What we do
Tree services across St George
Tree removal
Removal of unwanted, dead or damaged trees and palms. Trees beside buildings or boundaries may need controlled lowering in sections, with crane assistance where the site allows.
Dead, damaged or unwanted trees, taken down in sections.
Tree pruning & trimming
Selective pruning for deadwood, roof clearance and branches over paths. Crown lifting and a careful reduction can create space while keeping the tree in place.
Deadwood, roof clearance and low branches.
Tree lopping & canopy reduction
Help with trees that have outgrown their space. We look at selective pruning, canopy reduction and removal—not indiscriminate topping.
Canopy reduction for trees that outgrew their space.
Tall hedge trimming
Height reduction, side trimming and reshaping for tall hedges and screening trees. The plants’ condition and growth determine how much can be removed while retaining a useful screen.
Height and sides of tall hedges and screens.
Stump grinding
Stump removal by grinding for old stumps and after tree removal. The accessible stump is ground below the surface; deeper roots remain and landscaping may require further preparation.
Old stumps and stumps left after a removal.
Emergency tree removal
Fallen, storm-damaged and dangerous trees, including trees down across fences, roofs and driveways. Call us and we will arrange the urgent work.

Are tree removal rules the same across St George?
No. Our St George service area spans Bayside Council, Canterbury Bankstown Council and Georges River Council, and the rules depend on the council for your street address.
Bayside Council: a permit is needed to prune or remove a tree on private property unless it is no higher than 3 metres and no more than 300mm wide at 1.4 metres above the ground, is a fruit tree, or is on the council's exempt species list.
Canterbury Bankstown Council: trees over 5 metres high that are not on the council's exempt species list need permission for most pruning or removal work, though trees with the centre of the trunk within 3 metres of a wall of the main dwelling are exempt.
Georges River Council: work on any part of a tree 3 metres or taller, with a trunk diameter of 100mm or more at ground level, or with a branch spread of 3 metres or more needs the council's approval first unless the work is exempt under the tree management policy.
Confirm your property’s council and the controls that apply to the tree and work proposed before arranging work. The Sydney council finder links to each council’s own pages.
