If you need tree work in Petersham, NSW, 2049, Trees Down Under can help. Petersham’s federation homes, terraces and unit blocks sit close to mature jacarandas, figs, liquidambars, eucalypts and olives. Inner West Council regulates private trees through the Tree Management Development Control Plan (Tree Management DCP), which sets out when consent is required for pruning or removal. Trees Down Under operates 7 am – 5 pm, Monday to Saturday; closed Sunday. Same-day work applies only to emergency hazards, while non-urgent jobs receive prompt quotes and scheduled visits from our tree removal Sydney team.
How often do I need routine tree maintenance in Petersham?
Routine tree care helps Petersham trees sit safely within compact blocks, shared driveways and older streets. Most mature trees benefit from a check every 12–18 months. Work may be needed sooner when trees:
Overhang roofs, gutters or powerlines
Drop branches over paths or yards
Show early decay or heavy leaning
Grow in tight spaces beside fences or walls
Trees Down Under can assess your tree mix and set a plan that suits your garden, strata or rental property so issues are managed before they escalate.
What Trees in Petersham Do I need Council Approval to remove?
Inner West Council generally requires consent to remove larger canopy trees such as eucalypts, figs, liquidambars and jacarandas, as well as trees on heritage or conservation properties. Some smaller ornamentals and dead trees may be exempt depending on size and condition. Trees Down Under can visit your site, identify the species, measure trunk and height and explain whether the Tree Management DCP applies before any tree removal or major pruning is planned. This helps you stay in line with council expectations while managing safety on your property.

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
