With coastal weather, strong seasonal winds and established trees common throughout the region, ongoing maintenance is important to protect both your property and the long-term health of your trees.

Tree pruning and maintenance

Regular pruning helps keep trees healthy, safe and visually appealing while reducing the risk of falling branches during storms or high winds. Our arborists provide professional pruning services designed to improve tree structure, remove damaged growth and encourage healthy development.

We can assist with:

  • Crown thinning
  • Canopy lifting for driveways and walkways
  • End weight reduction
  • Removal of dead, damaged or diseased branches
  • Hedge trimming and shaping

Tree and deadwood removal services

If a tree becomes unsafe, diseased or unsuitable for its environment, removal may be the best option. Forbes Tree Care provides safe and efficient removal of trees and deadwood throughout the Bellarine Peninsula, helping eliminate risks before they become serious hazards.

Whether the issue is storm damage, decay, structural weakness or a tree simply outgrowing its space, we assess each situation carefully and determine the safest removal approach.

Assisting with fire prevention

Preparing for fire season is an important part of maintaining properties across the Bellarine Peninsula, especially during the warmer, drier months. Forbes Tree Care can assist by removing deadwood, trimming back overhanging branches and clearing built-up green waste that can become a fire hazard. We can also mulch material on-site, helping reduce fuel loads while keeping your garden neat and well maintained.

On-site mulching and seasonal clean-ups

Our on-site mulching service is a practical way to clean up branches, shrubs and tree debris while creating nutrient-rich mulch for your garden. This service is especially useful for Bellarine property owners wanting to prepare for warmer weather, reduce debris build-up and keep their outdoor spaces well maintained.

Mulching offers several benefits, including:

  • Helping suppress weed growth
  • Retaining moisture in garden beds
  • Improving soil health over time
  • Assisting with seasonal fire prevention clean-up

Dan has been a pleasure to deal with. Extremely approachable and has a wealth of tree knowledge. He is considered in his approach but also is happy to explain the options so that we both came to a conclusion we were all happy with. Would definitely recommend Dan's services and will be using him in the future.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the opportunity to help with your trees. Unfortunately, the condition of your Liquidambar is worse than we initially thought. We’re happy to proceed with its removal and to assist you with replacement options, and we look forward to seeing what you choose to replant. Dan

Dan was quick to respond and arrive to quote. He was able to turn the job around quickly and did a great job. Great advice and very pleasant to deal with along with an excellent price. I'd thoroughly recommend him to anyone needing a reliable tree service. One tree or ten he seems to manage it very well.
Response from the owner:Thanks Paul. It was great to help you with your yard make over. By removing the previously lopped, decaying trees and grinding the stumps you are now able to start fresh. I'm looking forward to seeing the progress next time we visit. Thanks again.
