What's Included

Every Tree Inspections Job Covers

01

Pre-purchase tree assessments

An honest review of every significant tree before you commit to a property, so there are no costly surprises after settlement.

02

Post-flood and storm checks

Rochester sits on the Campaspe and knows high water. After flooding or wind, we check for waterlogged root plates, lifting, and hidden damage that can cause a tree to fail later.

03

Safety risk assessments

Spotting hazards before they become a problem: deadwood, splits, weak branch joins, and trees that have started to lean over a house, shed, or fence line.

04

Health and condition reviews

Diagnosing decline, disease, pest pressure, or stress, then explaining in plain terms what is happening and what your options are.

05

Riverside and street tree advice

Mature river gums and established street trees need a careful eye. We assess large old trees near homes, driveways, and public frontage for stability and structural soundness.

06

Written recommendations report

A clear summary with photos and prioritised next steps, whether that is pruning, treatment, ongoing monitoring, or removal. Useful for insurers, neighbours, and your own peace of mind.

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 Inspections Questions

It depends on how many trees you want looked at, the size of the property, and whether you need a written report. We keep pricing clear and quote it before any work begins. Call 0457 202 026 for an exact figure for your place.

Rochester falls under Campaspe Shire Council, and some trees are protected or sit within an overlay that requires a permit before pruning or removal. Part of our inspection is flagging when council approval is likely to be needed so you do not get caught out. We can point you to the right process before any work goes ahead.

The usual triggers are before buying a property, after a flood or big storm, when a tree starts to look unwell, before building work near a tree, or whenever a tree has you worried. For older, larger trees close to the house, a check every year or two is sensible.

Yes. Flooding around the Campaspe can saturate the ground and loosen a tree's roots even when the trunk and canopy look fine. We check for lifting, soil movement, and root damage that can cause a tree to fail well after the water has gone down.

Yes. Where you need documentation, the inspection comes with a written summary including photos and prioritised recommendations. If you only need a verbal assessment and a clear conversation about your options, we can do that too.

Absolutely. Pre-purchase inspections are a common request, and we can usually work around a settlement date if you let us know at booking. You will know exactly what condition the trees are in before you sign.

Yes. Inspections are carried out by a qualified arborist with full public liability and professional cover on every visit, and hands-on experience with the trees and conditions specific to this part of the Campaspe region.

A single tree is usually under an hour on site. A property-wide or multi-tree inspection takes longer. Where a written report is needed, turnaround is generally a few business days after the visit.
