Stump Grinding in Melbourne
Tree removal almost always leaves a stump. Most clients want it ground out on the same visit — same crew, same disposal, no second call-out. Stump grinding adds $150-$600 depending on stump diameter and root spread, but only if you choose to add it.

The first five minutes after a tree falls determine whether the situation stays manageable or escalates into a larger problem. The order of operations matters, and most homeowners do at least one of these steps in the wrong sequence.
Step 1: Move people, then pets, then vehicles. Establish a 10-metre exclusion zone around the entire footprint of the fallen tree, not just the visible canopy. Limbs hanging in adjacent trees (“widow-makers”) can drop without warning for hours after the initial fall. If anyone was inside the canopy zone when the tree came down, treat them as a casualty until paramedics confirm otherwise — don’t move them unless they’re in immediate further danger.
Step 2: Check for powerline contact before approaching. A fallen tree that is touching, or even close to, an overhead power line energises the ground around it. If you suspect powerline contact, call 000 and the relevant Melbourne distributor — United Energy, AusNet, Powercor, or Jemena — before doing anything else. The energy crew has to isolate the line before any arborist can touch the tree, so getting that call in early saves hours.
Step 3: Photograph the scene from three angles. Insurance assessors need to see the tree’s original position, the damage caused, and any obstruction to access. Take wide shots first, then close-ups of any structural damage to roofs, fences, vehicles, or paving. Time-stamp them on your phone so the metadata sits on the file. Don’t move anything until you’ve photographed it.
Step 4: Call an arborist who responds in hours, not days. A standard quote-and-book arborist isn’t built for emergencies. We dispatch crews specifically configured for fallen trees — chainsaw teams, chipper, and a tipper truck mobilised together so the site is fully cleared in one visit. The earlier we get the call, the earlier you start your insurance claim.
Step 5: Stay clear of the tree itself. The branches and trunk of a fallen tree are under enormous spring tension. A cut in the wrong place releases that tension all at once and sends a section of trunk metres in any direction. This is the most common way DIY clean-up ends up in a Melbourne emergency department. Leave the saw work to people with the training and the protective equipment.
