Our Process
How we quote and complete tree work
Photos in, quote out, crew on site, property clean. Four steps — the same whether it is a single pruning job or a multi-tree clearance.
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.

“AA Tree Services Sydney delivered an exceptional service on our property. The work involved cutting down several trees, tree lopping, stump grinding, trimming of tall hedges, and a comprehensive clean-up of the entire site. Ahmed was professional, attentive, and made sure everything was completed to our satisfaction. The team worked efficiently, respected our property, and left it spotless. We’re extremely pleased with the results and will definitely be using their services again next season. Highly recommended.”

Council Guidance
Council rules and tree preservation across South West Sydney
Tree preservation orders, exempt species, and application 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 any work is booked.
Canterbury-Bankstown Council has a tree preservation order
Trees above certain size thresholds need a permit before removal. The council also protects specific species and heritage trees — check before assuming the job is straightforward.
Redevelopment sites need tree approvals early
If you are knocking down and rebuilding, the tree removal often needs its own DA condition or separate permit. Sort it early to avoid holding up the whole construction timeline.
The exact suburb and address still matter
The exact address, tree type, and scope of work can still change the approval position across South West Sydney.
Shared property and project work can affect approvals
Boundary trees, strata property, heritage settings, and renovation or building work can all change how tree work is assessed across South West Sydney.
