Tree Removal Sydney
Tree removal is recommended when a tree is dead, dying, structurally compromised, or causing an obstruction that cannot be resolved through pruning. Our team uses industry-grade rigging, elevated work platforms, and tight-access equipment to safely remove trees of any size, whether it’sa small ornamental in a courtyard or a 30-metre eucalyptus in a confined backyard.
Tree Pruning and Canopy Thinning
Regular pruning promotes tree health, improves natural light, reduces storm damage risk, and keeps your property looking its best. Our arborists follow AS 4373 Australian pruning standards, ensuring every cut is made for the long-term benefit of the tree.
Stump Grinding and Root Removal
After a tree is removed, the stump and surface roots can be an eyesore and a trip hazard. Our compact stump grinder accesses tight spaces, including walled courtyards, narrow side passages, and sloped blocks, and grinds stumps below ground level, ready for turf or replanting.
Arborist Reports
Planning a DA, subdivision, or development near protected trees? Plumb Trees’ Level 5 arborists prepare independent reports including Tree Protection Zones (TPZ), Structural Root Zones (SRZ), and Hazardous Tree Risk Assessments, all accepted by Sydney metropolitan councils.
Mulch and Wood Chipping
We offer mulch for sale.
From a trailer load to truck loads, we can supply you with tree mulch.
Mulch is used to retain moisture in the soil, suppress weeds, keep the soil cool and make the garden bed look more attractive. Organic mulches also help improve the soil’s fertility, as they decompose.
Preventative Maintenance and Tree Management
We at Plumb Tree Service offer the best options for preventative maintenance of your trees.
Preventative maintenance can have a huge impact on your property. It can also give you peace of mind, knowing that you have done all that you can, to ensure the safety of you property and most importantly, your family.
Storm Damage Assessment and Repair
Storm damage repair and hazard tree removal is something that we at Plumb Trees have a lot of experience with. While trees provide significant benefits to our homes, cities and environments, when they fall because of storms or inherent problems, they are a major liability with the threat of injuring people and damaging property. You can have us carry out an assessment of your trees and give you the best advice to reduce the risk of tree failure to keep you safe.
10/50 rule fire hazard reduction
Is your property near large bushland reserves or a national park? Your property may fall within the 10/50 rule which was implemented by the Rural fire service to allow property owners to maintain a fire protection zone around their houses. Plumb trees can instantly check whether your property complies with the rule and help you achieve the adequate protection zone that you may need coming into the next bushfire season.
Emergency Callout Services
At Plumb Tree Service we offer a 24 hour 7 day a week emergency call out service.
How Does the Tree Removal Process Work?
Step 1
Free On-site Quote
We visit your property, assess the tree, and provide an obligation-free written quote at no charge.
Step 2
Council Permit Check
We check whether a permit or a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) applies to your tree under your council’s Local Environment Plan (LEP). If required, we manage the application on your behalf.
Step 3
Site Preparation
We cordon off the work zone, protect surrounding property, and brief the crew on the specific access and rigging plan.
Step 4
Removal
Depending on the tree and site, we either fell the tree in sections using elevated work platforms and rigging, or fell it directionally where space permits.
Step 5
Clean-up and Disposal
All timber is chipped or removed from the site. Stump grinding is quoted separately and can be scheduled the same day. We leave your property clean.
