Sydney Arborists
Why 150+ Sydney clients rated us five stars
AQF-qualified arborists with cranes, chippers, EWPs, and stump grinders — not just blokes with chainsaws.
Most people call us because something has changed — a tree is leaning after a storm, roots are cracking the driveway, branches are scraping the roof at night, or a hedge has blocked the view entirely. The job is usually more involved than it looks, which is why every quote starts with an honest site assessment and a clear price.
AA Tree Services Sydney is a team of AQF-qualified arborists who have been solving these problems across Greater Sydney for over 15 years. We own our cranes, chippers, EWPs, and stump grinders. We carry $20M public liability insurance. And we stay until the site is clean — not just safe, but properly finished.
- Crane-assisted removals and sectional dismantling in tight access
- Pruning to Australian Standard AS 4373 — deadwood, clearance, canopy shaping
- Stump grinding to 200–300mm below ground for turf or paving
- Hedge trimming and reshaping up to 10+ metres with EWPs
- Council tree preservation order advice before you lodge a DA
- 24/7 emergency callouts — storm damage, fallen trees, split trunks

Why AA Tree Services
Why Sydney property owners keep coming back
Fixed pricing, qualified arborists, $20M insurance, and a site you can actually use when we leave.
Fixed price before we touch the tree
Send photos, get a written quote. We break down the method, stump grinding, and debris disposal so you know exactly what you are paying for. No surprises on the day.
$20M insured, AQF-qualified arborists
Level 3 and Level 5 certified. That matters when the crew is dropping a 15-metre limb next to your pool, fence, or Colorbond roof.
Tight access is what we do best
Narrow side gates, rear-only access, trees wedged between townhouses — we section-fell and crane out timber where other crews walk away from the job.
Pruning to AS 4373, not hat-racking
Proper reduction cuts, targeted deadwood removal, and canopy lifting that keeps the tree healthy. If lopping makes more sense, we will say so upfront.
24/7 emergency response across Sydney
Fallen tree across the driveway? Limb through the pergola? Call 0497 777 735 any time. We prioritise safety and access, then clean up properly.

“
“The tree was in a very dangerous condition, and they removed it safely and professionally. No damage, and everything was cleaned up thoroughly.”
Min Tommy TANG
“They cut back a massive hedge quickly and professionally. Excellent clean up afterwards and very reasonable cost overall.”
Lee Jaques
“A big tree suddenly fell in the backyard. Ahmad came that night and removed the entire tree the very next morning.”
Kelli Reynolds
“They cut down several trees, lopped, ground stumps, trimmed tall hedges, and left the site spotless.”

Our Process
How we quote and complete your tree job
From first photo to final cleanup — four steps, no runaround.
1. Send photos — get a fixed price
Text or upload photos of the tree, the access path, and anything nearby (fences, power lines, buildings). We reply with a written quote covering the method, price, and timeframe — usually within hours.
2. We confirm the scope on site
For larger or more complex jobs we inspect in person — checking overhead lines, root zones, drop clearance, and whether the job needs a crane, EWP, or controlled sectional dismantle.
3. Qualified arborists do the work
AQF Level 3 and 5 arborists handle every cut. We rig limbs clear of structures, chip green waste on site, and grind stumps below ground level when that is part of the scope.
4. Site left clean and usable
All timber, mulch, and debris removed or stacked as agreed. The property is raked, blown down, and ready to use. If council follow-up is needed, we point you to the right step.

Costs, council rules, timing, emergency callouts, and what to expect on the day — answered by arborists who do this work every week.
Five core services: tree removal (including emergency and crane-assisted), tree pruning, tree lopping for heavy canopy reduction, hedge trimming, and stump grinding. We work across Greater Sydney for homeowners, strata, builders, and commercial sites.
We cover all of Greater Sydney — 12 regions and over 400 suburbs including the Inner West, Eastern Suburbs, North Shore, Northern Beaches, Hills District, Parramatta, Ryde, St George, Sutherland Shire, Western Sydney, South West Sydney, and the CBD.

In most cases, yes. Sydney councils protect trees above a certain trunk diameter, height, or species. Dead or hazardous trees sometimes qualify for exemptions, but the rules vary by council — always check first.
Our council approval guide covers the process for the main Sydney councils.
Send photos of the tree, the access path (driveway or side gate), and anything nearby — fences, power lines, buildings. Text them to 0497 777 735 or upload via our quote form. We reply with a written fixed price, usually the same day.
Yes — 24/7, including weekends and public holidays. Fallen trees, storm damage, split trunks, hanging branches. Call 0497 777 735 immediately and describe the situation. We prioritise safety and access first, then handle the full cleanup.
It depends on the tree and the site. A small tree in an open yard might be a few hundred dollars. A large eucalyptus near a house requiring crane access could be several thousand. The main cost drivers are tree size, access difficulty, proximity to structures, and whether stump grinding is included.
Our tree removal cost guide gives realistic Sydney pricing ranges.
Pruning is selective — removing specific branches for health, shape, or clearance. Lopping is heavier — cutting back large sections of canopy for height or size reduction. Both are valid depending on the tree, the goal, and the space available.
Our guide on tree lopping vs pruning explains when each applies.
Most residential removals are completed in a single day — sometimes half a day for smaller trees. Large or complex jobs requiring crane work, difficult access, or stump grinding may take longer. We confirm the timeframe in the quote so there are no surprises.
Yes. AQF Level 3 and Level 5 qualified arborists on every job. $20M public liability insurance — we provide certificates on request. ABN 84 908 231 900.
