Managing Director
Removal Services in Morwell, VIC
Morwell is where we are based, so you will see our trucks around town more often than most.
The work that brings us to Morwell is brown-coal and power infrastructure, industrial maintenance, and street-tree work. A lot of it sits close enough to overhead powerlines that the clearance rules decide how the job is done before anybody picks up a saw — which is why we run insulated elevated work platforms rather than only ladders and climbers. For the town’s history, see the overview of Morwell.
Morwell sits inside Latrobe City Council, and the ABS community profile is public if you need figures for a submission. Permits, road occupancy and traffic management all come from the council rather than from us, so on anything touching a footpath or a road it is worth a call before the day is booked. We can tell you what is normally required.
Whatever the job is — a single tree, a season of vegetation management, or an elevated work platform on hire for months — we bring the machine and the crew to you. Tell us the address and what you are working near, and you will get a straight answer about what it needs and when we can be there.

Tree Removal Morwell — Local Knowledge Matters
Morwell is our home base — our yard is on Old Melbourne Road, so local jobs get fast response and no travel charges. Our Morwell-based crews work the Latrobe Valley every week with the full kit — qualified arborists, truck-mounted EWPs, excavation gear and $20M public liability cover. Free quotes, honest advice, and a tidy site when we leave.
Do You Need a Permit to Remove a Tree in Morwell?
Morwell is in Latrobe City, where a permit is required to remove, destroy or lop native vegetation — native trees, shrubs, herbs and grasses. Some properties are exempt, for example a lot of less than 0.4 hectares (under an acre), and the council recommends checking with it before any vegetation is removed.
A Latrobe City planning officer can help on 1300 367 700, and the council’s native vegetation removal page sets out the process. Tell us the address when you ask for a quote and we’ll factor the permit question in before the job is booked.

What Things Cost in Morwell — Honest Price Ranges
Most jobs in Morwell end up mixing a few services in the one visit — a removal that also needs the stump ground, a pruning job that finishes with a mulch delivery, an EWP brought in because a limb sits over the power lines. So here’s the honest picture on price for all of it, not just the headline job. Every figure is plus GST and every quote is free.
What does tree removal cost in Morwell?
With decent access, a tree of about 8–12 metres — fully removed, stump included — is usually around $1,100–$1,200 plus GST in Morwell. Step up to 12–17 metres and it’s more like $2,000–$2,500 plus GST; a big tree over 19 metres in a tight spot with heavy chipping is nearer $4,000–$5,000 plus GST. Two things change those numbers: whether our EWP can get to the tree (if it can’t, the tree is climbed, which takes longer), and how much you want taken away. Leaving the wood for firewood, or just dropping a tree on a farm block, costs less than a full clean-up — we’ll lay the options out side by side.
What does stump grinding cost in Morwell?
Stumps are priced on size and access. With an easy run at it, a small stump around 15 centimetres is about $60 plus GST, a 30-centimetre stump roughly $100–$150 plus GST, and a big one in the half-metre-to-a-metre range $400–$500-plus plus GST. A narrow side gate, a courtyard or a fence hard against the stump is what pushes the number up. If a tree is coming out anyway, grinding the stump in the same visit usually costs less than bringing the grinder back later.
What does tree pruning or hedge trimming cost in Morwell?
There’s no flat rate for pruning, because no two trees are the same job. The common one — a branch touching the power line to the house — is usually a straightforward trim of an hour or two. Big hedges sit at the other end: bringing a large, overgrown hedge back under control and then keeping it on a regular trim runs around $3,000–$4,000 plus GST. A light shape-up of a small ornamental in a Morwell front yard is a fraction of that, and we’ll give you the real number once we’ve seen it.
What does an arborist report cost in Morwell?
If Latrobe City Council or a planning permit needs a professional opinion on a tree, a ground-based defect assessment runs $250–$400 plus GST. A full AQF Level 5 report — the standard councils usually ask for — starts from about $500 plus GST per tree, and for bigger jobs of roughly 20 trees and up it drops to around $180 plus GST per tree.
What does insulated cherry picker or EWP hire cost in Morwell?
Our insulated towers are dry-hired on a long-term basis: around $1,200–$1,500 plus GST per week for a 12–15 metre platform, and $1,500–$1,800 plus GST per week for a bigger 15–24 metre unit, on a minimum term of about three months. Longer terms bring the weekly rate down. Need something in a hurry for a quick one-off job? That’s wet hire with our operator, quoted on enquiry — the same as anything specialised near live power lines.
What does land clearing cost in Morwell?
Land clearing is priced off the machinery the site needs — roughly $150–$300 plus GST per hour. As a real-world guide, a block of about 1,200–1,300 square metres is around a one-day job at that rate. We quote the whole job once we’ve had a look, not just the hourly number.
What does excavation cost in Morwell?
Excavation runs hourly by machine size: a 2.6-tonne excavator is around $120–$130 plus GST per hour, a 6-tonne around $135–$145 plus GST per hour, and a 14-tonne around $150–$170 plus GST per hour, with attachments moving the larger machines up. Prefer a fixed number? Tell us the job and we’ll quote it as a firm price rather than an hourly rate.
What do mulch and firewood cost in Morwell?
Arborist mulch is $25 plus GST per cubic metre, with delivery charged by distance — handy if you’ve just had pruning or a removal done and want the material back on your own garden. Seasoned red gum firewood is $240 plus GST per cubic metre, pickup or delivered, with a 5 cubic metre minimum for delivery. Mixed hardwood pricing moves with the season, so give us a call for the current number.
Vegetation management and traffic control in Morwell
Vegetation management and traffic control — roadside clearing, council and contractor work, traffic management plans — don’t have a one-size number, because the job varies too much from site to site. We quote both free once we know the scope.
Is every price here final? Think of these as real, honest ranges rather than a rate card — the actual number always depends on your job and the access. Every quote is free and confirmed on site or from photos before any work starts, plus GST.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes — Morwell is our home base — our yard is on Old Melbourne Road, so local jobs get fast response and no travel charges. We're based in Morwell and cover the Latrobe Valley as part of our everyday run, with free quotes for every job. Call 1800 GO TREES and tell us what you need done.
As a rough guide with decent access, a tree of about 8–12 metres fully removed including the stump is around $1,100–$1,200 plus GST, a 12–17 metre tree about $2,000–$2,500 plus GST, and a big tree over 19 metres with tight access and heavy chipping $4,000–$5,000 plus GST. Access and how much you want taken away move the number most, and you always get options. Every Morwell quote is free — send photos or book a quick site visit.
Sometimes. Local planning overlays can protect native vegetation and significant trees, and rules differ between shires. When you get a quote from us we'll tell you straight away whether your tree is likely to need a permit, and we can supply the arborist documentation councils ask for — our team prepares AQF Level 5 arborist reports when one is required.
Yes. Between our truck-mounted EWPs, climbing arborists and compact machinery we can dismantle trees piece by piece in tight yards, over sheds, near fences and close to power. Tight access changes the method, not the answer.
Fully — $20M public liability plus workers compensation. We're happy to provide a Certificate of Currency before work starts, which commercial clients and property managers in the Latrobe Valley regularly ask for.
On open ground with easy access, a small stump around 15 centimetres is about $60 plus GST, a 30-centimetre stump roughly $100–$150 plus GST, and a big half-metre-to-a-metre stump $400–$500-plus plus GST. Tight access is what moves the number, and grinding it in the same visit as a removal usually costs less. Every quote is free.
