Common Jobs
Typical tree work across Sutherland Shire
These are the tree jobs we handle most often in this part of Sydney — the specific situations that prompt property owners to call.
Storm-damaged gum tree removal
Eucalypts and angophoras that have split, uprooted, or shed major limbs during storms. We make the site safe, remove the hazard, and clean up completely.

Reducing canopy connectivity and ground fuel within 10 metres of homes in bushfire-prone areas. Parts of Menai, Engadine, and Heathcote sit in BAL zones.

Maintaining westringia, lilly pilly, and murraya hedges for privacy and boundary definition. We shape to your preference and clean up every clipping.

Grinding stumps flush or below grade for lawn restoration, garden beds, or driveway extensions. Compact grinder access through side gates.
Hazardous tree emergency response
Trees leaning on power lines, resting on roofs, or blocking driveways after storms. We respond fast and carry $20M public liability.
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.

“What a wonderful service! I called when a big tree suddenly fell in the backyard. Ahmad came that night to make sure there was no danger and provided a quote which was very reasonable. AA Tree Services came back the very next morning and did an absolutely amazing and fast job of removing the entire tree, cleaning up ALL the mess and taking everything away. Ahmad is so sweet and easy to deal with, I can't say enough positive things about him and the service provided!! I would highly recommend this company to anyone needing tree removal or arborist services. A+! 10/10!”

“AA Tree Service provided excellent service. The tree was in a very dangerous condition, and they removed it safely and professionally. The pricing was fair and reasonable, especially considering the level of risk involved. There was no damage to the fence or surrounding area, and everything was cleaned up thoroughly after the job. I’m very happy with the result and would highly recommend AA Tree Service to others.”

Council Guidance
Council rules and tree preservation across Sutherland Shire
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.
Sutherland Shire Council protects native species
The council's tree preservation order specifically protects native trees and trees above certain size thresholds. Permits are needed for most removals and heavy reductions.
Storm damage does not automatically exempt you
A storm-damaged tree may still need council assessment before full removal. We advise on the process and can help with urgent exemption applications when safety is at risk.
The exact suburb and address still matter
The exact address, tree type, and scope of work can still change the approval position across Sutherland Shire.
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 Sutherland Shire.
