ABOUT US

What makes Xylem different

• More than 20 years in arboricultural consulting

How we work

We take the time to understand the project, the site and the decisions our advice must support. Our reports are clear and technically defensible, but our role does not end with the report. We work collaboratively with clients, designers and contractors to resolve issues and achieve practical outcomes.

​

Our team

Xylem brings together highly trained arborists, ecologists, soil and plant-health specialists, GIS professionals and experienced project managers. Our team combines decades of practical and consulting experience across development, construction, local government, utilities and large-scale tree management programs.

We have the technical depth to assess complex tree and site conditions, identify and manage risk, develop defensible recommendations, and support projects from early planning through construction and completion.

Our history

Xylem TreeCare was established by Travis Wyper in 2005. Since then, the business has developed from an arboricultural practice into a multidisciplinary consultancy supporting councils, developers, builders, infrastructure providers and project teams.

Today, Xylem brings together expertise in arboricultural consulting, tree risk, planning and development, tree health and diagnostics, project arborist services, urban forest management, GIS and large-scale tree surveys.

Our growth has been built on strong client relationships, practical advice and a commitment to continually improving how arboricultural services are delivered.

 

Quality, safety and environment

Xylem operates under an Integrated Management System that brings together our quality, workplace health and safety, and environmental procedures.

Our projects are supported by defined methodologies, experienced project management and quality-assurance processes. Depending on the scope, this may include data validation, technical review, report checking and senior arboricultural review before information is issued to the client.

These systems help us provide consistent and reliable services while managing project risk, protecting our staff and the public, and minimising environmental impacts.

 

Where We Work

Xylem’s Melbourne-based team supports projects throughout metropolitan Melbourne, regional Victoria and interstate.

We work across residential, commercial and civil development sites, municipal streets and reserves, public open space, infrastructure corridors and utility networks. Our team has the capacity to deliver individual site assessments as well as large, multi-site and long-term tree-management programs.

For interstate or regional projects, we draw on staff and specialist resources according to the location, technical requirements and scale of the work.
