Tree Removal

Safely removing all types of trees of all sizes and in all locations. We’ll take care of any applications to local government (if needed), as well as expert stump grinding.

Palm Cleaning & Removal

We remove palms from nature strips, commercial premises, homes and other areas. We can also assess the health of your palm trees and recommend the best methods to help them grow.

Deadwooding

We can safely remove all types of deadwood, eliminating any potential hazards and pest infestations, as well as ensuring minimal environmental impact on surrounding fauna.

Weight Reduction & Crown Lifting

Weight reduction can benefit certain types of trees, strengthening them against extreme weather conditions, and prolonging their lifespan rather than removing them. Crown lifting creates more space between the ground and lower branches, reducing the amount of maintenance required, as well as clearing up any possible obstructions.

Different rules apply in different parts of the Shire depending on the zoning of the land under the applicable local environmental plan.  In general, consent may be required for the removal of large trees in urban areas and for the clearing of native vegetation in rural and environmental protection areas. You should seek advice prior to starting any work on private land that is likely to impact on native or non-native vegetation (including weeds).  Contact Council's Planning and Environmental Health Division for further information on what rules apply to vegetation on your land and whether or not a development approval is required, telephone 1300 864 444.
