The landscape of Victoria is the most diverse in Australia, covering beaches, mountains, rainforests, deserts, snowfields, farmlands, and vineyards.
Anyone who has spent any time in Victoria knows that the weather is equally diverse – often covering all four seasons in a single day. Victorian trees need to be resilient as they endure the scorching heat of summer and the powerful storms through winter.
While the changing conditions may be tricky for anyone planning a picnic, they are ideal growing conditions for many species of plants and trees. Some of the most common tree species we see in Victoria are eucalyptus, banksia, lilly pilly, and grevillea, but Jim’s Trees expert arborists can tackle all types of trees.
Our Tree Surgeons offer the full suite of services throughout Victoria, including:
How much do tree services cost in Victoria?
The cost of tree services is dependent on a variety of elements. Not only is the type of tree and condition of the tree important, but so too are external factors like the access to the site and nearby hazards like roads.

Do you need a permit to prune or remove private trees in Victoria?
Tree controls are created and enforced by local councils. Most Victorian councils have strict permit requirements for the removal or significant pruning of trees. Before beginning any tree works, you are advised to check the local laws to determine whether you need a permit to proceed.
What happens if I don’t get a permit?
If you cut down a tree without a permit in Victoria, you might face a pretty hefty fine of over $9,000 if it’s in a residential zone, or over $19,000 if it’s non-residential. This is why it’s important to opt for tree removal through a quality service like Jim’s Trees, where we ensure that each job is approved prior to removal.

Yes, we take the safety of our team and the protection of your home very seriously. Both our team and your property is covered under our $10 million insurance policy.
