Hiring someone to drop a large tree next to your house is a big call, and the wrong crew can cost you far more than the job itself. Trees Down Under is licensed, insured and Cm3 certified, with AQF Level 3-5 arborists on every job. We handle the council permit, the felling and the clean-up for one clear price. Book a free tree inspection, or call 0475 463 597.
Licensed and insured means the crew holds the authority to do the work and you are protected if something goes wrong. Trees Down Under carries two types of cover:
Every job is run by AQF Level 3-5 certified arborists, and the business is Cm3 certified. That training covers how a tree will fall, where the load sits and how to keep the site secure near power lines and structures.
With 20+ years of experience and operations since 2005, the crew has handled tree felling across Glenbrook and the Blue Mountains foothills many times over.
Often, yes. Glenbrook sits under Blue Mountains City Council, and many tree removals here need approval before any cutting starts. Trees Down Under works through that process with you, from the first visit to the final sweep of the yard.
A council permit covers native trees, canopy trees and trees that support wildlife. Some small or exempt species can be cut without approval, but it is not always obvious which category a tree falls into. Check the current rules on the Blue Mountains City Council website before anything is cut. The state-wide rules are set out in the NSW Biodiversity Conservation (Vegetation in Non-Rural Areas) framework.
We work with every local council in Sydney. Permits don’t have to be a headache when someone who knows the process handles them from the start.
Joseph Khoury, Director & Founder, Trees Down Under
The arborists inspect the tree, explain whether approval is required and help with the application, including any arborist report the council asks for. Work does not start until the paperwork is sorted, so the removal follows council rules and nothing is left to chance.
Every job starts with a site inspection, then moves through approvals, felling and clean-up in a set order. The approach changes with the site, so here is how we handle the situations Glenbrook properties throw up most often.
Where a tree is too big or too close to a house to drop in sections without risk, the crew uses its own crane fleet. There are no extra crane fees added to the quote, so the price you approve is the price you pay.
Fallen limbs, split trunks and overhanging branches are cut under safe work method practices. Trees near power lines get extra planning before any cut is made, because the drop zone and rigging points decide the method.
Ask for proof, not promises. Any reputable contractor will answer these questions plainly and put the answers in writing.
If a contractor without adequate cover is injured on your property, or a falling limb damages a neighbour’s fence, the liability can land on the homeowner. Checking the certificates first removes that risk.
