Local Expertise
Why Mortdale property owners choose us
What sets our approach apart for tree work in this suburb — credentials, local knowledge, and the way we plan around your property.
Stump grinding bundled or standalone
Stump grinding can be added to any removal in Mortdale — one visit, one cleanup, one invoice. Or we grind old stumps from previous removals as a standalone job.
Safe work near roofs, pools, and fences
Rooflines, Colorbond fences, pool coping, retaining walls, and boundary lines are factored into every rigging and drop-zone plan — not treated as an afterthought.
AQF-qualified arborists, $20M insured
Every job in Mortdale is handled by Level 3 and Level 5 certified arborists with full public liability cover. Insurance certificates provided before work starts.
Georges River Council rules checked before work starts
We confirm whether the tree is protected, the scope needs approval, and what documentation Georges River Council requires — before anyone picks up a chainsaw.
Common Jobs
Typical tree work in Mortdale
These are the tree jobs we handle most often in this area — the specific situations that prompt property owners to call.
Fence-line tree removal
Cocos palms, silky oaks, and eucalypts growing hard against colourbond fences and garage walls. We dismantle in sections to protect the boundary.
Neighbour boundary pruning
Overhanging branches are the number one call in St George. We prune back to the boundary line and clean up both sides if access allows.
Southerly storm cleanup
St George cops strong southerlies off Botany Bay. We clear fallen limbs, make the site safe, and assess remaining structure for follow-up pruning.
Privacy hedge trimming
Murraya, lilly pilly, and photinia hedges kept tight for privacy and street presentation on compact Hurstville and Bexley blocks.
Backyard stump grinding
Grinding old stumps for lawn restoration, garden beds, or paving. We fit compact grinders through side gates and grind below grade.
Overgrown camphor laurel reduction
Camphor laurels are everywhere in St George. We reduce canopy size, remove deadwood, and thin for better light without killing the tree.
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. 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.

“Ahmed from AA Tree Services was a pleasure to work with. His communication was excellent, and he completed the job on time without any hassle. He even went above and beyond by doing extra work at no additional cost. Ahmed was extremely polite, and our neighbors had great things to say about his work. We are incredibly satisfied and will definitely call on him for future projects. Highly recommended.”

Council Guidance
Council rules for tree work in Mortdale
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 Georges River Council before major work
If the tree is established, protected, or part of a broader building or landscape change in Mortdale, council approval should be checked before the scope is locked in.
Georges River and Bayside councils both apply here
St George suburbs fall across two council areas with different tree preservation orders. Hurstville and Kogarah sit under Georges River Council; Rockdale and Arncliffe under Bayside.
Boundary trees need clear ownership before work starts
If a tree sits on or near a boundary, both property owners may need to agree before removal or heavy pruning. We can advise on the process.
The exact suburb and address still matter
St George spans 2 council areas, so the exact suburb, street, tree type, and scope of work can all change the approval position.
