Skyrider Tower Hire Pty Ltd.

Skyrider Tower Hire Pty Ltd is a privately owned tree services and arboriculture company based in Ballarat, with a history dating back over 45 years. It originally supplied tree amenity services to the local council of Ballarat. The company is managed by joint directors Graeme Peterken and Michael Barnett. It services Victoria's regional and metropolitan areas, including Ballarat, Geelong, Colac, Stawell and surrounding areas.

Skyrider Tower Hire works on both commercial and domestic jobs and operates its own traffic management company, A1 Traffic Management. Tree audit reports are completed by a qualified arborist. Services include tree lopping, stump removal, tree trimming under powerlines, mulching and sale of mulch, arborist reports, and hire of elevated platform vehicles.

Ballarat customers repeatedly highlight punctuality as a defining strength, with crews arriving at the agreed time and moving straight into the work without fuss. Several reviewers describe the quality of tree maintenance in detail, noting careful cutting and shaping of established trees and the thorough removal of a diseased gum tree from a backyard, with every trace of debris cleared afterwards. Tidiness recurs as a theme: one account mentions the team even clearing a few small shrubs that had been overlooked, and another notes that nothing was left behind once the job finished.

The people carrying out the work are described as pleasant, efficient and obliging, and the pricing for roughly four hours of labour is consistently called fair and reasonable. Prompt service and sensible rates come up alongside the standard of the finished result, and reviewers point to the same mix of professional conduct and a clean site after completion. The work covers tree cutting, shaping and removal, and the crews handle each aspect with the same attention to detail that customers keep returning to in their feedback.
