What this involves

Controlled tree removal around your property

The removal method depends on the condition of the tree and the space around it.

A tree beside a house, above a pool or between buildings often needs to come down in sections. We use climbing and rigging to lower branches and trunk sections, with crane-assisted removal where the site and tree require it.

Removal may be appropriate for a dead or seriously damaged tree, or where keeping it cannot resolve the problem. Pruning is worth considering when selected branch removal can provide the clearance you need.

Trees touching or close to electrical lines need the electricity network's advice and an appropriately authorised work arrangement. Do not approach or try to cut a tree in contact with a line.

We hold $20 million public liability insurance covering the tree work we advertise.

Choosing the work

Tree Removal: suitability and costs

Is this the right service?

  • Dead or structurally damaged trees

    A new lean, large cavity, fungal growth or widespread canopy dieback warrants assessment. These observations do not establish the cause or mean removal is automatically necessary.

  • Storm-damaged trees

    A split fork, snapped canopy or lifted root plate needs prompt assessment. Keep clear of damaged trees. We answer calls and attend urgent tree work 24/7; call to discuss the situation and expected arrival time.

  • Damage around buildings and hard surfaces

    Branches can rub against a roof, while suspected root damage needs its cause established before choosing treatment. Removal may be considered where suitable pruning or other practical alternatives cannot resolve the problem.

  • When pruning cannot resolve the problem

    If the canopy keeps growing back into the roofline, or the real problem is the trunk rather than the branches, another light prune may not solve it.

What affects tree removal costs?

  1. How big the tree is and what it is

    Height, trunk thickness, species, timber density and the condition of the tree change how long the work takes and what gear we need.

  2. How we get to it and what is around it

    A narrow side gate, nearby roof or pool can limit equipment access and the lowering area. Smaller sections and a longer route for carrying material can add work. Electrical-line constraints require separate safety arrangements.

  3. The stump and where the waste goes

    Adding stump grinding and green-waste removal to the same quote can reduce repeated setup and makes it clear what is included.

  4. What the storm has left behind

    Storm damage can change the access, the condition of the tree, what is supporting it and the equipment the job needs. Those details all affect the quote.
