What we do
Tree services across the Sydney CBD & Inner City
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.

Common questions
Sydney CBD & Inner City tree work questions
Can't see your question? Call us or send a message with photos.
Do I need council approval to remove a tree in the Sydney CBD & Inner City?
The Sydney CBD & Inner City is covered by the City of Sydney Council, where permission is needed before pruning or removing a tree on a home or business property unless an exemption applies; heritage-listed trees generally need development consent and trees protected under the development control plan need a permit. Confirm the rule for your address before arranging work.
You apply to the council yourself; we can advise if you need it. Our City of Sydney Council tree guide sets out the rules and how to apply.
