Tree Pruning Junction Village the Smart Way
Avoid getting your tree hacked at, or worse, getting ripped off by one of the local cowboys going around. Finding the right tree “expert” for tree pruning Junction Village is not as easy as you might think.
Why? … The issue is the tree service industry is unregulated and is full of unskilled labourers who have bought themselves a chainsaw and advertise themselves as an expert.
3 Easy Hacks to Save you Time and Money
The level of skill needed for tree trimming will depend on the size of the tree and what’s being done. A few branches off a lemon tree, is very different to a removing a large branch from a Eucalyptus tree overhanging your home.
Either way you want make sure whoever you get to do the job is at the very least insured and runs a legitimate business.
Hack 1: This will instantly save you 50%
Depending on the size of your tree pruning job, you might want to consider getting a skilled garden maintenance grew in rather than a qualified tree surgeon.
The reason is price. A tree surgeon is going to charge you a lot more money as they have much larger overheads with insurance, equipment, workers compensation etc.
Important: I only suggest this on trees that are smaller than 5m (15ft). Anything larger than a single story house (5m) will require higher skills that in general lawn and garden maintenance guys do not poses.
Hack 2: Do a quick company health check
Let’s say you have found 3 or 4 companies you wish to quote your tree trimming job.Run their business names through ABNLookup.gov.au
This is a free government service that allows you to see whether their company is legitimate and registered and if they have had any insolvencies in the past few years.
Hack 3: This is where the BIG savings are made
You can do all of the above but still get 3 expensive quotes. Why? Because some companies just plain charge more than others for the same job.
Don’t be in the position of choosing between 3 expensive quotes…
You will find some companies have bigger advertising and marketing budgets (that why you came across them first on Google or in the yellow pages), but guess who picks up the tab for their advertising spend?
You do!
They need to cover their costs somehow and they do it by charging more.
So what you really need to know is;
Who is legitimate
Who is local
Who is Cheap

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.
