Common Jobs
Typical tree work in Burwood Heights
These are the tree jobs we handle most often in this area — the specific situations that prompt property owners to call.
Courtyard fig and palm removal
Cocos palms and rubber figs outgrowing walled courtyards in Balmain and Annandale. We dismantle in sections and hand-carry out through the house if needed.
Federation home canopy clearance
Pruning mature trees away from tin roofs, verandahs, and original timber fascias without damaging period features.
Privacy hedge reshaping
Overgrown lilly pilly and viburnum hedges cut back and reshaped to restore clean boundary lines. Common across Leichhardt and Petersham.
Narrow-access stump grinding
Our compact grinder fits through standard side gates. We grind below grade and backfill so you can turf or pave over the spot.
Storm-damaged jacaranda cleanup
Jacarandas and liquidambars shed heavy limbs in storms. We clear debris, assess remaining structure, and prune for safer regrowth.
Council-protected tree pruning
Selective pruning on trees covered by Inner West Council TPOs — we work within the guidelines and can advise on what is permitted.
Our Process
How we quote and complete tree work
Photos in, quote out, crew on site, property clean. Four steps — the same for every suburb across Sydney.
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. The work is carried out carefully
The crew works to the agreed scope, controlling limbs around structures, chipping green waste on site, and grinding stumps below ground level when that is part of the job.
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.

Council Guidance
Council rules for tree work in Burwood Heights
Tree preservation orders, exempt species, and approval processes vary by council. For removals or heavy reduction, always check before work starts.
Before booking
If the tree is established, protected, or part of a broader building project, council approval should be confirmed before work is booked.
Check Burwood Council before major work
If the tree is established, protected, or part of a broader building or landscape change in Burwood Heights, council approval should be checked before the scope is locked in.
Inner West Council protects trees above 5m
Trees over 5 metres in height or with trunks over 300mm diameter generally need a permit before removal. The council also protects certain species regardless of size.
Neighbouring council areas apply different rules
Canada Bay, Burwood, and Strathfield each have their own tree preservation orders. A tree two streets away may fall under a completely different council.
The exact suburb and address still matter
Inner West spans 4 council areas, so the exact suburb, street, tree type, and scope of work can all change the approval position.
