Inspection, Quote and Permits
The job starts with a free tree inspection. A Trees Down Under arborist looks at the tree, the access and anything nearby that needs protecting, then explains the options in plain language.
A written quote follows with no hidden fees. If the tree is protected or sits on a regulated block, the team gives council permit guidance before any work is booked. Check your council’s tree rules at the start. Dural properties fall under either Hills Shire Council or Hornsby Shire Council, depending on which side of the boundary you’re on, and some trees can’t come down without approval.
Removal Day
Once approvals are in place, the crew schedules the job at a time that suits you. Timing depends on weather, access and permit status, so dates are confirmed after the inspection. The crew uses its own crane when the tree can’t be climbed or dropped without risk.
Clean-Up
The job isn’t finished when the tree is on the ground. Here is what the clean-up covers:
- Cutting the timber and branches into manageable pieces
- Mulching or hauling away the green waste
- Raking and sweeping the work area
- Offering stump removal if you want the stump gone too
You are left with a clear, tidy site and nothing to dispose of yourself.
