Really pleased with the job from Trees Down Under, guys were really pleasant and helpful to deal with. Yard and area left so tidy you’d barely know they were there. Price was very reasonable as well. Communication easy and prompt. Will definitely use them again.

Our trees were seriously overgrown and blocking all sun in backyard – now open and neat. Total tree removal from front that was completely growing around piwer lines.

Congrats Team “Trees Down Under” as you have provided an outstanding and highly professional service. As you know the access to the two large Angophora trees on my property was difficult but your team working in partnership with Transformer Cranes made a difficult job look easy.

Please pass on my sincere gratitude to all concerned for not only the work carried out but also the care and respect they showed to Puppy Rosie and myself.

Thank you for a job well done

Do I need council approval for tree removal in Sydney?

Yes — before removing a tree, you must check with your local council to see if regulations or permits apply. Failure to comply can result in legal action from the Land and Environment Court, including substantial fines. Our team is familiar with the regulations and permits required for tree removal in Sydney and can guide you through the process. We also help you obtain the necessary permits and approvals so your project is completed smoothly and efficiently.

What local council do I fall under when applying for a tree removal permit?

You need to contact your local council directly to confirm which council area your property falls under, as tree removal rules vary between councils in Sydney and across NSW. Start by checking your property’s address, then visit your council’s website or call their tree management team to learn their specific regulations.

Steps to follow:

  1. Identify your council – Check your property address to see which local council you belong to.

  2. Review regulations – Visit your council’s website under “trees,” “environment,” or “planning” to understand permit requirements.

  3. Contact the council – Call the tree management or biodiversity team if you need clarification or forms.

  4. Prepare documents – Some councils require an arborist report with your application.

For access to the full list of tree permit forms and documents, see our Tree Removal Permit Applications – Sydney Councils.

Our arborists will assess your tree’s condition thoroughly and advise whether Sydney tree removal is necessary for your safety and property protection.

Yes, our arborists specialise in safely performing Sydney tree removal even in tight spaces or close to power lines. We utilise specialised equipment and expert techniques to ensure tree removal is done efficiently and safely, minimising any disruption or risk to surrounding structures.

How long does tree removal in Sydney usually take?

The time required for Sydney tree removal depends on the tree’s size, location, and complexity of the job. Generally, standard tree removal can be completed within a few hours, whereas large or complex removals might take a full day or longer. We provide a clear timeframe once our arborists assess your specific situation.

Do you remove all waste after completing tree removal in Sydney?

Notify neighbours if the tree removal may impact shared spaces, and secure pets safely indoors. Our team will handle all other preparations for safe and efficient tree removal.

Can I remove my neighbour’s tree in Sydney?

No, you cannot remove your neighbour’s tree in Sydney without their consent. Under New South Wales law, trees are considered part of the land they are rooted in, and only the landowner has the authority to remove them. If a neighbour’s tree is causing issues, such as overhanging branches or root intrusion, it’s advisable to discuss the matter amicably with your neighbour first. If an agreement cannot be reached, you may seek mediation services or, as a last resort, apply to the Land and Environment Court for an order to address the issue. It’s important to note that unauthorised removal or damage to a neighbour’s tree can lead to legal consequences.

1. What Is the Process of Tree Removal in Sydney?

Tree removal in Sydney requires a qualified arborist and compliance with council rules. Trees Down Under’s full service tree removal process includes:

  1. Conduct a tree risk assessment to gauge the tree’s health and any potential risks associated with the tree service.
  2. Plan the safest cutting or removal method.
  3. Assist with council permits or approvals if required. We provide comprehensive arborist reports to streamline the approval process.
  4. Remove trees using specialist equipment to reduce risks to property.
  5. Provide tree stump removal, which includes tree stump grinding and tree root removal.
  6. Clean up any garden waste or tree debris with efficient green waste removal.
  7. Follow up with post-removal inspections and tree care advice.

Tree trimming is also part of ongoing maintenance and safety, often carried out before removal.

2. What Is the Difference Between Tree Removal and Tree Lopping?

Tree removal and tree lopping in Sydney are often confused, but they are different services:

Tree Removal

  • The complete removal of a tree from top to roots.
  • Needed when a tree is dead, unsafe, or blocking development.
  • Clears land and prevents regrowth.

Tree Lopping

  • Reduces the size of a tree without full removal.
  • An advanced form of pruning for maintenance.
  • Helps control growth and preserve tree health.

3. What Are the Benefits of Hiring Tree Services in Sydney?

Hiring a tree removal company provides several benefits:

  • Maintain tree health and reduce risks with expert pruning or lopping.
  • Improve property safety and landscape appearance.
  • Save time and effort by leaving tree work to professionals.
  • Meet legal obligations and avoid fines for non-compliance.
  • Support environmental care with qualified arborist services.

With a trained arborist, you ensure your property is safe, compliant, and well-maintained.

4. When Should I Call for Tree Removal in Sydney?

You should contact an arborist when:

  • A tree is dead, dying, or storm-damaged.
  • An infected tree may spread disease to others.
  • Roots are weakening land or damaging structures.
  • Trees obstruct views, power lines, or grow too close to buildings.
  • Land is unsafe and cannot support tree growth.
  • Construction, renovation, or landscaping requires clearing.

We also assist with emergency removal and wildlife protection, and we provide reports when permits are needed.

5. How Do I Hire a Tree Service in Sydney?

The best way to hire a tree removal service is to follow these steps:

  1. Research local companies and check recommendations.

  2. Verify that the company is licensed and insured.

  3. Confirm arborists are qualified (minimum AQF Level 3).

  4. Ask about experience and request references if needed.

  5. Get an on-site assessment and written quote.

  6. Compare what is included, such as stump grinding, pruning, or waste removal.

  7. Confirm equipment, PPE, and safety practices.

  8. Check that the team understands Sydney flora and local council rules.

Trees Down Under simplifies the process by providing all of these in one service.

6. What Is Land Clearing and Development?

Land clearing prepares sites for construction or landscaping and includes more than tree removal. It requires planning for species, soil, and environmental impact. Trees Down Under provides:

  • Tree removal and stump grinding
  • Vegetation clearing and mulching
  • Site preparation and grading
  • Environmental assessments
  • Regulatory compliance

We work with residential, commercial, and industrial clients to deliver safe and efficient land clearing in Sydney.

7. What Insurance and Liability Apply to Tree Removal?

Tree removal and land clearing carry risks, which is why proper insurance is essential. At Trees Down Under, we are fully covered with:

  • Public liability insurance
  • Professional indemnity insurance
  • Workers’ compensation insurance
  • Equipment and vehicle insurance

We also have a risk management plan that includes safety audits, strict compliance with industry standards, PPE use, and emergency response planning. Choosing an insured provider protects you, your property, and our workers.
