Sydney Tree Removal Company Considerations
As you can probably imagine, the weight, height, proximity to buildings and property and access constraints make Arboriculture an inherently risky game. Therefore the training, experience, equipment and culture of the individuals performing the work, play the biggest role in ensuring trees are removed safely, efficiently and without incident.
While we have said it before not everyone realizes while permits to remove trees are often required, it is not mandatory for a ‘Tree Lopper’ to hold a certificate 3 in arboriculture or greater in NSW to conduct tree work. This opens the door for untrained and un-insured cowboys to offer you tree work at a significantly discounted rate, but it could cost you dearly in the long run.
To protect yourself, ask for and verify that the tree service you are using holds at least the following:
Certificate 3 In Arboriculture
This trains the climbers in advanced roping, climbing, rigging and safety techniques to brings trees down safely. As well as identifying tree species, structure and anatomy, identifying risks, tree health assessments, pruning techniques and much more
Public Liability Insurance
As a general rule a tree removal company should hold a minimum of 20 million public liability. Some things that public liability insurance include downed fences, falling branches damaging property, repairs, legal claims, medical bills etc. You need to have this piece of mind as a minimum
Professional Indemnity Insurance
Professional indemnity insurance covers you if something goes wrong due to our advice or assessments. For example, if a tree report leads to unexpected damage or financial loss, this policy covers claims for errors, negligence, or omissions. It’s about accountability and expert care.
Just so you know, Shane’s Trees has all that and more… Here is a list of all our qualifications and certifications:

50 Million Public Liability Insurance
10 Million Professional Indemnity Insurance
3 x ISO Accreditations

Proper pruning keeps your trees healthy, encourages strong growth, and prevents hazards from overhanging limbs. Our team understands the biology of different species and prunes to Australian Standards, ensuring your trees look great and stay structurally sound for years to come.
After a tree is removed, the remaining stump can be an eyesore, a trip hazard, and even regrow. Our Sydney stump grinding service grinds the wood well below ground level, letting you reclaim the space for gardens, turf, or construction.
If your tree has grown too large for its space or is putting strain on heavy limbs, crown reduction carefully reduces its overall size while maintaining a natural shape. This process lightens the load and lowers the risk of storm damage.
