Our backyard was turning into a jungle because we had not tended to it for some time now. Seeing all the new constructions all around it was time to turn to the garden, particularly the tall gum trees which provided a serious shadow. But where to start? To be perfectly honest I wasn’t quite the tree whisperer. Fortunately, within some time I found professional arborist services in Melbourne and they were very efficient in their operation and managed to determine what had gone wrong without adding more harm to themselves. 

Why Arborist? 

• Expert Advice: As it happens, when it comes to trees not all of them are the same. My arborist pointed out two or three eucalypts which were rather ‘leggy’ and required pruning to promote the right growth, or so he told me; the other tree was relatively young and might develop major issues in the future. 
• Sustainable Solutions: Looking at the possibilities to remove yard waste I could not imagine that there are such methods that do not harm the environment. The prunings were chipped by my arborist and these served as mulch hence winning me a lot of money and the addition of nutrients into the soil. 
• Peace of Mind: You know what they say: Melbourne, yes, Melbourne, never had a wetter summer. When the strong winds were blowing, it was such a relief to have a certified arborist come look at the trees for anything dangerous. 

Creating and Improving Your Place in the World 

The transformation of my backyard was not just about aesthetics (although it does look stunning now!). As I discovered later, having healthy trees enhances property value and provides natural shade in summer. Therefore, if you're dealing with a somewhat unruly Melbourne backyard, it might be time to consider the services of a top-notch arborist. They can help you achieve a beautiful urban garden that you'll enjoy for years to come, including proper tree removal if necessary.
