Some factors that might affect your quote…
The size of your tree. Generally, the bigger it is, the longer it takes to remove – and the more space vegetation takes up in our trucks!
Ease of access. Trees around properties with steep embankments are often difficult to load onto vehicles.
Equipment needed. Certain projects require the use of barges, cranes and even helicopters which may be reflected in your quote.

There are a number of factors that affect the cost of pruning and removing trees. Check out our answer video where we outline the basis of how costs are calculated. You can also check out our tree removal prices page and use the tree removal calculator to get an idea of how much your project will cost. Or just get in touch for a free quote!
We cover all of The North Shore, Greater Sydney and The Illawarra. See above for our specific locations.
Yes – all of our quotes are complimentary with no obligation.
There are a lot of factors that go into quoting a tree job. And, more often than not, less experienced companies will leave things out, try to change the price mid-job or cut corners on safety. Underinsured or underqualified tree loppers can quote cheaper but if anything were to go wrong – you’d bear the cost. We make sure you’re aware of every cost upfront so there’s no nasty surprises along the way.
Yes, we’re comprehensively insured (so you can sleep easy at night). We hold $20m public liability insurance, workers comp insurance and professional indemnity insurance – with all of our vehicles and machinery covered, too!
There are a lot of variables that determine whether a tree needs council approval. In North Shore, dead trees (as confirmed by Cert 3 arborists), exempt species and smaller species (under 5m tall and 5m wide) don’t require council approval – so that’s good news!
Approval is not required for trees that fall under the state government’s 10/50 bushfire clearing entitlement. Approval is also not required for deadwood removal, if your tree is within 1m of a building, or if no more than 10% of the tree is pruned per calendar year. For more information and detail on whether your tree removal project requires council approval, click here.
Absolutely – we’re owned and directed by a second-generation arborist! We care about quality output – so we nurture arborists through apprenticeships and now employ 25 qualified and experienced talent.
Glad you asked! Generally, a qualified arborist has 3 years of industry experience, a minimum cert 3 in arboriculture and has worked extensively with other qualified arborists to understand the risks involved in safely pruning and removing trees. Learning how to conduct this career safely is an art form – and arborists need to know how to keep themselves and their clients safe without causing increased tree risks. On the other hand, the risk is higher when working with an unqualified arborist (or tree lopper), as they are often self-taught and underinsured.
Yep – from time to time we give away free mulch. We have a yard at Kirrawee and can fill up trailers for you if required.
We can take away stump grindings, yes. Generally (unless mentioned on the quote) stump grindings remain to fill the hole as they’ll subside over time.
You must get permission from your neighbour and council (if it’s a protected tree) to cut down the tree. It is not uncommon for our clients to be the neighbour, and not the tree owner – just be sure to seek approval first!
Contact North Shore Council (NSC) in the first instance. If they’re unable to assist you, seek advice from a Certificate 5 (Cert 5) arborist. In some instances, you may have a case in the land and environment court.
If your tree has been heavily impacted by a storm and is an imminent danger as assessed by a qualified arborist – it can be removed without council approval. The best action (like always!) is to seek the opinion of a qualified arborist through a site inspection.
