Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is the difference between an Arborist and a Tree Lopper?

    Tree Lopping is the act of cutting off large segments of a tree. At Colac Trees we are qualified arborists that understand tree biology and never “lop” indiscriminately. We carefully select which branches to cut, trim and remove. An unqualified tree lopper may not take any of these factors or the tree’s health into consideration.

  • How much does tree removal cost?

    The cost of tree removal will depend on a variety of factors such as size, location, access, and the number of trees. It isn't easy to give an approximate price without visiting your property and looking at the tree, which is why we offer obligation-free quotes. 

  • Can I get a quote over the phone?

    Colac Trees will need to arrange a site inspection to assess the works required before we can provide an accurate quote. Our quotes are obligation free so there is no cost involved in for an inspection.

  • What areas do you cover?

    Colac Trees services the Colac Otway Region, Geelong, Corangamite Region and the Surf Coast.

    You will need to check with your local council to verify the permit requirements for any tree works. Colac Trees does not bear the responsibility for any council requirements.
