Tree Removal Cost Guide for Sydney
Understanding tree removal costs helps you budget effectively. In Sydney, small tree removal (under 5m) typically costs $500-$1,200, medium trees (5-12m) range from $1,200-$2,500, and large trees (12m+) cost $2,500-$5,000+. Complex removals near power lines or in confined spaces may cost more.
Cost factors include tree height and spread, species (hardwood vs softwood), health condition (dead trees are often easier but may be brittle), access (backyard vs street frontage), proximity to structures and power lines, council permits ($100-$300), crane requirements ($500-$2,000 extra for difficult access), stump grinding ($150-$500 per stump), and debris removal (included in our quotes).
We provide detailed written quotes breaking down all costs with no hidden fees. Our transparent pricing includes site assessment, removal work, complete clean-up, and disposal. Emergency tree removal may incur after-hours rates. Request a free quote to get accurate pricing for your specific tree removal needs.
Why Choose Professional Tree Removal Over DIY
Tree removal is a complex and potentially dangerous task that requires professional expertise, especially in Sydney's diverse landscape with varying property types and conditions. DIY attempts can lead to serious injuries, property damage, and potential legal issues if the tree falls in unintended directions or damages neighbouring properties.
Professional tree removal offers key advantages: safety (we have $20M liability insurance and proper equipment), compliance (we navigate council regulations and obtain permits), efficiency (what takes professionals 4-8 hours could take DIY weeks), expertise (AQF-qualified arborists understand tree physics and rigging), and cost-effectiveness (avoiding property damage, fines, or injuries saves money long-term).
Our qualified arborists are trained in the latest tree removal techniques including sectional dismantling, crane-assisted removal, and rigging systems. We conduct thorough assessments before removal, considering tree health, structure, weight distribution, location, and surrounding obstacles to ensure safe and controlled removal every time.
When Tree Removal is Necessary in Sydney
While we advocate for tree preservation when possible, there are circumstances where removal is the best or only option. Trees that are dead, diseased, or structurally compromised pose safety risks, especially during Sydney's storm seasons (typically December-March). Trees growing too close to buildings, power lines, or underground utilities can cause structural damage or service disruptions.
Throughout Sydney, certain species with invasive root systems (like some figs and eucalypts) can damage foundations, driveways, plumbing, and underground pipes. Additionally, trees that obstruct planned construction, block views, or drop excessive leaves/debris near pools may need to be removed. Heritage trees and certain species require special approval.
Our arborists can assess your trees and provide expert advice on whether removal is necessary or if other solutions like crown reduction pruning, cabling/bracing, or disease treatment might be more appropriate. We always prioritise tree health, property safety, and environmental responsibility in our recommendations.
Our Qualified Tree Removal Team
Our team includes AQF Level 5 Consulting Arborists, AQF Level 3 Arborists, and certified climbers with TAFE qualifications. We hold WorkCover approvals, are members of Arboriculture Australia, and strictly follow Australian Standards AS4373-2007 (Pruning of Amenity Trees) with knowledge of AS4373-2023 updates and AS4970-2009 (Protection of Trees on Development Sites).
With $20 million public liability insurance, comprehensive workers compensation, and 20+ years serving Sydney communities, we've completed over 10,000 tree removals ranging from small ornamentals in suburban backyards to 30m+ eucalypts near heritage properties, busy roads, power lines, and sensitive urban sites. Our experience covers all Sydney soil types, weather conditions, and local tree species.
We invest in ongoing training, maintain professional certifications, and use industry-leading equipment including 20m elevated work platforms, cranes, rigging systems, wood chippers, and stump grinders. Every team member undergoes regular safety training and follows strict protocols to ensure zero accidents and zero property damage on every job.
Tree Removal Process Throughout Sydney
Our tree removal process across Sydney begins with a free on-site assessment by our qualified arborists. We evaluate the tree's species, condition, size, location, and surrounding environment to determine the safest removal method. We also check council requirements and advise on permit needs (most Sydney councils require approval for trees over 5m or certain protected species).
For complex removals, we develop a detailed plan that includes safety measures, equipment requirements, access routes, and timing. Depending on the tree's location and size, we may use sectional dismantling (removing tree in sections from top to bottom), directional felling (for trees with adequate clearance), crane-assisted removal (for difficult access or large sections), or rigging systems (to control branch descent).
After removal, we provide complete clean-up services, removing all branches, logs, and debris from your property. Wood can be chipped for mulch, removed, or cut into firewood if requested. We can also offer stump grinding services to completely remove the remaining stump and roots 300-400mm below ground level, allowing for future landscaping, lawn, or construction on the site.
