Trees Down Under sends licensed, insured, AQF Level 3-5 certified arborists to clear vegetation under the 10/50 rule on Glenorie bushfire-prone properties. We guide you through the rules, do the clearing and take the green waste away. Book a free inspection and same-day quote.
The 10/50 rule lets owners in mapped bushfire-prone land clear trees and vegetation within the entitlement area around a home, without a separate approval. Rules differ between properties, so check the NSW Rural Fire Service 10/50 tool and The Hills Shire Council before any tree removal. Where a tree is involved, we note its species, height and position in the inspection so you can see what is being cleared and why.
Our AQF Level 3-5 certified arborists cut trees from top to bottom in full safety gear. This keeps the work within the rule’s limits on heavy machinery and suits vegetation management close to homes and fences.
The team is fully licensed, insured and Cm3 certified. If something goes wrong on site, the owner is not left carrying the risk.
The 10/50 rule limits how clearing is done. On Glenorie properties, this is how the work stays inside the rules:
Tree roots hold sloping ground together and slow erosion. Take the tree out and the soil can move. Stream buffers follow similar logic: vegetation near watercourses keeps banks stable and water clean.
Hand tools and careful cutting do the job without disturbing the ground. Leave the soil and the slope alone, and you stay on the right side of the code.

Confirm your block’s status with the relevant authority first. The NSW Rural Fire Service 10/50 clearing page and The Hills Shire Council set out what applies to your land, and we can walk you through it during a free inspection.
Each tree is cut down from top to bottom by arborists in safety gear. No graders, bulldozers or ploughing are used, and nothing is burned.
Green waste is cleaned up and removed from site as part of the job, and stump grinding is available where a stump needs to go. For wider vegetation management, the same crew handles it in one visit, from tree lopping through to final clean-up.
Tenants cannot start 10/50 clearing on their own. If you rent or lease a Glenorie property, you need the landowner’s approval and directives before any clearing under the entitlement area rule goes ahead.
Before booking a quote, sort out a few things with your landlord or managing agent:
Having this settled first keeps the job smooth, avoids disputes later and lets us quote against the right scope. If the landowner is happy to proceed, our arborists can walk the site and handle the work from there, including green waste removal so nothing is left behind.
A 10/50 job often leads to other work, and Trees Down Under covers those next steps around Glenorie. Tree removal for dead, storm-damaged or unsafe trees, stump grinding and removal, and green waste cleanup and disposal sit alongside broader land clearing and arboricultural services for residential and commercial sites. For urgent risks, 24/7 emergency tree removal is available.
