When to call a qualified arborist in Geelong and what they can help with

Trees are a valuable part of your property, offering shade, privacy, and curb appeal. But just like any living thing, trees need care—and sometimes intervention. That’s where a qualified arborist in Geelong comes in. At B&B Tree Services, we provide a full range of professional tree care and maintenance services to keep your trees healthy, safe, and well-managed all year round.

Here are some of the key times to call an arborist, and what our team can help with.

When a tree is overgrown or unbalanced

If a tree has grown too close to your home, over a fence line, or is blocking sunlight, an arborist can assess and carry out canopy lifting or canopy thinning. These techniques improve airflow, reduce weight in heavy branches, and make trees safer and more visually appealing.

If you notice dead or dangerous limbs

Dead wooding is essential for maintaining tree health and reducing the risk of falling branches. If your tree is dropping limbs or looks unhealthy, it may be time for a professional assessment. Removing dead or diseased wood also helps prevent the spread of pests or fungal infections.

During early growth stages

Formative pruning is ideal for young trees and helps guide growth into a strong, balanced structure. It prevents future problems and supports healthy development, especially in residential or landscaped environments.

After a storm

Geelong’s weather can turn quickly, and strong winds or heavy rain can damage even the healthiest tree. Storm-damaged trees should be inspected by an arborist who can determine whether removal, repair, or pruning is the safest option.

Our team offers emergency call-outs and fast response to ensure any dangerous trees are dealt with promptly.

When you need a tree removed

While we always aim to preserve trees where possible, sometimes removal is necessary due to poor health, root damage, structural risks, or development. Our arborists carry out safe, efficient tree removal, including coordination with local council if permits are required.

We also offer stump grinding to fully remove all trace of the tree and prevent future regrowth or pest issues.

Planning a landscape or construction project

Before digging or building near trees, it’s important to get professional advice. Arborists can help assess tree health, provide reports for council, and recommend ways to preserve trees during construction.
