis is carried out by a qualified, fully insured arborist with genuine hands-on experience across the region's trees, soils, and seasonal conditions.
