Glen Waverley Tree Removal Services
Maintaining the trees on your property is essential for keeping your home and community safe, especially when a tree starts to encroach on your space or a neighbour’s.
From the established gardens and mature gums of the older streets to the townhouse developments reshaping blocks across the suburb, Glen Waverley’s mix of large canopy trees and shrinking backyards means access is often the hardest part of the job, not the cutting.
Our dedicated Glen Waverley crews are trained, qualified and fully equipped with the latest tools and thorough local knowledge to handle all your tree removal and maintenance needs safely and in line with local regulations.

Because Glen Waverley sits within a council area with its own tree protection controls, and because so many local blocks are being subdivided, our crews know the ins and outs of the areas they work in and can tell you what applies before a job goes ahead.
Understanding Glen Waverley’s Tree Removal Rules
Glen Waverley sits within the City of Monash, which runs two separate sets of controls on trees at residential properties: one covering canopy trees, and one covering properties inside a Vegetation Protection Overlay.
If your property falls within the VPO, a planning permit is generally required to remove a tree with a trunk circumference greater than 500mm, measured 1.2 metres above ground level.
Some species are exempt, and vegetation posing an immediate risk of injury or property damage can be dealt with without a permit, provided only the hazardous part is removed.
Our local crews can help you work out whether your property falls under either control before a job starts.

Second to None Service
Obligation-free quotes
To provide a great service, we start by offering a free quote for every job, so you can enquire without commitment. The level of risk involved, the use of dangerous machinery and the technical skills required means that tree services aren’t always cheap.
That’s why we believe in transparency when it comes to cost, providing upfront quotes for every job with no hidden fees.
Comprehensive Insurance Coverage
No one likes to take on unnecessary risk. While the job of climbing up a dying tree and lopping from the top down is unquestionably dangerous, hiring someone to do it doesn’t have to be.
Tree Removal Permit Assistance
Whether you need a full tree or just stump removal, your property may fall under one of the planning overlays described above. Our local crews are familiar with the council process and are happy to share any experience or knowledge that could assist with your application.
We also have a collection of resources on local council regulation to help you navigate your tree protection laws and permit process.
Experience the Jim’s Trees Difference
DIY tree lopping is full of risks, which is why we don’t recommend taking tree care into your own hands. If anything goes wrong, it can put you in serious danger, as well as cause damage to nearby property or neighbouring trees.
Tree removal and other cutting services require special tools and equipment, and that is where Jim’s Trees comes in.
As professional tree loppers, we use our expertise to keep your property safe, and we never cut down a tree unless it’s absolutely necessary. By taking proper care of the trees around your home, you can increase the value of your property and avoid making mistakes that could be costly in the long run.
At Jim’s, we’re focused on providing the best customer service to every customer, and all tree loppers and arborists on our team strive for only the highest standards in their work.
