Tip #1: Save up to 43% with company type selection

Depending on the size of your tree pruning in Junction Village, you might want to consider getting a lawn/ garden maintenance company instead of a qualified tree surgeon.

The reason is price! Lawn & garden companies are 50% cheaper.

A tree surgeon in Junction Village is going to charge you a lot more money as they have much larger overheads associated with their business such as insurance, equipment, larger staff, expensive workers compensation insurance etc.

If you are hiring to trim small trees, tidy up hedges or a fruit tree prune, getting a local Junction Village based lawn mowing & garden care company in is your best bet to save a stack of money.

Tree services don’t much like these small cutting jobs anyway as they are not worth their time.

Tip #2: Hire in the off season

All tree services in Junction Village are small businesses. As such they fluctuate their prices depending on workload.

If they are booked out for the next month, they will begin quoting higher prices to slow down demand until the catch up

The opposite is true when they have very little work on. In winter there is not a lot of work going around in Junction Village, yet there are the same amount of tree services looking for work.

Simple supply and demand has tree services handing out cheaper prices in winter months to win work.

If it can wait until autumn/ winter, you can save a further 20% off the price of tree cutting or tree removal in Junction Village.

Tree Pruning Regulations for Junction Village 3977 vic

Casey council do  allow for the trimming of trees without council consent.

The conditions for removal without council approval are as clear as mud.

Below is what we determined.

The council state that; 

The removal, lopping and pruning of trees or other vegetation may require a planning permit. 

They have a ‘significant tree register’ and you can basically remove any tree that is not significant. The document (see below) is quite vague and does not list identified significant trees by location on the register nor do they give an exact criteria for  what qualifies as a significant tree.
City of Casey Mayor Cr Amanda Stapledon recently said ‘Council has varying planning controls for different parts of the municipality – some more restrictive than others’

My strongest recommendation is that you check with the planning department to see whether a planning permit is required.
In most cases if a tree is;

- Dead
- Clearly dying
- Poses an immediate hazard to persons or property 

You can remove the tree without council permission, but be sure to document the tree with photos before doing so.
