Not every day at work feels like a privilege, but this one certainly did.

This stunning lemon scented gum was overdue for some maintenance, so we gave it the attention it deserved. Deadwood removal, balanced the canopy, weight reduction on extended limbs, and the removal of a large sweet pittosporum growing through the canopy have left this tree looking and feeling its best.

Mature specimens like this are irreplaceable. As the centrepiece of the garden, this tree provides character, shade, habitat, and an incredible visual feature that would take generations to replace. We're proud to play a small part in preserving it and helping it thrive for many years to come.

It was an absolute pleasure to look after this beauty

The Alphington Link project is underway and we’re proud to help get it started.

A select number of trees needed to be removed to make way for the new shared path, while the vast majority are being retained and protected throughout construction. It’s great to see a project focused on improving connection through the area while still valuing and preserving the existing urban canopy.

Looking forward to watching this project take shape.

Not how you want to head into the Easter weekend…
A large limb failure from next door left a few unwanted skylights in this roof.

One of the more technical jobs we’ve tackled this year, compromised structure, heavy limbs, and no room for error. Carefully dismantled and brought down safely just after sunset.

All sorted in time for a much safer Easter morning (and chocolate egg hunt). 🐣

Fredwood Tree Services at Kingsbury Market
This Sunday! 🌳

We’ll be at Kingsbury Market (La Trobe Uni car park) on Sunday 7th December, and we’d love you to swing by.

👋 Meet the Crew & Chat Trees
We are your local tree trimmers and qualified arborists.
Come say hi, book a tree inspection, ask about tree health assessments, or get advice on any tree concerns around your home.
Plus, don’t forget to grab some free giveaways while you’re here!

🌿 Branch Out for Biodiversity
We’re also running our community initiative to help make local gardens more wildlife-friendly.

At our stall you can:

🌱 Take home free native seedlings, from trees to grasses and groundcovers (we have at least 200–300 available)
🐦 Check out our hand-built habitat hollows (for sale)
🌳 Learn how to support native birds and wildlife at home
🍻 Grab a free stubby holder on us, because supporting biodiversity is more fun with a cold drink in hand.

Free mulch and habitat logs aren’t available for pickup at the market,
but you can request them through us, just ask at the stall.

Come past, say hello, and take home something for your garden and the local wildlife!

Before and after shots of this Red Gum cleanup 🌳

We removed all the deadwood, some epicormic growth, and the invasive pittosporum that had started growing into the canopy, looks so much better now!

Throwback to our first redwood removal! The Californian Redwood (Sequoia) is an incredible species, the tallest tree in the world, but this one didn’t have the space it needed to grow, planted next to a driveway in Kensington. Unfortunately, it had to come down. Always consider a tree’s mature size before planting!

During our Christmas break we had a chance to focus on some of our more rewarding projects, like creating habitat for native wildlife along the Darebin creek. In cooperation with Darebin Council and the Darebin Creek Management Committee we installed two hollows, one for possums, and one for sugar gliders. Thanks to Sofia at Darebin council and Danny from DCMC for making this happen.

We're going electric!
