A clear description gets you comparable quotes. Before asking, note:

- your suburb, and roughly how tall the tree is and how wide the trunk is
- what it sits over or near: house, shed, fence, driveway, neighbour's yard
- any powerlines nearby (trees near Powercor lines need authorised workers)
- the narrowest access to the tree, such as side-gate width
- whether you want the stump ground, and the chips and logs kept or taken
- photos from a few angles, including any cracks, lean or dead limbs

Check the permit question first. Many Bendigo gums are native, and native vegetation or a planning overlay can mean you need a permit. Look up your address in VicPlan and confirm with council before any cutting. Nature strip trees belong to council.

Ask for a written quote covering removal, stump, green waste, clean-up and GST, and check the business holds public liability insurance.

A few extra tips: write down the date and time of every quote request, keep the quotes side by side, and ask each business how long the job will take and when green waste will be removed. Never pay the ...
... full amount upfront. If the tree is close to powerlines or leaning over a building after a storm, treat it as urgent and call the right emergency service first, then send an enquiry for the clean-up.
