Trees Down Under removes single trees across the Blue Mountains, from council permit guidance to full site clean-up. One team handles the whole job, starting with a free tree inspection and same-day quoting where possible. Call 0475 463 597 to book.
A single tree is worth removing when it puts people or property at risk. In the Blue Mountains that usually means storm damage, an overgrown eucalypt near the house, bushfire fuel close to a dwelling, or a hazard on a steep block. Each case needs a different approach, so a free tree inspection by our certified arborists is the starting point.
Our team holds AQF Level 3 to 5 qualifications, and Trees Down Under is licensed, insured and Cm3 certified. We have worked since 2005, and our own crane fleet means crane-assisted removal on tight or sloping sites carries no extra fees.
Multi-stemmed trees such as mallee eucalyptus are common on local blocks and are removed on the same basis as any other single tree, with council rules checked first.
In most cases a tree removal permit is required before a tree is removed or pruted. Blue Mountains City Council manages council approval for tree removal through its ‘Approval to Manage Trees or Vegetation’ form, and the tree should not be touched until the approval is in hand. Council’s tree and vegetation pages set out the current rules, including tree pruning regulations.
Tree removal without approval can bring penalties, and the rules change with the location of the block. Even where an exemption such as the NSW 10/50 Vegetation Clearing Code may apply, a permit check is still sensible.
We work with every local council, so permits don’t have to be a headache. Get the approval right first and the removal itself runs without incident.

Our certified arborists can prepare an arborist assessment and supporting documentation to go with your application.
Heritage tree removal always needs council approval. The same applies to any tree in a heritage or conservation area, and protected native species are covered too, so a permit check comes first. See the Blue Mountains City Council website for the current requirements.
Some tree removal exemptions in NSW apply to properties in bushfire-prone zones under the NSW 10/50 Vegetation Clearing Code. Trees inside the code zone can still need a permit check, so confirm the position before any work starts. Details are on the NSW Rural Fire Service website.
In rural zones such as Mount Wilson, native vegetation clearing falls under Local Land Services and the Local Land Services Act. The Biodiversity and Conservation SEPP and the Blue Mountains DCP can apply as well. Our certified arborists can assess the tree and prepare the supporting documentation.
A single tree removal in the Blue Mountains runs in a set order: arborist assessment, council paperwork if needed, safe felling, stump work and clean-up. Each stage is handled by certified arborists, so you deal with one team from start to finish.
The arborist checks the tree’s height, trunk size, health and position, then confirms whether council approval is likely to be required. We can prepare the arborist report and documentation for the council form. Don’t remove the tree before approval is confirmed.
On steep blocks and tight sites, the crew plans the drop zone first. Our own crane fleet lifts sections over roofs, fences and power lines, with no extra crane fee. Stump grinding or stump removal in the Blue Mountains can be done in the same visit, and green waste is mulched and taken away as part of the job.
Because the crew is licensed, insured and Cm3 certified, you have paperwork to show your home insurer. That matters for tree removal insurance questions if a claim ever relates to the tree. For a quote, 0475 463 597 connects you with the team.
If your job goes beyond one tree, Trees Down Under covers the related work across the Blue Mountains.
