Prices typically run from about $250 for a small tree to over $3,000 for complex jobs, and the person arranging the work pays. Our fully licensed and insured arborists offer a free tree inspection and same-day quoting for tree removal. Call 0475 463 597 any time.
Prices for tree removal in Sydney run from about $250 for a small tree to more than $3,000 for a complex job. A modest trim or a small tree removal sits at the lower end, often a few hundred dollars. Larger trees, or any job where branches hang over a roof, cost more because the work is slower and more technical.
Roof proximity changes how the job is planned. Branches have to be lowered in controlled sections to protect tiles, gutters and the neighbouring property, and that usually means more labour or a crane. A figure quoted over the phone without seeing the tree is a guess. A photo and a few details turn a rough range into a firm price.
Trees Down Under offers a free tree inspection and same-day quoting. Send a photo of the tree and its position over the roof, or call any time on 0475 463 597, and an arborist will confirm what the job involves and give you an itemised quote.
Height, canopy spread and the condition of the trunk and branches set the baseline. Tight side access, hilly terrain and limbs sitting close to roofs, fences or powerlines add setup and dismantling time. A free tree inspection lets the arborist see all of this before quoting.
Where limbs can’t be dropped safely, crane-assisted removal keeps the roof protected. Trees Down Under runs its own crane fleet, so there are no extra crane fees. If an arborist report or council permit guidance is needed, we flag it before work starts. Green waste disposal and full site clean-up are included in every itemised quote, whether it’s a standard tree removal or a tricky overhanging job.
Overhanging branches near a roof are a safety job first. Get the tree looked at properly so the price reflects the real risk, not a guess.

The short answer: whoever arranges the work pays. If you arrange to trim or remove a neighbour’s overhanging tree, the cost is yours. That stays true even when the neighbour agrees to the work, and even when a council permit has been obtained.
In some cases a court can make the neighbour liable for the expense. This tends to apply when the neighbour has slowed the legal process or refused to provide documents needed to move things along. It is not something to count on, so plan for the cost to land with you.
If a dispute looks likely, keep your evidence together. Photos, video and a shade diagram showing the damage or loss the tree is causing all help your position.
A firm, itemised price early takes the guesswork out. Trees Down Under offers same-day quoting and a free tree inspection, with permit guidance and full site clean-up included. For tree removal near a roof, call 0475 463 597 any time to talk it through.
A permit may be required before an overhanging tree is cut back or removed, depending on the tree and your local council’s rules. Trees Down Under provides council permit guidance and can confirm whether an application is needed before any work starts.
Dead or dangerous trees that pose an immediate safety risk, such as branches resting over a roof, may be exempt. Our AQF Level 3-5 certified arborists check for exemptions during a free tree inspection, so you are not guessing about the rules.
If approval is needed, we explain the process and the likely cost in your itemised quote. Call 0475 463 597 any time to book an inspection or arrange tree removal.
