Safely Removing Trees Near Structures

Our Process and Precautions

You might have concerns about the process of felling trees on your property, especially if they are situated close to buildings or your home, especially in the case of larger trees. In such situations, we have methods to either dismantle the tree into smaller segments or guide its descent to ensure a safe distance from your structures.


Rest assured, our tree removal Sutherland Shire specialists take every precaution to ensure the work area is well-cleared and meticulously set up to guarantee the safety of both you and your neighbours.

Being fully qualified arborists, we equip ourselves with top-tier industrial tree removal tools. We understand that precision in the initial cut is crucial. This approach enhances efficiency and safety. By adopting the correct cutting techniques, we minimise debris, maintain better control over the tree's descent, and achieve cleaner-cut branches.


Once the tree is brought down, we promptly proceed to dismantle it according to your specifications. Should your intention be to convert the tree into firewood, we can relocate the cut sections to a designated area on your property, allowing you to complete the process. Alternatively, if you prefer the tree to be transformed into wood chips, we will carry out that procedure right away. Additionally, after the tree removal, we are capable of grinding the tree stumps. Your approval will always be sought before we consider the job complete.

Tree Removal Sutherland Shire FAQs

  • Do you need council approval to cut down a tree in NSW?

    Private trees in the Sutherland Shire are protected under the council’s Development Control Plan. However, there are exemptions for some species of trees which are listed on the Sutherland Shire Council’s website.


    You can remove a tree without local council approval in the following instances:


    • The tree is dead or dying
    • The tree is within three meters of a building
    • The tree is in a fire zone

  • How much does it cost to take down a tree in my area?

    Sutherland Shire tree removal costs can differ based on several aspects, including size, overall condition, and how easy the site is to access. For a precise quote that reflects the specifics of your property, reach out to Bob and Ben The Tree Men for a free, obligation-free assessment.

  • How long does tree removal take?

    Depending on the size of the tree, it can take up to several hours to remove the tree itself. To make sure our Sutherland Shire tree removal experts effectively clear the area, stump removal is performed as well. Our free quote will provide the estimated timeframe to complete the task. Whether it's a small backyard tree or a large, mature specimen, we have the expertise and equipment to handle it all.

  • Is tree removal dangerous?

    Yes, tree removal can be dangerous, especially for large trees or those close to buildings. To guarantee everyone's safety, it's important to hire trained and qualified Sutherland Shire tree removal specialists as they have the right equipment and expertise to perform the tree services safely.

  • What is the fine for cutting down a tree in NSW?

    Removing a tree in NSW without the proper approval can result in penalties reaching $110,000 under local Tree Preservation Orders. For more severe breaches, the Land and Environment Court has the authority to issue fines as high as $1.1 million.

  • When should you have a tree removed?

    There are multiple reasons to consider hiring someone for Sutherland Shire tree removal services. Some of the most common include:


    • The tree is a hazard to the property and its surroundings
    • The tree is damaged due to storms or severe weather events
    • The tree is diseased or dead
    • The tree is no longer suitable in its current location

  • What is the best time of year to remove a tree?

    The best time to cut down a tree is during winter or early spring when the leaves have fallen and the branches are bare. This makes the process easier and minimises damage to surrounding vegetation. It is also less likely to disturb nesting birds and wildlife, making it an environmentally considerate choice. In addition, there is typically less human activity and traffic during these seasons, which provides a safer work environment for tree removal.

  • Do I need to be home for a tree to be removed?

    As long as the team from Bob and Ben The Tree Men can access your property, you don’t have to be home. We will handle the tree removal efficiently and safely, minimising disruption and leaving your property neat and tidy. Whether you are at work, running errands, or enjoying your day, you can trust that the job will be done professionally and to your satisfaction.

  • How can seniors get free tree removal in my area?

    While tree removal is often costly and rarely offered for free, there are a couple of avenues that seniors in Sutherland Shire can explore for potential assistance.



    1. Support through My Aged Care


    My Aged Care is a government-run program that helps older Australians live independently at home for longer. In addition to cleaning, transport, and meal services, it may include basic garden and outdoor maintenance. This can sometimes extend to light tree trimming or removal, depending on safety and need.


    If you're a senior struggling with yard upkeep, you may be eligible for help under this scheme. The level of support depends on your personal situation and a formal assessment.


    Check your eligibility and find more details here: https://www.myagedcare.gov.au/aged-care-services/home-or-garden-maintenance



    2. Assistance from Your Local Council


    In the Sutherland Shire, the council does not typically offer free tree removal services for private properties. However, there are specific circumstances where assistance or support may be available:


    Trees on Council Land

    If a tree is located on council-managed land and poses a safety risk or is causing damage to private property, the Sutherland Shire Council may intervene. Residents can report such trees, and the council will assess the situation. If deemed necessary, the council will undertake pruning or removal at no cost to the resident. It's important to note that residents should not attempt to remove or prune trees on public land themselves, as unauthorised work is considered vandalism.


    Greenweb Grants

    The Sutherland Shire Council offers Greenweb Grants aimed at restoring and improving bushland on private properties. These grants can cover activities such as removing invasive weeds, regenerating natural bushland, and stabilising creek banks. While the grants are not specifically for tree removal, they can be utilised for ecological restoration projects that may include the removal of certain vegetation. Eligible property owners can apply for grants of up to $2,000. 


    Get in touch with your local council to find out what support options or grant programs might be available in your location.
